The Tembea is rig footwear's first active-line hiking shoe, developed over four years with repeated prototyping to balance cushioning and stability. The heel delivers enhanced shock absorption at footstrike, while the forefoot is tuned for stability during toe-off. Built with eVent fabric for full waterproofing and a Vibram Wrap-Tec sole on this concept version, the shoe is designed to grip varied terrain while keeping weight low. Note: this concept model is not recommended for actual hiking or mountaineering use.
