Teva Men's M Hurricane Xlt2 Sandal

This is the second pair of Teva’s I’ve owned. I started buying them because I can’t water the traditional flip flops or sliders because they always slide off my feet. Teva’s stay on my feet and offer superb comfort while still being rugged enough to walk through a rocky river bed. This pair is super lightweight and very comfortable. I’ll continue to buy this brand. Love em.

Really nice sandals. Look good, fit good and feel good. My Chacos did not hav velcro straps so I hope they hold up to the beach sand, ect.

Love these

Still one of the better sandals, but quality not as good as before. A bit overpriced considering the slipping quality. Soles don’t hold up as well as older Tevas.

Comparing the this sandal (TEVA Men's Hurricane Xlt2 Sandals) with the Hurricane drift. This shoe is currently slightly more expensive between the two and understandably so. First of all, my son is a lifeguard and spends a lot of time in shallow water, his crocs banged up his feet with blisters on his first day of the summer, perhaps they are too tight. I ordered these two pairs of sandals to choose one to wear instead as they look like they have better support for the sole of the foot when standing all day and fit closer to the foot so there shouldn’t be so much movement or friction.Hurricane (not this shoe)This Sandal is the one on the left on the picture, it is made out of a rubber material similar to crocs but thicker. The strap across the ankle has a more flexible feel to the material than the rest of the shoe, for comfort and durability. You cannot adjust the fit of the straps so if the strap is too tight or too loose, it can’t be adjusted. He finds the shoe very comfortable. Both shoes have the same sole in terms of size, fit and even treads, but this shoe is made of rubber so is much lighter. Completely waterproof.Hurricane XIt2 (this shoe).This is the shoe being reviewed here and the one on the right and the one by itself. This shoe has a heavier duty rubber sole, making is a little heavier but still light. The straps are typical of Teva sandals, more like a stiff waterproof fabric feel and every strap adjusts with velco. This allows a custom fit but my son finds parts of the Velcro digs in unless you have the perfect lined up seal. This shoe also has a comfort padded strap at the heal. More cumbersome to get on with the Velcro long strap.VerdictFor my son’s lifeguard needs or a water/beach shoe we would pick the Hurricane rubber shoe. For hiking or wading through a river I’d pick this shoe, Hurricane XIt2 has more of a hiking weight and feel to the sole and the adjustable straps are helpful for that use.For my son, the less expensive rubber shoe is the clear winner. More comfortable and less fussy and nothing to dry on it. I will also be putting this review on the other shoe reviews with a close up picture of that shoe. In terms of fit, it’s quite a wide fit and a typical size 9. Both soles are the same size and in each design other than material. Both great sandals, for slightly different needs although both would work in water. Hope this helps someone out.

I've been a sandal skeptic, and from my time in the Sahara I've had other sandals wear out quickly and have thorns poke through the bottoms. I heard from a friend that he's a big Teva fan, so I ordered these sandals and gave them a shot. I ordered a pair 4 years ago, and ordered another pair 3 years ago as an anticipated replacement (Amazon doesn't deliver to the Sahara yet).I have yet to replace my original pair, and boy can I tell you that I'm impressed. In the US I took them hiking from national park to national park, from Haleakala in Hawaii to Raineer in Washington to Big Bend in Texas to Voyageurs in Minnesota and several in between. I took them hiking to the Alps in Switzerland and the Pyrenees in France, wearing them everyday in the summer. Then I have been wearing them every single day in the Sahara desert, and let me tell you that this environment is not friendly on sandals. Most people here replace their sandals every 3-6 months, and my Teva's are 4 years and counting!At the time when I bought these, Teva did not offer any open-backed sandals, so I cut off the back strap as an experiment. I'm happy to say that that hasn't affected the functionality at all as I walk or hike, and now I can kick them off so much easier (Teva has since come out with open-backed sandals).For everyday use, they're incredibly comfortable. I'm not afraid to take them into the shower area, and they dry off really fast. For hiking, even with the backs cut off I'm still very comfortable doing normal hiking paths. And before I cut the backs off, I was doing bouldering and scrambling without a problem! The only single complaint I could have is the farmer's tan that I get across my feet - alas, Teva is yet to invent tanline-less feature yet ;)

I hadn’t worn a pair of Teva sandals since I was a kid, but I finally reached a point in life where I stopped caring about what others think and dove in for comfort. The comfort level of these Tevas is unmatched, comparable to the dozens of closed-toe shoes I own.I recently took them on a hike, and after a few miles, my feet felt completely fine with no pain, no blisters, just pure comfort. (Okay, maybe some blisters since these feet haven’t seen sunlight in years.) If you’re someone who loves to let your toes breathe while still having great support, I highly recommend giving these a try. Free the toes, and enjoy the adventure!

I’ve had Teva sandals before and I like them. I hoped to go wet wade fishing with these hurricane model but the soles don’t grip the river bottom at all. I would have been better with some old sneakers.
