Sandal-Inspired Hiking Boots

The Teva Grandview GTX Boots Have a Familiar Heel Lock System

— March 30, 2020 — Fashion
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.
Trend Themes
1. Sandal-inspired Hiking Footwear - There is an opportunity to innovate designs of hiking footwear that combine the comfort and design of sandals with performance features suitable for hiking or outdoor adventures.
2. Brand-specific Footwear Technologies - Brands can create and optimize new technologies that they currently use on their sandals to improve and innovate their other product lines such as boots or athletic footwear.
3. Hybrid Hiking Footwear - Combining different product categories can be a disruptive innovation opportunity, such as hybrid hiking footwear that combines features of sneakers, sandals, and boots to offer a more versatile option for consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Footwear Manufacturing - Footwear manufacturers can create innovative designs that combine the comfort of sandals with the performance features and durability of hiking boots to bridge the gap between hiking and beach wear.
2. Outdoor Recreation & Sportswear - Sportswear and outdoor recreation companies can expand their product offerings to include hybrid footwear options that cater to individuals who enjoy both hiking and outdoor activities that require comfortable and versatile footwear.
3. Adventure Tourism & Hospitality - Adventure tourism and hospitality companies can offer customers the option to rent or purchase hybrid footwear to use during their outdoor activities, providing comfort, durability, and versatility for their adventures.
