Teva Women's Hurricane Xlt2 W's Ankle Strap Sandals, 12 UK

Product Information

I actually own a (now-defunct) pair of the original Hurricane XLTs, and was stoked to try see what kind of updates the line received.

While it does have an inclination towards watersports, we feel both prepared and stylish in the Hurricane. The Teva Hurricane XLT 2 Sandals in Toro Multi have a quick-dry webbing made from verifiable REPREVE polyester yarn by Unifi which supports your foot and is robust.

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! If, though, you're willing to spend a bit more, the Bedrock Cairn Adventure provides higher performance with a lower profile that transitions from trail to town more convincingly.

This is Teva’s in-house sole, and the traction is greatly improved from previous versions of the Hurricane.

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.

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. 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. A kids' version of the classic Teva sandal; very easy for kids to get on and off and comfortable to wear. A versatile summer staple designed with the next generation in mind, the Hurricane XLT2 Upcycle enlists soft, heel-strap padding and a rugged rubber sole that is ready to roam.

I’ve docked it one point due to a bit of the insole melting onto my foot on the warmest day I wore them. Thankfully, the three independent points of adjustment allow you to get a precise fit no matter what your foot shape is. It’s sprinkled with lakes, which provided an opportunity to accurately test the water capabilities of the Hurricane XLT 2.

My favorite thing about these sandals has been their ability to perform when wet, and then dry out quickly. Overall we like the standard Teva Hurricane XLT 2 model the best, or the Cross Strap if you need that support. I want to inspire you to make the most of your time by encouraging you to try new things and have a good time on your journey through life. During our time in the Grand Mesa, I racked up miles while cruising hiking trails to find a specific spot to use my fly rod, used the Hurricane XLT 2 as my primary shoes for packrafting — a real tricky sport for most footwear — and they served as my “I have to pee and it’s the middle of the night and I don’t want to put on real shoes!After paddling around for about thirty minutes I’d then hop out at the nearest shoreline and hike over to the next lake. Though we don't have any qualms with the original, the Hurricane XLT 2 provides a better experience due to some refreshing upgrades from the original. It surprised me because the same insoles deal with water quite well, but for some reason the sweat seems to be completely different. While it doesn't shine in any particular area, the Hurricane XLT 2 is a very steady and reliable performer.
