Customer Reviews Teva Hurricane Xlt2

Some reviews have remarked about how the tevas seem to run wide and yes they are true. I have narrow feet so these shoes dwarfed my feet at the front.

Prefer bindings on outside of sole-not ontop of sole

I like the look for this kind of sandal, and the size was fine, though there was only a little arch support. My problem was they are very stiff so I felt they were not comfortable to walk around in and one of the straps was kind of rubbing my toe. I thought that might lead to a blister, so I went with a different style of Teva.

The front strap is positioned so far back on the foot that my foot was sliding forward, off the front edge of the sandal, even with the ankle strap reasonably snug. Sadly, I had to return them.

The soul of this sandal is quite large. There is generous border beyond your foot, especially around the front half of the foot. So even though the sandal was very comfortable, I didn’t like the look at all and thought it might make me more likely to stumble.

Uncomfortable along outside of both feet, rather heavy. Style is what I was looking for but not comfortable to me.

I have previous versions of the Hurricane. I wore them for years, mostly at our house on a lake, whenever on the beach, in the water, or on a boat, and ordered these to replace a pair that was worn out with the sole separating from the base after years of gallant performance. The shape changed dramatically in this version. The ball of my foot is fairly wide, although not wide enough to order "wide" sizes, and these sandals were wide on my foot. The outside curve of the previous version was tapered from the maximum width at the base of the toes to above the first toe, while this version is very rounded to remind me, as a previous reviewer noted, of clown shoes and make me concerned about tripping. The front strapping also does not cross my foot in a location to be as secure. I returned these and purchased the Teva Tirra, which is a much better fit, with more secure strapping, better arch, trimmer profile around the toes, and better looking so I can also wear them out to more places. The Tirra also seems to have a more contoured foot bed and better roll when walking. One thing the Tirra is lacking compared to the Hurricane is an adjustable back heel strap, but that hasn't been a problem in feeling secure on my foot. Depending on your individual foot shape, though, the Hurricane XLT2 may work for you.

I have very fond memories of my various Tevas over the years, but returned these. The reason was that the triangle holding the intersection of the straps on the top outside of the foot no longer has a fabric backing, and the plastic triangle rubbed. I still have my 25-year-old Tevas.

I really need a new pair of sandals for walking and Teva footwear has always fit just great. I loved the look of these sandals and know they have at least SOME arch support. But when I ordered my regular size 10 they fit like my mom bought them for me to "grow into." They were at least 3/4" (or more) too long and 1/2" too wide. So OK: I love zappos so I just ordered the next size down. Now my toes were hanging off the end. This is the first time I've had a fit problem with ANY Teva footwear (shoes, boots, sandals). Woe is me. I sent both pairs back. :(

The sandals felt great at first when I tried them on, but after wearing them for five days on the Big Island, they gave me blisters on multiple parts of my feet, especially around my bunions. The straps were very stiff, and while they may need time to break in, the break-in period is extremely uncomfortable.

I have been a Teva devotee for many years. I used to have a choice of medium and wide. I always wore wide. They no longer offer this choice. I purchased the shoes in the only width-regular. The straps needed to be tightened so much that there was an inch of strap hanging in the toe area. They still slipped around and were very uncomfortable. No longer a Teva fan!
