No More Stinking Tevas!

Sandal specialist Teva has tackled pong-generating microbes head on with a permanent treatment that claims to kill smells well dead.

Footwear specialist Teva is showing a red card to stinking sandals with their new 2004 range, or part of it in any case with several models now treated with an environmentally-friendly antimicrobial protective system.

The Teva Wraptor 2 - one of several
models incorporating the Microban
Zinc treatment

Four models in the range now incorporate a Microban® Zinc treatment which is impregnated into the sole unit and hinders the growth odour-causing bacteria and fungus. It's a permanent treatment, good for the life of the sandal, which won't wash out or wear away.

As long time Teva users, we can confirm that this is definitely a good thing as the footbeds tend to clog with dead skin cells which then start to pong.

Models which use the new treatment include the £70 Wraptor 2, which is a running sandal offering, says Teava, 'the protection and comfort of a boot', the classic £65 Terra-Fi rafting sandal, a direct descendant of the original Teva watersports sandal and the £40 Cross Terra and Hurricane, £30.00 models.

Now if the weather would just sort itself out again, we'd have a great excuse to get out there and develop our Teva tan...
