Customer Reviews Teva Hurricane Xlt2

Great colors, very cushiony soles. Straps are a little scratchy, but I think they'll soften up over time.

I had high hopes for these sandals because I grew up loving and wearing the hell out of my original tevas. I wear a size 6 in sandals, running shoes and heels. I have a neutral arch and wide toe box. I took these sandals with me to Hawaii to wear throughout the day. Once my feet got hot, the sweat on the footbed started to cause rubbing under my arch and big toe which caused a big, watery, blister. I kept adjusting the straps but that made it worse and started to cut off circulation to my pinky toes. My blister got worse and popped… couldn’t enjoy the pool or ocean water for a few days during my vacation in Hawaii. Most comfortable part of the sandal is the neoprene pad behind the heel.

I ordered a 7 and 8 since I believe the sizing has changed since I last purchased Teva brand sandals. I was correct- I used to wear an 8 but the sandals are now wider in the toe box as well as longer. The 8 had about an inch of extra room at the toe. That is even with my feet increasing by 1/2 a size over the years. I have wide feet (average heel size) but these are almost too wide. I will keep them since overall they’re comfortable. The heels are nicely thick and springy but not too springy. I do wish the straps were about 1 1/2” inches longer - the black Velcro on them is exposed a bit more than I want. I don’t have particularly big feet so it’s a little weird that they don’t cover more area. That makes me think it’s going to collect lint, as well as just interrupts the color way. I am happy with them as I lost my most recent pair and needed to replace them. I was wearing my 22 year old Tevas which have stiffened with age (like myself) and the Velcro had almost given up. These are definitely more comfortable than those! Love the colors too, although I wish the women’s came in the same beautiful evergreen color as the men’s, I would have ordered those too.

Nice sandals but straps around big toe hurt.

I wish these felt just a little better on my feet. I love the bright colors of the pair I had and they were narrow enough for my AA width foot, despite the soles being pretty wide. I decided against them because it felt like it would take some extra time to break in and that, though the shoes fit, I looked a little ridiculous wearing shoes with such wide soles.

My first pair of tevas and they are like walking on clouds! I have a wide foot with a low arch and this is a perfect alternative to wearing unsupportive sandals. I am a 9 in running shoes and was debating between sizes. The 9 provides a lot more room for my toes to stretch out than the size 8.

I returned these because the straps just felt super scratchy to me. Walking in them left me with red spots at the points on my foot where there was contact, especially the points where straps connect to straps... strap intersections, so to speak. Meanwhile, my son got a pair of mens of the same shoe that he loves. So if you are like me and super sensitive to scratchy things, these may not work for you. But they look great and IMO are a great value for the price, it's hard to find any sandal with arch support under $100!

wore them for the first time walking around the city for about 4 hours - was able to adjust the straps easily and they felt great! hoping they won’t get too dirty with the lighter beige color.

Seemed to be good quality shoe and liked design. Problem was I have wide feet and straps in front rubbed.

These are nice shoes, however one part of the heel/ankle strap rubbed under the ankle bone.

I usually can not wear Teva shoes... not exactly sure why. But I can not wear many brands - wide, no arch foot. BUT every so often I just get the itch to try Teva's. I will keep these ones. I was hoping they would not require 'breaking in' but they will. No comfy out of the box like some - but sturdy and worth the wait for me. Plus, they go with everything! HA! They're a 'get it'!
