I bought my first pair of Hurricane XLT in a store on a whim two years ago and started my obsession with these shoes. They're affordable, they're EXTREMELY comfy right out of the box, and you can do any and everything in them. I wear them everywhere. Class, gardening/yard work, dog park, traveling, hiking, walking, international trips, road trips, caves, zoos, San Diego Comic Con, nice dinners, coffee dates, whatever. Dress down, they look cute. Dress up, they look cute. They're perfect for me because I love wearing sandals to keep my feet cool and free since I live in southern Louisiana which is like living in a sauna most of the year. Before these I had to deal with foot aches from cheap flip flops because I didn't have any better alternatives. I have now just received my fifth pair of Teva Hurricane XLTs and I'm never looking back. PS They're extremely durable and great for getting a good hold in dirt or mud. I've worn these to the beach and fishing and I have yet to slip in slick water with these on. Sometimes a little piece of thread will come lose but it's just where they didn't snip it enough or something. It doesn't unravel the stitching and can be fixed with a quick snip. My two year old pair which I have worn almost exclusively for a year and a half is separately between the two pieces of rubber that make up the majority of the shoe. I'm planning on glueing them back together and retiring them to just being garden shoes from now on.

ProsComfortable, Cute
ConsNeeds Break-in, Short Ankle Strap Velcro
These are a pretty good replacement for my old Terradactyls, which are no longer available. The old ones were more comfy, though, and had longer ankle strap velcro. I plan to sew a short strip of velcro onto the strap so there's a little more contact area. The footbed does seem to be a bit more sweaty than the Terradactyls, but I can live with it. I am a 7.5 with a wide ball of the foot. The 7's fit perfectly, with enough adjustable width. Size 8 would be too long for me. Seems it could fit narrow just as well as wide.

Hurricane XLT

ProsBreathable, Comfortable, Durable
I love my new Hurricane XLTs. I replaced a pair of Tevas I've had for many years. I wore the old ones around the house, hiking, camping, vacationing in Mexico. They never let me down. I expect years of the same from the new ones. They're even more comfortable than the old ones.
