They were comfortable on my feet. Wore them almost daily for one summer, then the bottom part of the sole came off. It may have been a coincidence, but it happened after I wore them in the water. I will look for one with a solid sole next time.

Overall these shoes were comfortable, but I did experience the same almost pinching sensation that other reviewers felt by the groove under the ball under the foot. It was noticeable enough that I decided to ultimately decided to return the sandals, unfortunately. My husband bought the same sandal and the groove did not bother him, however.

The sandal itself is made well and comfortable. I purchased them recently for a trip where we would be walking a lot in the heat. I am a 9 in all shoes but these seemed a little big on one foot and HUGE on the other. Granted, I have a half size difference in each foot which makes it fun but usually a 9 is fine. I ended up getting blisters on each foot as the strap laid right on my foot where the big toe stems from. I was super sad as the remainder of my trip was band aids and limping. This wasn't entirely the shoes flawed design and could have been that they were just too big. If they had HALF sizes, an 8.5 would have been perfect but I think and 8 which is the next size down may have been too small.

I love the blue color of these sandals. The size was right for me but I did not like the extra length in the toe box, seemed excessive. The arch support was good, it is a nice lightweight sandal but I am returning them. There is a gap line where the ball of the foot meets the shoe. I am assuming this is there so the shoes gives and will not split. Unfortunately, each time I took a step I could feel a slight pinch on the ball of my foot, weird design. I will look for another style of Teva as they are great shoes!

I think these shoes are comfortable and good for wide feet, but I find that the fabric on the straps rubs onto my skin on the side of the ball of my foot and also the ankle. I had a pair of tevas that aren't being sold anymore that are soooo comfortable but they are more of a rubber smooth feeling than the fabric straps on these sandals. I hope my feet get used to it otherwise I can't wear these for too long. It sucks because I like the style a lot.

I really loved my original Tevas 'back in the day' so ordered a pair of these. The fit and quality were good, but this style didn't work for me - the footbed stuck out too far on the sides of the shoe for my liking. Sent them back and exchanged for the 'original' Teva style.

I wanted to love these but they were very comfortable and I didn't think they'd work for what I needed them for (river trips!)
As another reviewer noted, there is a seam across the footbed that punches the bottom of your foot. I couldn't justify keeping them because of this.

I love the adjustable straps so they fit my feet nice and tight however, one of the strap connectors rub against my foot and leave blisters. The shoe is pretty durable while hiking but if you get them wet you will be sliding every where, they don't have much grip on the bottoms.

I wear Tevas constantly, winter and summer in Colorado, and love having different styles and colors. This particular sandal floor makes my feet sweat. Is it a different composition?

I really like the shoes and they fell mostly secure on my feet, which is what I wanted after a broken ankle. I just wish they had 1/2 sizes. I'm normally a 7.5 and I had to order 8's and one shoe fits my right foot fine but my left foot always feels loose, not matter how much I adjust. So overall they are ok but I don't know if I will buy again. Also very little arch support. I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and my arches kill me after wearing these for a day.

These used to be better-made. The footbed is now too soft and mushy, with not enough arch support, leading to foot fatigue. The footbeds used to be sturdier and more comfortable. The straps aren't long enough for wide feet, so there's that awful velcro exposed, catching on everything. They need to make matching belts and possibly other matching accessories. There's virtually no way to get a belt to match these shoes. The nylon webbing designs are pretty much all lame, and make you look like a left-wing-nut. For the obscene price, these are disappointing.

The only problem I had was when I wore the sandal on the beach. It is perfect all other times.

I love the color and it was comfortable to wear once the straps were tightened correctly. It is cushy and gave a bit of a bounce to my step.
Despite the sole being the right size for my foot, the straps for the heel were too long. I'm using less than 50% of the Velcro, the rest of the strap hanging off into the air. Also, the triangle strap connector located at the little toes ribs against the toes, causing blisters over time. Since I've only had them for a few weeks and have only gone on a few hikes with them, I don't know if it takes an adjustment (or callousing) period to prevent the pain and rubbing of the triangle piece against the little toes. I'll continue to wear these hiking for now, but they may be relegated to short hikes or walking around town.
Also, they can be a bit slippery when wet.

This style just isn't for me. I have to tighten all the straps a lot in order to keep my foot from sliding forward and that makes them uncomfortable especially around the toes.

I loved the multi colors, but unfortunately they no longer have the color I wanted. I have chosen another as I want to see if these offer more support than the original Tevas. Am very disappointed that my color choice is no longer available. .

The shoe looks great and fits great all except for the crease that goes across the ball of the foot area. The line on that part of the sole hurt my foot every time I walked on it, to the point that I just had to return them. Super sad about it. If you can stand to deal with the crease then its an awesome shoe!

I count on my old Hurricanes for balance and grip when working on our hilly 1/2 acre. The new Hurricane XLT2 doesn't even come close. It's too wide to tighten the front without the velcro hanging over the edge of the shoe...Not the look I was going for...And, I don't have wide feet.

Quality over time has changed from the last ones I bought. These do not look or feel the same.

I really wanted these to work, but as someone has has chronic back issues and current foot pain, these sandals just didn't offer enough support to justify the cost. I also worried that they wouldn't hold up well/be well suited to the outdoor activities I do regularly.

Either there's too much room in front before strap or sole is thin enough that it separates a little from my foot and can cause me to stumble if not careful. Had this problem with my first super cheap Tevas. My last pair had more support and lasted well but choices were limited this time.

I really wanted to love these Tevas. I've been trying to replace an old pair from years ago, which I absolutely love. Unfortunately, Teva keeps making changes to its sandals and these changes are not always for the better. These Hurricane XLT2's would have been perfect for me except for one problem: on the footbed, right at the ball of the foot, there are two grooves. These grooves pinch the sole of my foot when walking, making these shoes very uncomfortable for me. I wish that Teva would bring back some of the older footbed styles, or at least get rid of these grooves at the ball of the foot. I'm going to try the leather Terra Fi Lites, since that footbed appears to not have those horrible grooves....fingers crossed!

Suggest you go back to original Teva sandals for a look at construction. Padded toe connection, soft straps. And rubber, not synthetic soles.

I was really hoping to love the Teva Hurricane XLT2...but it was not to be. I don't understand why Teva keeps changing the design of sandals that worked for ones that are nowhere near as comfortable. I did like that the Hurricane XLT2 was not as wide in the toe area as a lot of the newer Teva sandals -- most of them are now ridiculously wide and stupid-looking. Who needs an extra half inch of footbed around your toes??? Unfortunately, the footbed of the Hurricane XLT2's has this funny little "line" cutout that is right under the ball of the foot and pinches like crazy when you walk. UGH. If it wasn't for that, I would have kept these since the Hurricane XLT2 has come the closest to the fit and comfort of my beloved original Tevas.
