I had a few moments of hesitation around camp while downclimbing some boulders to find the perfect spot for lunch, but traction was excellent and the three-point strap system kept me secure. I’m not sure why these aren’t offered in half sizes, so I imagine that they won’t grant the perfect fit to everybody, but they sure did for me! We use marketing, analytical and functional cookies as well as similar technologies to give you the best experience.The straps and webbing are built solidly and I’ve found them to be comfortable, the heel especially. While it doesn't offer quite the same performance as some high-end models, the XLT 2 is a very capable and resilient sandal with a straightforward design. I did find that there were a few bothersome pressure points, most notably on the forefoot near the pinky. This is a personal preference, and we found the cross strap provided a bit more support during upward movement. For how light it feels on foot, the Hurricane XLT 2 is surprisingly stable in rocky, demanding terrain.

Teva also offers this model in many brand collaborations, like Snow Peak, but the sandal remains the same. 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 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. 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. The Teva Hurricane XLT 2 is a classic three-strap sandal that offers a few comfort and performance upgrades when compared to the original Hurricane.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. The quick-drying webbing is a blend of polyester, nylon, and recycled PET and features a neoprene cushioned heel pad that eliminates hot-spots. And I can say right at the top of this review that the more technical design and shape works well for me.
