Teva Men's Hurricane XLT2 Sport Sandal

These Teva Hurricane sandals are very good shoes. The construction is durable with the straps going all the way under and through the center, connecting to the other end. They're very comfortable and adjust nicely to fit. I have tried other brands that have big pillow foot beds but they never last and they're not any more comfy than these things.

​I bought these sandals looking for something a bit tougher than my usual summer footwear, and they have absolutely blown away my expectations. These aren't just sandals; they're tanks for your feet. I've put them through serious tests this year, and they haven't just survived—they've excelled. ​Conquering the Trails of Maine ​My first major test was a week of rugged hiking in the mountains and forests of Maine. We faced everything from slick, moss-covered rocks and muddy creek crossings to uneven root systems. The traction on these is phenomenal; I never once felt unstable, even when traversing wet terrain. The quick-drying material meant that after every crossing, my feet were comfortable again within minutes, preventing the chafing and blisters that usually plague me with damp shoes. They handled miles of varied, tough terrain with the support and stability of a lightweight boot. ​The Mackinac Bridge Marathon ​The true test of long-distance comfort came when I wore these sandals to walk the full length of the Mackinac Bridge—nearly five miles of straight pavement. I expected my feet to ache, but the cushioning and arch support were incredible. They felt lightweight and springy, making the long trek across the famous bridge completely comfortable. It proved that they are just as capable on flat, hard surfaces as they are on rocky mountain paths. ​Unbeatable Versatility ​Beyond those epic trips, these sandals have become my default shoe for virtually every other activity: ​Water Sports: Perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding, offering great grip and zero fear of getting soaked. ​Everyday Wear: They're comfortable enough for long dog walks, gardening, and running errands. ​Travel: Easy to slip on and off at airport security, and they pack down flat, making them an ideal travel shoe that can replace two or three pairs of footwear. ​If you are looking for a sandal that can truly do it all—from crossing the Great Lakes to navigating challenging wilderness—look no further. These are durable, supremely comfortable, and easily the best outdoor footwear investment I have ever made.

Comparing the this sandal (TEVA Men's Hurricane Xlt2 Sandals) with the Hurricane drift. This shoe is currently slightly more expensive between the two and understandably so. First of all, my son is a lifeguard and spends a lot of time in shallow water, his crocs banged up his feet with blisters on his first day of the summer, perhaps they are too tight. I ordered these two pairs of sandals to choose one to wear instead as they look like they have better support for the sole of the foot when standing all day and fit closer to the foot so there shouldn’t be so much movement or friction. Hurricane (not this shoe) This Sandal is the one on the left on the picture, it is made out of a rubber material similar to crocs but thicker. The strap across the ankle has a more flexible feel to the material than the rest of the shoe, for comfort and durability. You cannot adjust the fit of the straps so if the strap is too tight or too loose, it can’t be adjusted. He finds the shoe very comfortable. Both shoes have the same sole in terms of size, fit and even treads, but this shoe is made of rubber so is much lighter. Completely waterproof. Hurricane XIt2 (this shoe). This is the shoe being reviewed here and the one on the right and the one by itself. This shoe has a heavier duty rubber sole, making is a little heavier but still light. The straps are typical of Teva sandals, more like a stiff waterproof fabric feel and every strap adjusts with velco. This allows a custom fit but my son finds parts of the Velcro digs in unless you have the perfect lined up seal. This shoe also has a comfort padded strap at the heal. More cumbersome to get on with the Velcro long strap. Verdict For my son’s lifeguard needs or a water/beach shoe we would pick the Hurricane rubber shoe. For hiking or wading through a river I’d pick this shoe, Hurricane XIt2 has more of a hiking weight and feel to the sole and the adjustable straps are helpful for that use. For my son, the less expensive rubber shoe is the clear winner. More comfortable and less fussy and nothing to dry on it. I will also be putting this review on the other shoe reviews with a close up picture of that shoe. In terms of fit, it’s quite a wide fit and a typical size 9. Both soles are the same size and in each design other than material. Both great sandals, for slightly different needs although both would work in water. Hope this helps someone out.

I have had these Tevas for 5 years! Used them for summer walks, pool time, water activities and they have held up through it all. Finally ordering a new pair because now the ball of the foot grip is beginning to wear down. They break in so well that they became my go to warm weather shoe. Highly recommend!

Good sandal, more comfy than the Teva water sandal. Used it for 2 years a few times a week. Alas, when I took them to the Balkans, the sandals didn't handle balkan rocks and hot concrete, and became unglued.

