Teva Decker

Teva is an American brand of footwear founded in 1984 by Mark Thatcher. The brand revolutionized the outdoor industry by creating the world's first sport sandal, featuring a unique strapping system that kept shoes from floating away in river currents. It quickly became a staple for hikers, travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.

While the brand was born in the Grand Canyon, manufacturing is now conducted through a global network of partners. Most Teva products, including the Decker line, are manufactured in Asian countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, and China to leverage high-quality footwear assembly facilities. The brand remains committed to sustainability by using recycled materials in many of its iconic straps.

Today, Teva is owned by Deckers Outdoor Corporation (doing business as Deckers Brands). This parent company is a major player in the global footwear market, also owning well-known brands like UGG and HOKA. Deckers Brands is headquartered in Goleta, California, and manages the design, marketing, and distribution of Teva products globally.
