Kids' Hurricane XLT2 Sport Sandal

Back in the early 2000's, my parents always wore the clunky, bright-colored, water shoe Teva sandals. I used to make fun of them because they were so hideous so it's been an ongoing joke in our family that I would never wear them....I just assumed all Tevas were fugly because of the ones my parents wore. The joke was on me when I told them I ordered a pair of Tevas for an upcoming medical mission trip to Guatemala! I wanted a pair of not-flip-flop sandals that I could walk around comfortably in for long periods of time, didn't take up alot of space in my pack (I only brought two pairs of shoes for the whole week, Merrell sneakers for working & hiking and these for everything else), could be worn in the water if needed...AND that aren't a complete eye sore. These were probably the most attractive, versatile sandals that met all of the things I was looking for. They are VERY comfortable and look good with pretty much everything! The strappy style makes it easy to dress up with a sundress, and the bungee cord color in particular looks great with jeans (I'm in my twenties if that matters at all). A bunch of other girls on the trip complimented and asked where I got them. As far as sizing goes, I usually wear a 9.5 wide if available because I have super flat and wide feet due to a genetic extra bone on both of my cankles (thanks dad). I read the reviews that these shoes were long so I went with size 9, which was the right choice! The normal width works for wide feet. The arch support on these shoes is perfect...it's just enough to help flat feet, without forcing too much of an arch that it causes foot pain. The sole is thick and sturdy, while still being relatively lightweight, which really helped when walking on the cobblestone streets of Antigua, Guatemala. I did a short easy hike in these shoes, but I would not recommend them as your only hiking shoes. If your feet get dirty they rinse of easily with water. I am traveling to Europe this summer for 2 weeks and plan on only bringing a backpack again so this will be the only pair of sandals I bring! The only negative I can think of is that my boyfriend still thinks they look a little geeky, but who cares what he thinks :P These shoes were well worth the $50 and will continue to be throughout my summer travels and camping trips in California. Now I see all the hype about Teva that my parents tried convincing me of for years! Yay Teva!

I looked for a while to find a comfortable and not a bulky shoe and these worked. Great shoe and would highly recommend and they look good too.

Got these Tevas to wear to a theme park... They truely are as advertised a "hiking sandal". Supportive, fast drying. Adjustable straps are easy to move. I snipped off the excess strap with out any struglle. Super easy . A great warm weather open shoe for running errands or climbing a trail or waiting in a rollercoaster line for hours. The sole is light, yet dense compared to other similar sandals. There is arche support. High quality, the brand Teva is worth it.

These shoes are super comfortable and fit really well. The Velcro strap is annoyingly short, so I won’t purchase these again, since they’re not an easy slip on and off shoe. But overall, a very good quality.

I have narrow feet. Not many shoes come in narrow, and these shoes are not narrow-- they are a medium in the width. I liked them because the velcro is adjustable-- yes there is parts of the strap that over hang past the other-side of the velcro. A small con, but a con I am used to with shoes... that at this point doesn't really bother me. I wear a 9.5-10 in shoes (9.5 about 80% of the time), depending on the brand (mountain bike shoes, moto boots, show boots and EU 41-- almost always). I went with 9.5 in these as they are a sandal. Other reviewers said the shoe ran large and to size down a half size. I didn't necessarily do that. I would have liked a shoe that was much more "cute'r". But I am a gal who goes for comfort and function over a shoe that will win a beauty pageant. The shoes are not ugly or an eye sore-- otherwise no matter how comfortable they were I would send them back. The shoe feels like wearing nothing. Feels like going barefooted. They have good heal support and arch support. The shoe holds on to my feet in a good way-- I feel secure and ready for anything the day tosses at me. I have long low-medium arches. Wider toe box and very narrow rest of the foot. I would pick my Keen sandals for a day with rural adventure. These are perfect, to me, for urban adventures-- though I can easily see that someone would feel just fine in any kind of trek in these shoes (I just like more foot coverage in certain situations). I would buy them again. They are only ok with skinny jeans-- the back of the heal is thicker (especially the loop). I've worn them a handful of times for full days; no break in period needed. I am going to Europe for 35 days, this pare will be one of my 3 shoes I take. I will update this review after.