Well, I would never think I would become a Teva sandals fan. Never wore sandals before, nor flip flops, but only sports shoes. I always had prejudice opinion about sandals because they looked odd., nerdy and out of place. I never understood why people would wear these shoes, but heck, I changed my mind. It was when I was in shoe store and I decided to try them on out of curiosity – why do people wear them? First, I tried the Teva Terra fi 4 model. After walking a few steps inside the shoe store, I completely changed my mind and became an avid Teva sandals man. Yes, they still look odd, the sole is bulky and quite nerdy, but when you put them on and walk with them, the sandals do not feel as they look. They are so comfortable, the sole Is so soft and you do not feel the straps because they are padded. You need to try them out in order to understand this. The sandals do not feel like you are wearing sandals, unless you are looking at your feet, and I decide that I did not care about their looks or what would other would think of them and me wearing them. I understand now why people wear them, so I decide to buy the Terra fi 4 (blue size 9) that were at a discount at the shoe store. I can recommend to anyone who hesitates about Teva sandals to try on first the Teva Terra fi 4 model and you will never go back to wearing shoes in the summer. They cost more than other Teva models, but if you can find them at a discount, they worth any penny. Second, I tried the Hurricane XLT2 model. This model does not have a padded straps, they don’t have a bulky sole, and the sole is not soft as the Terra fi 4 model. They do feel different on the feet, but again when you put them on and walk with them, the sandals do not feel as they look (odd and nerdy) but a proper summer open shoe and you can forget after a while that you are wearing sandals on your feet. Even for the Hurricane XLT2 model, I can recommend to anyone who hesitates about Teva sandals to try them on and you will never go back to wearing shoes in the summer. Now I am thinking that after my good experience with these 2 models that they should be more popular and common in the summer. I bought the Hurricane XLT2 from Amazon after I found them in a discount (brown, size 9). If you are convinced, try first the Terra fi 4 (i think today there is a newer model - Terra fo 5 universal) they will win your heart, but the e Hurricane XLT2 will also suffice for those who would like a less bulkier sole and less expensive sandals. With Teva you can't go wrong.

I bought a total of four pair of sandals before a major trip that was going to include a lot of walking. This is the pair that ended up on my feet for 90% of the trip. Other sandals can be a little brutal to the top of your foot or your ankles or your heel or something when worn for extended hikes and such. Not these. They are durable and incredibly comfortable

I purchased the Teva Men’s Hurricane XLT2 Sandals and decided to size down slightly from my usual 10.5 sneakers to a size 10—and it turned out to be a perfect fit. The sandals are lightweight yet supportive, with straps that hold the foot securely without causing discomfort, even on long days. The standout feature for me has been the excellent traction. They grip well and don’t slip easily, which gave me confidence even while hiking in Yosemite. For a sandal, that level of slip-resistance on rough terrain is impressive. Overall, the Hurricane XLT2 strikes a great balance between comfort, durability, and functionality. Whether for casual wear or outdoor adventures, it’s a reliable, versatile sandal that I’d highly recommend.

Lo ammetto: non conoscevo questa marca prima di iniziare a cercare sandali su Amazon. Che dire: belli, comodi, perfetti per tutte le occasioni. Dal mare alla montagna si adattano perfettamente alle varie situazioni. Plantare ottimo, buono il grip.

Bellissimi, colorati e stracomodi. È la prima volta che utilizzo questo brand, da sempre ho usato birkenstock e Vibram. Sono leggerissimi e pratici, stanno bene su tutto. Saranno i miei compagni di passeggiata preferiti appena le temperature lo permetteranno. Sto già adocchiando un secondo modello.

Produto que já sou usuário e de boa qualidade.

¡Ay, Virgen Santísima, que me da algo cuando leo "Hurricane"! ¿Pero qué nombre es ese para unas sandalias? ¡Si parecen de película americana! Como yo siempre digo: de músico, poeta y loco, todos tenemos un poco, pero los americanos se pasan tres pueblos con los nombres. Mira, yo estas sandalias se las compré a mi Antoñito para cuando va de aventuras con Amelia y los niños. Porque claro, mi nuera la vegana no para de decir que hay que "conectar con la naturaleza" y "vivir experiencias auténticas"... ¡Pero bueno, si experiencias auténticas teníamos nosotros cuando íbamos a por setas al monte con mis alpargatas de toda la vida! Pero reconozco que estas Teva (que nombre más raro, ¿será de alguna tribu?) están requetebién hechas. Avelino dice que tienen más agarre que él cuando ve el fútbol en el sofá, ¡y eso ya es decir! Que ayer se las probó para ir al Mercadona y casi se queda pegado al suelo del parking. LO BUENO: Aguantan más que mi paciencia cuando Amelia me explica los beneficios del quinoa La correa del tobillo ajusta mejor que los consejos que no me piden Son más resistentes que mi matrimonio (¡35 años, hija, que no es poco!) Para senderos rocosos van de lujo, como dice Paca la carnicera: "¡Más agarraeras que una lapa!" LO MENOS BUENO: Que son muy deportivas para ir a misa los domingos Mi Antoñito ahora se cree que es Bear Grylls y quiere ir a acampar... ¡a los 45 años! Son tan cómodas que Avelino se queda dormido con ellas puestas viendo la tele Como dice Manolo el pescadero: "Pepa, el buen calzado es como el buen pescado: se nota a primera vista." Y estas, aunque tengan nombre de huracán americano, están hechas para durar más que los buenos propósitos de Año Nuevo. VEREDICTO FINAL: Si tus hijos se han vuelto ecoadventureros como los míos, cómpraselas. Que al menos cuando vayan a "conectar con Gaia" (¡mira tú que palabras usa Amelia!), no se destrocen los pies. Que bastante sufren los padres viendo como sus hijos se vuelven hippies a los 45. P.D.: Mi nieta dice que son "muy molonas". A saber qué significará eso, pero viniendo de una generación que dice "lit" por todo, supongo que es bueno. ¡En fin, que le voy a hacer, así es la vida! 🏔️👡
