Teva sandals began twenty years ago. Being an avid outdoors guy, Mark Thatcher had an idea. He wanted to create a sturdy sandal so people could enjoy water and land activities. The sport sandal began its popularity. Teva Women's Dozer Sandal is an all purpose, all terrain toe-protection sandal. Teva Men's Proton II Water Shoe. A fantastic hydro shoe. A time tested Teva favorite.
