Had these for about two years now and I wear them a fair amount in the summer. They are super comfy. great for walking around town and hiking on easy trails. Not my favorite for water activities as they get pretty slippery when wet. After 2 years the tread it still in great shape but the velcro has stopped sticking :(. Ive tried cleaning it out really well but no success. Hoped they would last longer than 2 seasons, r.i.p

I've purchased these shoes two times and loved them. Great to wear in the water and on day hikes..but both pairs have lost the bottom half. It's ridiculous and sucks since they are so great! I tried glueing them back, but really, you shouldn't have to. First pair lasted ~7 months and the next was 4.

I have other TEVA sandals that are size 8 and fit very well. These were unfortunately too short otherwise good.
The 9 would have been too large so unfortunately I sent them back.

These sandals really would have been perfect if not so overall wide and specifically in the VERY WIDE lower foot/toe area. As I looked down at my foot, I was reminded of how my foot would look on snow shoes. I checked my order to make sure they were not Wide. I tried them with a pair of socks but the socks narrowed that area even more, so the fit was not improved. Disappointing...

I don't love the new layout/design. There seems to be a dip in the front section. Because of this my foot slips out over the front. I have to strap them tighter which is not suitable for me. I wear these often for day hikes and live in them during the summer months. Please see the difference between the design of this model and the one before.

This was a gift for my girlfriend and I had ordered the wrong size and had exchanged them for one size up. Upon them arriving, it was in a different box due to damage and I had gotten the wrong color. She still liked them but I was disappointed to have gotten the wrong color the second time.

Footbed is so comfortable, but the unlined straps rubbed raw spots across my feet. I had to place bandaids across my feet (where the toes join the rest of the foot). That done I was able to walk in them for about an hour without further rubbing.
A beautiful looking shoe, but how about cushioning the straps?

Seems to run a size small. Bands chafe a bit since they're stiff will hopefully soften with wear?

I bought a pair of tevas in the mid-90s. After wearing through all kinds of crazy terrain for a few years, I offered them up to my mom. She JUST threw them away last year (that's almost 30 years old--for shoes!), the soul began to separate. I decided to buy another pair. They're just not the same. They feel cheaper. They're OK, but didn't live up to the standard I expected. They are lighter weight, which I think is good, and perhaps that's why I feel the way I do. The color is pretty.

This is my second pair of Teva sandals. My other ones never wore out, I just wanted something new! I bought these sandals because they are so colorful. They are a different style from my other pair. Right away, I had trouble with blisters. My feet just can't get use to the straps. I think the straps need to be designed differently for my foot's shape!

I love the shoe and this is the second pair that I have owned.however I am extremely disappointed that the strap fabric is so easily snagged and frayed. The shoes look like I have worn them for a year instead of a couple of months.

I have worn another similar brand for years but had to change due to my heel sitting low and causing achilles pain. Hurricane XLT2 sole is flat so that works. It has minimal arch support and I wish it had more. I miss the Tirra style sandal with the old "anatomic footbed". I love that all the straps are adjustable. Overall I like this sandal but the footbed is SO wide since you've made it gender neutral. In case you haven't noticed women's feet are not as wide as men's so why are you sacrificing fit in an attempt to fit all feet with one shoe?? Please make this shoe in women's AND men's sizes. Then I can rate it higher.

I love my old Hurricanes and I really wanted to love the new ones but as one reviewer said the footbed just isn't the same. They have subtly tweaked the design and it just doesn't have the same feel and arch support.

I have 4 pairs of these for 10 years now. The new one doesn't seem to have the same support as they used to. I'll see how comfortable they are in a year.

I have always been a big fan of Tevas/Hurricane but the footbed has changed and I am not a fan of the new Tevas. My old pair had a more rubbery grip and new pair does not. I find that the heel on the new pair has a raised outer band that makes it feel like my shoes are too small whenever I take a step over the raised outer band. New pair also doesn't have the fabric covering the triangle between the top part of the foot and the underside of the straps in the upper foot area. It can pinch a bit. Still comfortable but disappointed.

I love these sandals, but after 1 year + 1 month (just outside zappos's return window!) they fell apart. The bottom of the sole separated from the top of the sole so now I can't walk with them. That said, I'm a mom of young kids and I don't have the energy to find something better, so I admit that I just ordered another pair.
I'd also recommend:
Naturalizer, comfortiva, Taryn rose, fitflop, dansko, bogs

I love how these soles feel on my feet. I love how secure they are. I love how breathable they are and how I can adjust them for whatever I'm doing to a point they almost feel like I'm not wearing shoes. HOWEVER, I do believe the design is flawed where the plastic triangle anchoring the steps straps. This rubs into my inner sole of my foot and causes great pain after x amount of hours. I wish they could cover that up with padding. Otherwise I would give 5 stars

Decent sandals for walking. Good support. Straps are scratchy.

I really loved the shoe, the sole, straps, the colors, everything but.. the metal triangle in from that holds the straps was painful and knew it would cause blisters because there is no padding behind it. So I exchanged it for a similar shoe with padding.

I have tried adjusting all of the straps, but I cannot get the right sandal back strap to stay high enough to clear my heel. It feels like I am going to walk out of the sandal. I think TEVA shortened the bottom strap on the triangle piece that connects the straps that go behind the heel and over the instep. I never had this issue with any other TEVA sandals and I have been wearing them for over 30 years.
