Teva

The original sport sandal emerged from the shores of the Grand Canyon back in 1984. Born out of necessity to prevent sandals from floating downstream, a resourceful river guide strapped two Velcro watchbands to a pair of old flip-flops. And just like that, Teva was born. They were showing their Ember Moc slipper collection and a new Ember Mid with a side zipper closure, a new Grand Canyon color scheme in the Ember Moc and sandals, and finally some new colors in their boot and shoe lineup.

Ember Moc

Terrain-friendly, yet couch-certified, the Teva Ember Moc slipper shoe is designed for downtime with its quilted, nylon rip-stop upper. A cushy, collapsible heel is guaranteed to deliver ultimate lounge-ability, whether in-flight or at the campsite. Engineered with a responsive polyurethane footbed for an extra spring in your step and a rubber sole for durability, this cushy camp shoe features a lightweight EVA-foam midsole. With a collapsible heel and carry-on approved packability, this slip-on will not disappoint.

The newly redesigned Ember Mid features a water-resistant upper, a lateral zipper for easy entry, and a grippy rubber outsole.

Stegmann

Born in 1888 and based in Tyrol, Austria, Stegmann has been producing some of the world’s finest wool felt comfort shoes for over 120 years. They have the new EcoWool hand-felted wool clogs, the Original 108 Wool clog, the new leather Halstatt Sport clog, and a new leather/wool lace-up clog/shoe.

EcoWool Hand-Felted Clogs

Stegmann is introducing their new EcoWool hand-felted wool clogs. Chemical-free, dye-free and 100% offset (even the emissions from the sheep), these versatile clogs are perfect for indoors and out, backyard or courtyard, perfectly thermo-regulating and even cute. Anatomical foot support including heel cup, arch support, toe bar, and metatarsal pad, will retail for $130 in August 2019.

Sourced from one specific type of sheep as part of their Species Preservation Initiative – helping farmers with rare breeds to maintain a viable business and to keep local farming alive, as well as rare breeds.
Two types:
  • Tyrolean Stone Sheep from Austria (grey)
  • Shetland Sheep from Scotland (brown)

Original 108 Wool Clog

The most comfortable shoe you’ll ever own is their best selling Original 108 Wool clog. Their Tyrolian (Austria and Europe) and Merino wool (New Zealand and South America) blend are masterfully hand felted into a single seamless one-piece upper, then paired with an anatomically contoured cork sole for arch and metatarsal support. Wear as an indoor/slipper, house shoe or casual wool comfort shoe.

  • Fits True to Size, runs slightly wide
  • The wearer will enjoy a seamless, non-rubbing, non-irritating shoe, as well as an extended lifespan as there are no internal seams that can come apart.
  • Unlike other clog brands who purchase sheet goods and sew them together, Stegmann has perfected its unique felting method over generations – Our thick, seamless wool upper is what makes our classic wool clog a standout among other comfort clogs.
  • Natural Latex & Cork sole for a traditional look with built-in support
  • Anatomically shaped cushioning built into both the sole and the wool for superior arch, metatarsal and toe support – orthopedic level comfort with classic good looks
  • 1” heel rise & ¾ inch toe platform – gentle slope aids in reducing ankle and back pain

Halstatt Sport Clog

The Halstatt in Tan features a 100% recycled sole made from reclaimed natural cork and rubber. Retails for $135 and available in August 2019.

Olukai

OluKai was showing off their Nohea Moku and ʻInana water shoes, the KīPī and ʻInana sandals.

One step inspired it all – the wet sand principle. A barefoot sink slowly into the wet sand, all at once it cups the heel and fills the arch while the toes splay out. Inspired by the feeling of bare feet in wet sand, they build their footwear with anatomically contoured footbeds to deliver the perfect balance of instant comfort and lasting support. A portion of all proceeds directly supports the Ama OluKai Foundation, honoring those who preserve and celebrate the cultural heritage and Aloha spirit of Hawai‘i. Every pair gives back.

Nohea Moku

Equipped for wet conditions, the Nohea Moku is inspired by and designed with nautical life in mind.

  • Features: Our patented Drop-In Heel® design offers both a shoe or slide functionality. Stretch bootie construction for barefoot wear and medial water drainage ports.
  • Upper: Lightweight, breathable mesh upper with a stretch air mesh tongue and gusset. Elastic lacing system for easy on/off use, medial water drainage ports and minimally lined with a soft, breathable microfiber.
  • Footbed: Dual-density anatomical PU footbed with a polyurethane gel insert. Soft, quick-drying jersey knit or single layer mesh footbed cover for maximum comfort and breathability. Removable and washable.
  • Outsole: All-weather, non-marking rubber cupsole with razor siping for traction on wet surfaces.

ʻInana

Hawai‘i’s lifeguards often practice a less-is-more lifestyle, training all year to stay fit and healthy. With this in mind, we imagined our new Inana shoe to be athletic, functional and downright ruggedly handsome. The streamlined, one-piece mesh upper is paired with a ‘Wet Grip Rubber’ outsole featuring a barnacle-inspired lugged design for exceptional traction in wet and dry environments.

  • Features: Tested and approved by the HLA, our patented Drop-In Heel design offers both a slide and shoe functionality, embroidered logos and a lace toggle for easy on/off function
  • Upper: A functional, one piece open mesh upper with a custom cut foam backer and no-sew welded TPU overlays for a seamless fit. Minimally lined with a breathable single layer mesh.
  • Footbed: Dual-density anatomical EVA footbed provides excellent support and cushion. Hydrophobic and perforated to save weight and shed water. Removable and washable.
  • Outsole: Lightweight, compression molded EVA midsole with drainage ports that encapsulate the heel. Non-marking ‘Wet-Grip’ rubber outsole with lugged pod design inspired by a cluster of barnacles for superior traction on wet and dry surfaces.

KīPī

Hawai‘i lifeguards log an incredible amount of beach time, both in and out of the water. They understand the importance of seamlessly moving between ocean and land without missing a step. Tested and approved by the Hawaiian Lifeguard Association, the Kipi sandal transitions between water and land as nimbly as these lifeguards do.

  • Features: Water-ready build tested and approved by the HLA, features decorative strap stitching welded hook logo, laser footbed detail, and a custom jacquard webbing tag, which represents the traditional colors of the HLA.
  • Upper: Water-resistant synthetic straps with quick-drying jersey knit lining and a soft, comfortable nylon toe post.
  • Footbed: Compression molded EVA midsole with a brushed drop-in ICEVA footbed provides anatomical fit for sustained comfort.
  • Outsole: Non-marking Wet Grip Rubber outsole lugged and siped for added traction on land and wet surfaces.

Kia‘i II

Ask any surfer worth their salt, and they’ll tell you that the Hawaiian lifeguards are some of the most talented and brave watermen alive. That’s why we teamed up with the Hawaiian Lifeguard Association to design and field test our Kia‘i II. The result is a sandal that’s both tough, comfortable, and—just like Hawai‘i’s brave lifeguards—always has your back.

  • Features: Soft nylon toe post webbing, welded HLA island chain detail, and laser-etched HLA footbed logo.
  • Upper: Water-resistant synthetic straps, with a soft quick-drying jersey knit lining, and a soft nylon toe post
  • Footbed: Anatomical non-slip brushed EVA drop-in footbed. Compression-molded EVA midsole.
  • Outsole: Non-marking rubber outsole. With coral reef lug design for added grip.
