Product Information

The XLT 2 seems to have gotten rid of this issue and I found it comfortable to keep them on the entire day, from the lake to the trail to camp. A one year warranty is fairly standard for shoes, and even a luxury for sandals, so we are happy with this. Teva also offers this model in many brand collaborations, like Snow Peak, but the sandal remains the same. Once the toe and heel straps are adjusted properly, you should only need to fiddle with one piece of velcro to get in or out of the sandal.

The Teva XLT2 Hurricane Sandals are perfect for day and light hiking adventures, crafted with a new modern sole with rugged rubber construction that provides fantastic traction, while a lightweight EVA foam midsole adds extra cushioning for all day comfort. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. While I wouldn’t use this sandal for trekking or heavy duty hiking, I found it was supportive when shouldering a light load and moving through easy-to-moderate terrain. If you like how Tevas fit but can't compromise on traction, we recommend taking a look at the Chaco Z/1 Classic.

This model has just been given a comfort upgrade, so it's got soft heel-strap padding and a new, modern sole featuring even better traction than ever before. Some of our testers think that the molded plastic holding the webbing in place is positioned in an unfortunate spot for their knobby ankles and toes.

It was an average performer on wet terrain tests, which came as a surprise considering that it was designed to excel in watersports. I did find that there were a few bothersome pressure points, most notably on the forefoot near the pinky. And while it may be most comfortable at cruising speeds, it won't back down from a challenge either.The straps and webbing are built solidly and I’ve found them to be comfortable, the heel especially. Unlike my other Teva sandals, the ones I spent most of the heatwave that was last summer in, these ones have a moulded footbed designed to be more supportive for the foot and provide better comfort on the trail. The quick-dry webbing is made from recycled plastic using traceable, verifiable REPREVE polyester yarn by Unifi. The outsole features decently deep treads set in firm rubber, though it's not quite as sticky as we've seen on others—possibly because it is made from non-marking rubber (bonus if you plan to get nautical).

During our time in the Grand Mesa, I racked up miles while cruising hiking trails to find a specific spot to use my fly rod, used the Hurricane XLT 2 as my primary shoes for packrafting — a real tricky sport for most footwear — and they served as my “I have to pee and it’s the middle of the night and I don’t want to put on real shoes!The Hurricane is overall a stable and comfortable shoe for moderate trail use but lacks the precision tune necessary for more intense hiking or trail running. We gave the iconic Hurricane XLT a fresh comfort upgrade, outfitting it with soft heel-strap padding and a new, modern sole featuring even better traction than ever before. During my time testing the Hurricane XLT 2, I realized it was a winner during the the Grand Mesa National Forest trip. I’m a mountain runner, entrepreneur, mountain lover, and enthusiast for just about all things outdoors.
