FAQs
Are the Teva Hurricane XLT3 sandals waterproof?
While the materials are designed to be water-friendly and quick-drying, they are not strictly 'waterproof' and are intended to get wet during outdoor use.
Can I wear these for long-distance hiking?
These are suitable for moderate day hikes and varied terrain, though they do not offer the protective toe coverage of a closed-toe hiking boot.
How do I determine my size for these sandals?
The XLT3 follows standard UK sizing; choose the same size you typically wear in athletic footwear for a proper fit.
Are these sandals machine washable?
No, it is recommended to hand wash them with mild soap and cold water to protect the structural integrity of the straps and sole.
What is the difference between the XLT2 and the XLT3?
The Hurricane XLT3 features a redesigned, cushy textured topsole for superior comfort and refined ergonomics compared to the XLT2.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel too tight or dig into skin
Loosen each strap individually to redistribute tension; ensure the heel padding is centered.
Foot slipping inside the sandal when wet
Tighten the ankle and forefoot straps to secure your foot; ensure the textured topsole is free from mud or debris.
Strap ends flapping while walking
Use the built-in strap end retainers if available or adjust the velcro anchor point to reduce excess webbing length.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by loosening all three straps on the sandal before putting them on. Once your foot is placed, secure the straps starting from the front moving toward the heel until the sandal feels snug but not restrictive. For maintenance, clean the sandals by hand using mild soap and cool water, then allow them to air dry in the shade to preserve the material integrity. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the adhesives and synthetic fibers of the straps.
