Teva ReEmber Terrain: EVA Footbed
The ReEmber Terrain Slip On uses a substantial 25 mm ULTRA-COMF footbed within a puffy, post-adventure shoe. Our job at component level was to organize the profile, internal fit, EVA direction and recycled-material documentation without borrowing claims from the upper or outsole.
25 mm profile and material definition
The challenge
A substantial footbed needed to fit the shoe and carry a clearly defined material story.
Teva publishes a 25 mm ULTRA-COMF footbed for the ReEmber Terrain, while the project brief points to recycled EVA. The development challenge was to turn those inputs into a precise component: confirm the profile, decide which layer uses recycled material, define the EVA targets and keep the footbed aligned with the upper and outsole interfaces.
Our work
What We Did
We focused on the geometry, material, interfaces and checks needed to move the part into shoe testing.
Mapped the 25 mm construction
We organized the last, footbed outline, contour and heel-to-forefoot profile around the space available inside the slip-on.
Defined the recycled-EVA direction
We separated the material intention from the final claim and identified the feedstock, content range, calculation basis and traceability documents to confirm.
Set component targets
Hardness, density, resilience, compression behavior, surface, color and bonding were treated as project-specific inputs rather than generic EVA properties.
Connected the part to the shoe
We planned dimensional and material checks for the footbed, followed by fit, step-in feel, flex and durability review in the full ReEmber Terrain construction.
Result
The Result
The team had a practical route for evaluating a thick footbed without losing track of material scope. Profile, fit and EVA properties could move through component development while the recycled-content statement waited for the right supporting documents.
In the finished shoe: Teva presents the ReEmber Terrain as a post-adventure and camping slip-on with a puffy ripstop upper, 25 mm ULTRA-COMF footbed and rugged rubber outsole. We focus on the footbed; water resistance, warmth and traction belong to the complete shoe and its other systems.

FAQ
Common Questions
Why call out the 25 mm profile?
A substantial footbed affects internal volume, foot position, upper fit and the connection to the outsole. We need the full profile and not just a single thickness point.
What does “recycled EVA” need to specify?
It should identify the layer, feedstock type, target content, calculation basis, material grade, traceability documents and any certification requirement for the project.
Which component checks matter here?
The brief may include dimensions, profile, hardness, density, resilience, compression behavior, surface quality, bonding and material-document review.
What should you send us first?
The last or footbed outline, 25 mm profile details, size range, recycled-material definition, top-cover and bond requirements, color direction and acceptance methods.
