I may be wrong on this but I'd wager that the rubber they use on these shoes is a 5.10 product. I have a set of Teva sandles from way back that came with 5.10 "spider" rubber on them. They were geared towards rockclimbers and rafting folks. So the two companies have had a relationship in the past. 5.10 makes different blends of rubber that vary in durability and stickyness. The "stealth" you see on 5.10 shoes is what is used on climbing shoes. The teva's may have the other, less sticky, "spider" blend. I think the colored ones look like Bruce Lee's cousin...Uggh Lee. The Black ones look good though. It's always good to have more companies jumping into the market and bringing more choices to the consumer. Good luck to Teva. Hope to see you guys succeed with the mtb goods.

HUGE props to the trailbuilders. Those trails are beautiful! Great riding by all three.

Hmm, an overwhelming negative response from your target audience? I wonder if they should rethink this? Or just can it? I'm also sick of all these standards that are for no real use. I recently sold a 2010 fox fork with a 15mm axle and tapered steerer. I got next to nothing on the used market due to it's specificity. If it was an 1-1/8 or 1.5 and 20mm I probably could have gotten twice that amount. It's rediculous. Get a clue Giant.

Great job guys! Shasta!

Whenever I see Margus' name on a PB post I get stoked. Bar none has the best photos in the biz. How he blends the riding and the natural terrain truly is art. Keep up the good work Margus. You are inspiring.

Thanks for the trail props, guys. Took a ton of work by some dedicated dudes to make those trails. Billy rides them with style. The new Diamondbacks are really nice! Had some time on a Scapegoat and it is a great bike.

Great riding Matt. To all who don't know what we have going in the Puget Sound area. Here ya go. Duthie bike park is an amazing place with amazing trails. http://evergreenmtb.org/home/index.php

Shred it Luke! Good luck!
