Full details
The Teva Hurricane XLT2 is an iconic, highly versatile sport sandal designed for outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable traction and comfort during day or light hikes. Constructed from durable, quick-drying REPREVE recycled polyester webbing and supported by a robust EVA midsole, this sandal is built to withstand rugged terrain while remaining environmentally conscious. While its performance is excellent for trails and water-based activities, users should note that the aggressive tread is specifically optimized for hiking, which may feel slightly rigid compared to casual beach-only flip-flops.

FAQs
Are these sandals vegan-friendly?
Yes, the Hurricane XLT2 is constructed using synthetic and recycled materials, making them completely vegan-friendly.
Can I wear these in salt water?
Yes, they are designed to be water-ready. Simply rinse them with fresh water after contact with salt water to prevent mineral buildup and fabric degradation.
How do I know which size to pick?
The Hurricane XLT2 follows standard sizing. Use the provided size guide and consider the length of your foot; the straps offer significant adjustability if you are between sizes.
What is the TevaForever program?
TevaForever is a recycling initiative that allows you to send in your well-loved Teva sandals for recycling, ensuring they do not end up in landfills.
Are they suitable for long-distance hiking?
They are ideal for day hikes and light hiking. For multi-day, heavy-load backpacking, a dedicated hiking boot may provide more ankle protection.
Does the antimicrobial treatment wash off?
The Life Naturals treatment is durable, but its effectiveness can gradually fade over a long period with frequent, heavy washing. Regular rinsing and proper drying will prolong its life.
Troubleshooting
Straps are rubbing against skin
Adjust the strap tension to ensure they are secure but not overtightened, and consider wearing them with socks during the initial break-in period.
Odors developing over time
Although treated with antimicrobial agents, you should hand wash the footbed with mild soap and water, then let them dry completely in a well-ventilated area.
Hook-and-loop closure losing grip
Remove debris, sand, or lint from the hook-and-loop patches using a stiff brush or tweezers to restore the bonding strength.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the perfect fit is simple thanks to the multiple hook-and-loop closure points. To set them up, loosen the straps fully, place your foot on the footbed, and tighten the forefoot strap first followed by the ankle strap until snug but not restrictive. For care, rinse the sandals with fresh water after use in salt or muddy water to maintain the integrity of the webbing. Allow them to air dry in the shade, avoiding direct heat sources like heaters or intense sun, which can cause the materials to warp. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and a soft brush to remove dirt from the footbed.
