FAQs
What is the main advantage of the Universal Strapping System?
The Universal Strapping System allows for three points of adjustment (forefoot, ankle, and heel), enabling a highly personalized and secure fit tailored to individual foot shapes and preferences.
Are the materials used in the Hurricane XLT3 environmentally friendly?
Yes, the sandals incorporate sustainable materials, including 100% recycled polyester straps, 30% recycled EVA in the midsole, and a 30% recycled rubber outsole.
How do I clean my Teva Hurricane XLT3 sandals?
Clean the straps with mild soap and water. Wipe the footbed with a damp cloth. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
Can these sandals be worn in water?
Yes, the quick-dry straps and durable materials make them suitable for use in and around water. They are designed to dry quickly after getting wet.
What terrain are these sandals best suited for?
They are best suited for hiking, all-day wear, and general outdoor activities on light to moderate terrain. The updated outsole provides enhanced traction and stability.
How does the cushioning compare to previous models?
The Hurricane XLT3 features a topsole with 5mm more EVA than the previous XLT2 model, providing enhanced step-in comfort and cushioning.
What is the purpose of the nylon shank?
The nylon shank is integrated into the midsole to provide structure, stabilize your foot, and offer support when walking on uneven terrain.
Troubleshooting
Straps not securing properly
Ensure the hook-and-loop surfaces are clean and free of debris. Try re-adjusting the straps, ensuring they are firmly pressed together.
Discomfort on the top of the foot
Adjust the forefoot strap to a looser setting or reposition the strap to avoid pressure points. Ensure the size is correct for your foot length.
Slipping on wet surfaces
While the outsole is designed for traction, extreme wet conditions on smooth surfaces can reduce grip. Ensure the footbed is clean and dry between uses to maximize contact.
Sand or debris getting trapped
Rinse the sandals under running water to clear out trapped debris. Adjust straps to be snugger to minimize gaps where sand can enter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Teva Hurricane XLT3 sandals require no assembly. Simply adjust the hook-and-loop straps to achieve your desired fit. Ensure all three adjustment points (forefoot, ankle, and heel) are secured properly for optimal support and stability.
Compatibility: These sandals are designed for adult male use. They are compatible with a wide range of foot shapes due to the Universal Strapping System. While suitable for various terrains, they are best suited for hiking, walking, and casual wear rather than highly technical mountaineering or specific sports.
Care:
- Cleaning Straps: Use a mild soap and water to clean the recycled polyester straps. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning Footbed: Wipe the topsole with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then rinse.
- Drying: Allow the sandals to air dry completely away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, which can degrade materials.
- Outsole: Clean the outsole with water to remove any caked-on mud or debris to maintain traction.
