The Teva Grandview GTX Boots have been created by the footwear brand to offer hikers with a secure option for easily maintaining stability when hitting their favorite trail.
The boots are finished with a familiar Universal Heel Lock System that looks like what has traditionally been used by the brand on its sandals, but optimized for the closed footwear style. The boots are achieved with additional components that will provide enhanced confidence for wearers including a waterproof leather upper that has been paired with a GORE-TEX Leaf bootie along with a VIBRAM Mega Grip outsole.
The Teva Grandview GTX Boots come in three color options, weigh in at 34 ounces to make them comfortable enough for all-day wear and are priced at $175.
