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. Made from EVA-foam, the insole requires no break-in period for your feet to feel comfortable and secure. 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.

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 used my previous Hurricane XLTs in a similar fashion but found that traction when wet was greatly impaired and the sandal itself felt like walking on a wet washcloth. 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. I’m based in beautiful Pagosa Springs, Colorado at the foot of the incredibly rugged San Juan Mountains.But whether or not you're already a fan of the brand, we encourage you not to overlook this sleeper of a sandal. 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. 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! For the most part, our testers agree that the Hurricane has above average traction thanks to a sturdy, yet light foundation. I love the super simple look of my old Teva Original Universal, and less like the look of these ones, but this version do certainly offer more support under the foot.

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. During my time testing the Hurricane XLT 2, I realized it was a winner during the the Grand Mesa National Forest trip.

The Teva Hurricane XLT 2 sandals won’t break the bank, will perform in almost every scenario, and do their best to distance you from that AARP card. The water-ready polyester webbing of the Hurricane XLT 2 stands up to the elements and dries quickly after getting wet, making these the perfect summer shoes for kids who are always in and out of the water and like to scrabble over slippery rocks. 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.

It surprised me because the same insoles deal with water quite well, but for some reason the sweat seems to be completely different. Now outfitted with a soft Unifi Repreve polyester heel-strap with injection-molded ends for easy grip and adjustability, a robust EVA midsole footbed and a rugged Durabrasion rubber outsole for increased durability and better traction than ever before, it's the perfect travel companion for hikes in the hills or days by the beach. 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. Comfortable, lightweight, and in a range of colours, patterns and designs, there is a pair for everyone!Thankfully, the three independent points of adjustment allow you to get a precise fit no matter what your foot shape is. From street to peak, our durable performance sandals are specially crafted to go wherever you want to go. I’m a mountain runner, entrepreneur, mountain lover, and enthusiast for just about all things outdoors. 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 Teva Hurricane XLT line is a time-honored classic when it comes to open-toe, heavily-webbed active sandals.
