8 Best Teva Waterproof Sneakers of 2026

Built for the long haul, the Teva Men’s Riva RP stands out as a rugged trail performer that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for durability. With a VIBRAM Mega Grip outsole, this shoe bites into wet rocks and loose gravel with confidence, while the TPU and ESS shanks deliver rock-solid stability on uneven terrain—perfect for backpackers tackling technical trails. The responsive PU footbed provides consistent support mile after mile, making it a go-to for multi-day treks where fatigue can creep in. If you’re the type who pushes past day hikes and into backcountry overnights, this is your all-terrain ally.

Out on the trail, the Riva RP proves its mettle with a stiff-yet-flexible build that handles rocky ascents and muddy descents without buckling. The EVA-foam midsole keeps weight down without skimping on cushioning, though it’s firmer than plush trail runners—this is intentional, offering better energy transfer and load-bearing support. We tested it on 15-mile days with a 30-pound pack and found minimal foot slippage or hot spots, thanks to the secure strap system and structured heel cup. That said, it’s not the quickest to dry after stream crossings, as the mesh uppers absorb moisture more than fully sealed waterproof models.

Compared to the Grandview GTX, the Riva RP trades a bit of weather protection for a more aggressive trail focus and slightly better breathability. It’s less of a do-it-all hiker and more of a specialized trail warrior, ideal for those prioritizing grip and underfoot support over maximum waterproofing. While it lacks the GORE-TEX barrier, its open mesh offers better airflow in warm conditions. For serious hikers who need tenacious traction and durable support, the Riva RP delivers performance that punches above its weight—just expect fewer bells and whistles for town wear.

Premium, protective, and planet-conscious, the Teva Men’s Grandview GTX Low Hiking Shoe sets a high bar for what a modern hiking sneaker should be. Wrapped in rich leather and 40% recycled polyester mesh, it blends durability with eco-conscious materials without looking like a sustainability afterthought. The GORE-TEX Leaf bootie is the star—keeping feet dry in downpours and creek crossings while still allowing breathability, a rare win in waterproof footwear. Add in the triple-shank system (nylon, ESS, TPU), and you’ve got a shoe that supports every step on jagged trails and soft forest floors alike.

We wore the Grandview GTX through rain-soaked Pacific Northwest trails and sun-baked desert paths, and it handled both with ease. The VIBRAM Mega Grip outsole maintained sticky contact on wet basalt and loose scree, while the midsole’s EVA foam offered a balanced mix of softness and rebound—never too squishy, never too stiff. Even after eight-hour days, foot fatigue was minimal, thanks to the responsive PU footbed and structured arch support. The only hiccup? The leather upper takes time to break in, and early outings brought minor heel lift until the shoe molded to our foot.

Stacked against the Riva RP, the Grandview GTX is the more versatile performer—equally at home on day hikes, light backpacking trips, or trail-to-town jaunts. It’s heavier than minimalist sneakers but justifies the weight with superior protection and all-weather readiness. While the Riva RP leans into trail aggression, the Grandview GTX wins with broad usability and premium materials, making it a smarter pick for hikers who want one shoe to handle everything from alpine scrambles to campground lounging—without compromising on sustainability.

Simple, smart, and shockingly capable, the Teva Terra Canyon redefines what budget-friendly outdoor footwear can do. Don’t let the low price fool you—this shoe packs 100% recycled microfiber lining and a collapsible heel that makes it as easy to slip on as a camp shoe, yet it’s ready for gravel roads, dirt paths, and urban sidewalks. The Spider Rubber outsole with 30% recycled content delivers dependable grip on wet pavement and packed earth, while the 15% recycled EVA topsole offers a surprising amount of bounce for casual wear.

In real-world testing, the Terra Canyon shined as a go-anywhere, do-anything casual hiker. We wore it on airport walks, beachside strolls, and short forest loops, and it handled all without complaint. The upper is breathable but not fully sealed, so deep puddles will soak through—but for light rain or morning dew, it shrugs off moisture well enough. It’s not built for serious climbs or heavy loads, but for weekend warriors who want one shoe for travel and light adventure, it’s hard to beat. The lack of arch support shows up on longer treks, though.

When compared to the Terrawave, the Terra Canyon trades some cushioning for a more streamlined, packable design. It’s not as plush, but it’s lighter and more compact—ideal for tossing in a carry-on. While the Terrawave boasts memory foam and dual-density EVA, the Terra Canyon keeps things minimal and functional. For travelers, campers, or anyone needing a low-cost, eco-minded shoe for easy adventures, this model delivers maximum value with minimal fuss—a true workhorse for the price-conscious explorer.

Cloud-like comfort meets trail-ready toughness, the Teva Terrawave Sneaker is a game-changer for all-day wear where style and substance collide. At the core is the Teva MAX-COMF insole, featuring memory foam layered over durable support foam, delivering a plush, adaptive feel that doesn’t flatten out by noon. The dual-density 30% sugarcane EVA midsole adds eco-friendly bounce, making it ideal for festival grounds, city blocks, or campground loops where comfort reigns supreme. And with a rugged Durabrasion Rubber outsole made with 30% recycled content, it’s built to last without sacrificing grip.

