What do yall think of this thing?
90 bucks is way better than what they tried to charge last year for sure.

..Kyle rocked them hard

I didnt like the sole but they seemed to be holding up and easy to slip on and off...

i really like that teva is doing this, just wish they had shoes that look completely like skatebaord shoes, vans, fallen, etc. would be sick!!!

416, they seem to be making great efforts to be a part of whats going on , they might not have it nailed yet but I have to give it to them for trying, and for recognizing the right people to put on their team

I just feel like teva doesn't understand who they're designing for. It's cool they're trying to support wakeskating, but both of their wakeskate shoes look totally weird and they're expensive on top of that.

I hate any metal (eyelets) on shoes worn on a boat.

Metal+shoes=scratches and tears on boats. Idea

Send me a PM, I will design those shoes for you guys!

Teva is a great company and they have been making some rad products over the years. They will get this right.

Persistent marketing will only get a company so far if its their product that is not aesthetically pleasing to consumers. I understand that Teva is trying to be original with a concept but they need to step it up. I wonder if they get any feedback from actual riders/wakeskaters/skateboarders to help design these shoes. Don't get me wrong what they are doing is great, but they should defintely try some classic skate style shoes with things such as vulcanized soles/ all suede upper/ etc. But then again maybe they are wanting to keep it a certain way. Idk

I appreciate what Teva is doing for the sport by sponsoring the Devise and Conquer, and putting a team together. Hopefully they continue to do so
