TEVA signs up as a major sponsor for 2012

Teva is hooking up 4 lucky people with new shoes at this years Citroen Extreme Race!
2x ladies & 2x mens Teva Fuse ION’s

Check out the philosophy behind this shoe:

“We spend an awful lot of time around people that live for adventure. When we asked them for the biggest problem with high-performance shoes, we kept hearing the same one: "I can't wear them to the bar." So, what'd we do? We designed a shoe that they would gladly wear to the bar, then we figured out a way to make it the highest performing water shoe ever built. No big deal.”


Register now to be in the running for a pair of these bad boys as well as your free event singlet!!
