Customer Reviews Teva Hurricane XLT

I bought these to replace a pair of Tevas that were a decade old. Seems they've cheapened them over the years - the straps are no longer covered with a smooth material (meaning the rough canvas is not as comfortable against your foot) and the strap holders are much smaller and lower making more of that rough canvas sit against your foot. These are not as comfortable as the Tevas I bought 10 years ago but I will keep them as they are still better than other Teva-like shoes. The sole is still super-comfortable and the adjustability of these is awesome. Also, I am a size 9.5. As I did ten years ago, I originally bought a size 10 and I was falling out of them. They were huge. The 9's that I exchanged them for are just barely the correct size so if you are between sizes, consider ordered down, not up as is usually recommended. These 9's are basically the same size as the 10's I bought ten years ago so if you haven't bought Tevas in a while, consider this bit of info when making your purchase. Ten years ago I would have rated these 5-overall, 5-comfort, 4-style. These new ones are really 4-overall, 3.5-comfort, 4-style.

The Teva Hurricane XLT is an okay sandal. If I were to buy a replacement, it would be a more expensive model that Teva offers. The Hurricane feels a bit flimsy compared to my previous pair and just doesn't feel as comfortable. They are okay, just not as good as I expected. Zappos' service is excellent.

I bought these for my husband. He really liked them but they were too big. He normally wears a 10 but I'll be returning these and trying a size 9.

I've worn Tevas for 20 plus years. I love them for summer wear, traveling and walking in the rain. Much better than flip flops if you are going to walk any distance--better support--and, you can run I'm them if you have to.

Arrived only a couple of days after I placed the order, seems well made and are very comfortable.
