That said, the Hurricane XLT 2 sandals have a good amount of adjustability, which is good because I find myself tightening or loosening the straps fairly frequently. For how light it feels on foot, the Hurricane XLT 2 is surprisingly stable in rocky, demanding terrain.

In warmer temps it seemed that sweat was a bit of an issue with the insole and my foot would slide around a bit, thus docking a point. And I can say right at the top of this review that the more technical design and shape works well for me.

What's more is the added neoprene cushion in the heel strap which we find helpful in alleviating chafe when wet and aiding in security during climbs. With soft heel-strap padding and a new, modern sole featuring even better traction than ever before the Teva Hurricane XLT2 Sandals are ready to head into the hills! The XLT 2 seems to have gotten rid of this issue and I found it comfortable to keep them on the entire day, from the lake to the trail to camp. Comfortable, lightweight, and in a range of colours, patterns and designs, there is a pair for everyone! The Hurricane XLT 2 sandals are a great choice for light hiking, strutting around town, playing in rivers and lakes, or pretty much any post-hike activity.

For the most part, our testers agree that the Hurricane has above average traction thanks to a sturdy, yet light foundation. The main reason I wear sandals is that it’s just too hot to wear anything else, therefore, I deal with this sweat problem a lot.But, in my humble opinion, the Teva Hurricane XLT 2 should get universal love for the delightfully soft and supportive straps they use to keep your feet secure.

With all footwear, I really need to crank down the tension system, whether it’s laces, straps, BOA, etc. The Hurricane is overall a stable and comfortable shoe for moderate trail use but lacks the precision tune necessary for more intense hiking or trail running. The quick-dry webbing is made from recycled plastic using traceable, verifiable REPREVE polyester yarn by Unifi. The Hurricane collection combines EVA-foam midsoles with rugged Durabrasion Rubber outsoles for enhanced traction in aqueous endeavors, though they're just as nimble on land. After paddling around for about thirty minutes I’d then hop out at the nearest shoreline and hike over to the next lake.The quick dry webbing features a recycled plastic construction with REPREVE polyester yarn by Unifi, while nylon shank stabilises and supports your foot on uneven terrain, these vegan sandals are completed with the Teva branding.

Thankfully, the three independent points of adjustment allow you to get a precise fit no matter what your foot shape is. This model has just been given a comfort upgrade, so it's got soft heel-strap padding and a new, modern sole featuring even better traction than ever before. The insoles are comfortable enough and dry quickly, but lose major points for how they deal with sweat.

The classic Teva has been around for long enough to know that they got something right with their three-strap design. However, the water-friendly webbing and three points of adjustment allowed for a secure fit even after the Hurricane had gotten wet. The classic Teva design utilizes three adjustable straps that run behind the heel and twice over the top of the foot for a secure, intuitive fit. A pair of hiking sandals is an excellent option if you would rather let your feet breathe than put them inside trainers all the time.
