Full details

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for long-distance hiking?
The Teva Hudson Sandals are best suited for day hikes and moderate trails due to their supportive EVA midsole and shank. For extended multi-day treks, you might consider hiking boots or more specialized footwear.
Can I get these wet?
While the Durabrasion Rubber™ outsole and EVA midsole can handle getting wet, the premium suede upper is not ideal for prolonged submersion. If they get wet, allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat to prevent damage to the suede.
How do I clean the suede upper?
Gently brush the suede with a suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Avoid using water excessively on the suede.
What is the purpose of the nylon shank?
The nylon shank is integrated into the midsole to provide added stability and support to your foot, particularly when navigating uneven or rocky terrain. It helps prevent the sandal from twisting excessively.
How does the antimicrobial treatment work?
The sandals are treated with Life Naturals, a responsibly sourced, peppermint-based antimicrobial agent that helps to fight the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping your feet fresher.
Are these sandals recyclable?
This style is recyclable through the TevaForever recycling program. You can send any well-loved Teva sandals to be recycled, ensuring they do not end up in a landfill.
What is the weight of the sandal?
The half pair weight for a size W7/M9/I2/3/T4/K13/Y4 is 12.5oz. Weights will vary slightly for different sizes.
Troubleshooting
Straps won't stay secured
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. If the hook-and-loop is worn, it may need replacement.
Discomfort or rubbing
Adjust the straps for a more precise fit. Ensure the sandal is the correct size. Break in the sandals gradually with shorter wear periods.
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow product instructions carefully. Avoid excessive water.
Poor traction on wet surfaces
While the Durabrasion Rubber™ offers good grip, extremely slick surfaces can still pose a risk. Clean the outsole periodically to ensure optimal performance. Dry the sandals thoroughly after exposure to water.
