Targhee III Open Toe Sandal - Men's

EVA, or Ethylene Vinyl Acetate, is a lightweight plastic used in the footbed and midsole of sandals. Its cushioning properties provide comfort and support, making it ideal for long walks or hikes. The flexibility and shock-absorbing qualities of EVA help reduce impact on your feet, ensuring a more enjoyable outdoor experience.

ALL.TERRAIN Rubber is specifically designed for outdoor footwear, offering a durable and grippy texture that provides excellent traction on various surfaces, including mud, rocks, and wet ground. This versatility makes it perfect for a wide range of activities, from hiking to casual walks, ensuring you stay stable and secure no matter the environment.

Hook-and-loop straps, commonly known as Velcro, consist of two strips that create a secure closure when pressed together. In sandals, these straps allow for easy adjustment, providing a customizable fit that keeps the sandal securely on your foot during activities. This feature enhances comfort and prevents slippage, making your outdoor adventures more enjoyable.

An ankle strap wraps around your ankle to provide additional support and stability. This is especially important during activities like hiking or paddling, where movement is involved. The ankle strap helps keep your foot in place, enhancing comfort and reducing the risk of slipping, allowing you to focus on your adventure.

A multi-directional lug pattern refers to the design of the tread on the outsole of the sandal, featuring raised portions called lugs arranged in various directions. This design improves grip and stability on different surfaces, whether you're walking uphill, downhill, or across uneven terrain. It’s particularly beneficial for outdoor activities, ensuring you have the traction you need to navigate diverse environments safely.

The combination of EVA cushioning, ALL.TERRAIN Rubber for traction, hook-and-loop straps for adjustability, ankle straps for support, and a multi-directional lug pattern for grip creates a sandal that is not only comfortable but also highly functional for outdoor activities. Together, these features ensure that you can enjoy your adventures with confidence, knowing your footwear is designed to handle various terrains and conditions.