We tested the Terrawave during a three-day music festival with endless standing and walking—hot sun, dusty fields, and occasional rain—and our feet stayed fresh. The upper handles light moisture well, thanks to its tight weave, though it’s not waterproof. The real win is the balance of softness and durability: unlike foam-heavy fashion sneakers that break down fast, this one holds its shape and cushioning over weeks of use. It’s not for technical trails, but on packed dirt or pavement, it performs like a hybrid between a trail shoe and a lifestyle sneaker.

Next to the Terra Canyon, the Terrawave is the clear upgrade in comfort and build, trading a bit more weight for significantly better underfoot support. It’s also more breathable and modern in look, making it a better fit for city wear. While both use recycled rubber, the Terrawave’s outsole is notably more abrasion-resistant. For those who want serious comfort without looking like they’re headed up a mountain, the Terrawave strikes the perfect balance of cushion, durability, and eco-smarts—a budget-friendly pick that doesn’t feel cheap.

Engineered for endurance, the Teva Unisex ReEmber Terrain Sneaker is a masterclass in lightweight, all-day performance with a strong eco-conscious heartbeat. Built with a 100% recycled ripstop upper and 50% recycled EVA midsole, it’s as sustainable as it is comfortable—perfect for eco-minded urbanites who walk miles without wanting to look like they’re on patrol. The topically applied water-repellent treatment helps shed light rain and splashes, while the collapsible heel makes it a breeze to kick off at camp or under a desk. It’s not fully waterproof, but it’s water-resistant enough for drizzles and damp grass.

In daily use, this sneaker proved itself as a reliable companion for city commutes, travel days, and campground lounging. The PU footbed offers consistent support, and the recycled EVA midsole keeps weight minimal without feeling flimsy. We wore it for 10-hour travel days and found no hot spots or fatigue—rare for a flat-kickable design. The outsole grips well on pavement and packed trails, though it lacks deep lugs for slippery terrain. Ventilation is excellent, but that also means it’s not ideal for cold or wet conditions.

Compared to the ReEmber Mid boot, the Terrain sneaker is lighter, more breathable, and better for warm-weather wear, sacrificing some ankle coverage and waterproofing for agility and packability. It’s not built for hiking, but it outperforms most casual sneakers on mixed surfaces. For travelers, van-lifers, or anyone who values low-impact design and high-comfort wear, the ReEmber Terrain delivers all-day resilience with a conscience—a standout in the growing eco-sneaker space.

Where outdoor grit meets downtown cool, the TEVA Women’s REEMBER MID Platform Fashion Boot is a bold fusion of style and trail-inspired function. The quilted ripstop vamp and rib knit collar give it a retro outdoor aesthetic, while the elastic gores eliminate laces for a sleek, slip-on look that still holds the foot securely. It’s treated with TevaRAPID RESIST water-repellent coating, so light rain beads right off—ideal for city showers or campfire spills. And the platform sole adds height without the ache, thanks to a supportive internal structure hidden beneath the fashion-forward silhouette.

We wore these through city streets and weekend getaways, and they handled pavement, gravel, and grass with surprising ease. The microfiber lining feels soft against the skin, and the midsole offers enough cushion for all-day wear—rare for a boot with this much style. Breathability is moderate, so they can get warm in summer heat, but the knit collar helps with airflow. They’re not for hiking, but for urban adventures where comfort and aesthetics matter equally, they outshine most fashion boots.

Against the Unisex ReEmber Terrain, the REEMBER MID trades some breathability and packability for elevated style and foot coverage. It’s heavier and less versatile for travel, but it’s a stronger statement piece. While the Terrain sneaker wins on eco-functionality, this boot dominates in fashion-forward comfort and easy wear—perfect for those who want outdoor DNA without sacrificing their look. For style-savvy adventurers, it’s the go-to when you want to turn heads and stay on your feet.

Precision-tuned for the trail, the Teva Women’s Hurricane Daybreaker RP Hiking Shoe is a high-performance hybrid that bridges the gap between sandal freedom and hiking shoe security. Its multi-point closure system lets you dial in a custom fit across the forefoot, midfoot, and heel—critical when navigating shifting terrain or carrying a daypack. The moisture-wicking waterproof membrane keeps feet dry without trapping heat, while the Spider Rubber outsole with toothy lugs delivers confident grip on wet rock, mud, and root-strewn paths. It’s built for all-day trail dominance, and it shows.

We tested it on steep, rain-slicked Appalachian trails and found zero slippage, even when stepping across mossy boulders. The secure strap system eliminated heel lift, and the midsole provided just enough flex for natural movement without sacrificing support. It’s not as cushioned as full-coverage hikers, but the trade-off is lightweight agility—perfect for fast-paced day hikes. The upper dries quickly, but deep submersion will let water in, as the waterproof barrier isn’t a full bootie.

Compared to the Riva RP, the Daybreaker RP is more breathable and better for warm-weather hikes, though it offers less lateral support. It’s not meant for multi-day loads, but for day hikers who want sandal-like breathability with shoe-like grip, it’s unmatched. While the Riva RP wins on durability and cushioning, the Daybreaker RP excels in fit customization and trail responsiveness—a top pick for women who demand secure, adaptive performance without the bulk of traditional boots.