***Update: I have had these a year now and still LOVE them! They are starting to show their age a tiny bit but I use them constantly from March-November and I have not been gentle with them as mentioned below. Based off the superficial wear and tear on them halfway through their second summer, I figure I will get at least 3 summers of use out of them, they are definitely sturdy and well made. When these eventually die I will 10000% get another pair. *Original review: Let me start by saying I have very oddly shaped feet lol. I got them scanned at a running store once and every measurement was at the far end of their average spectrum. So while my length measures around a size 5.5-6 I'm in the 95th percentile for width so I usually have to wear a 7-7.5 wide shoe. All that to say this sandal is the best for my extra wide feet! And I tried around a dozen different pairs of similar sandles before finding these. I've had these about 3 months and I have put them to the test! Few days after purchase I spent 4 days in Vegas wearing these the whole time and walking 20,000+ steps a day around the strip. No blisters! And although my feet did hurt at the end of the day it was tired hurt from walking way more than usual and not the shoes fault. Next we did 3 days at Disneyland with days near 30,000 steps (one day was 15 miles of walking!). Again no blisters! I pretty much wear these anytime I'm not at work where I'm required to wear closed toed shoes since I got them. And after all the crazy use I've given them the last 3 months and they barely show any wear! Very very happy with this purchase! They are lightweight but still tough and comfortable. I also like that you can adjust both the ankle straps and the toe strap so people with weirdly shaped feet like me can adjust these easily.

I love Teva’s. I have been wearing them for many years, with Hurricanes being my first pair. Then I discovered Tirra about four years ago and of course instantly fell in love with those too. My husband says the Hurricanes are bulky/chunky looking , so he always prefers I wear the Tirra, but I have lake blue in the Tirra and that bright blue doesn’t always match everything. I love blacks and greys for sandals, so I decided on the Verra, plus it’s minimal looking with less straps and can be worn with anything. I have been reading reviews off and on for weeks now. Verra versus Tirra: Tirra are the ultimate in comfort, construction and overall feel. No rubbing anywhere, not even on my pinky toes, perfect arch support, you name it. Verra are not constructed quite as good. On the inside of the ankle strap, the part that hugs the inside of your foot and ankle, Verra appears to be just glued. Tirra is stitched very well, heavy duty type stitching. So that might be why some women have the straps eventually coming away from the shoe. Also, they differ on the bottoms. Tirra are straight up grippy rubber, the Verra I just got are part rubber (fronts and backs) but more like a compressed foam on the majority of the bottoms. The soles on Verra are visibly thinner than Tirra, but arch support is still pretty good. As for sizing, I wear a size 9 in Hurricanes, a 9.5 in Tirra and I had to order a 10 in Verra. I always wear 9’s in sandals, even my Birkenstocks are size 40 R. Style wise, Verra are cuter and more feminine looking but also the straps on Tirra are far superior. The material on Tirra seem to dry faster and is softer. Also straps have a cushioning fabric underneath where it touches your feet, Verra doesn’t. One last thing about comparing the two, the strap between both pieces of velcro that cover the ankle is much shorter on the Verra, which is why when you close that strap, it doesn’t cover the front of the ankle as well as Tirra. I am returning the Verra. My feet are hurting already, just from wearing them around the house. Based on my own experience, Verra seem like they are more for a narrow foot. I have one narrow and one medium width, but even my narrow foot is hurting. Hope this helps someone else trying to compare the Tirra and Verra models.

Arrived quickly and well packaged--was in original box and packaged.

歩行性はとても快適。 デザインも軽やかで素敵、色はカーキっぽくて合わせやすいです。 サイズは普段購入する24.5が在庫切れだったので、25Bにしました。大きめで大丈夫かな？と思いましたが、結果、丁度良かったので、かえってラッキーでした。

I love it which is good quality.Hope it will be lasting

Lo mejor es que son muy cómodas, y se ajustan muy bien al pie, no bailan, así que perfectas para caminar, etc. Además el diseño las hace más "ligeras" que otros modelos, más apropiadas para más ocasiones. Antes las tenían con la tira en negro completamente, que me gustaba más, éstas son las más aproximadas a aquellas

Soddisfatta. Comodo sia in città che per passeggiate su terreno non asfaltato. Estetica bella e comodi al piede.

I bought these sandals as I was no longer able to buy Versa (no longer made). Before the Versa I used to buy the Teva Pretty Rugged black leather sandals. I adored them and have a pair that have lasted 11 years. However, in that time I have developed foot problems and can no longer where any footwear that places any strap or pressure across the main big toe joint. The Versa were good as they are light weight and the sandals had straps that went either side of that joint but not across my toe and I found I could wear them pain free. The Verra which have just arrived are even better in fit and have a better sole. I can wear them comfortably for hours and they fit like a glove. I wish they had totally black straps like the Versa and the Pretty Rugged. I think total black looks smarter. But the Verra also look good despite the slight lighter edge on either side of the straps.
