Fresh off a headline-grabbing collab with Sean Wotherspoon, Teva isn’t taking a breather.

Their latest drop, the Trailwinder Mid, feels like a statement piece: proof that the brand can hold its own in the performance-lifestyle space without leaning on a partner name. This one’s all Teva DNA; athletic, technical, and built to go places.

At first glance, the Trailwinder Mid doesn’t scream “traditional hiker.” It’s sleek, lightweight, and tuned for speed, designed less like a bulky boot and more like an agile all-terrain sneaker. That’s thanks to the LITE-COMF® midsole, Teva’s in-house cushioning tech that keeps things soft underfoot without bogging you down. Pair that with a waterproof GORE-TEX membrane, and you’ve got comfort plus weatherproofing dialed in. rain, streams, or snowmelt don’t stand a chance

Underneath, the shoe gets serious. The outsole features tiered traction lugs that bite into dirt, gravel, and slick rock with equal confidence, giving you a secure grip whether you’re pushing up a switchback or jogging down a loose descent. Reinforcement comes via a durable toe cap to guard against knocks and scrapes, while a neoprene ankle cuff protects and stabilizes without sacrificing mobility. It’s rugged, but in a modern, streamlined way.

One of the coolest features hides in the lacing system: a dual-point closure setup that lets you fine-tune the lockdown separately at the forefoot and instep. Translation? You can keep the front snug for precision while leaving a little flex at the ankle, or vice versa. It’s modular, it’s clever, and it makes the Trailwinder Mid feel truly adaptable across different conditions.

The end result is a shoe that bridges the gap between trail runner and hiking boot — fast enough for athletic pursuits, sturdy enough for demanding terrain, and stylish enough to pull off post-hike in the city. Teva might be best known for sandals, but with the Trailwinder Mid they’re flexing hard in the outdoor sneaker category. And honestly? They might have just cooked up one of their most versatile designs yet..
