Full details
The Teva Hurricane XLT3 Walking Sandals are designed for active adults seeking comfortable and supportive footwear for hiking and all-day wear. Their key benefit lies in the enhanced cushioning and improved traction, offering a secure and comfortable experience on varied terrain. A potential consideration is that while durable, the hook-and-loop closure may require occasional adjustment for optimal fit during strenuous activities. These sandals feature quick-dry straps made from recycled materials, a universal strapping system for personalized fit, a cushioned topsole for comfort, and a supportive nylon shank.

Can I wear these sandals in water?

How should I clean my sandals?
Clean with mild soap and cool water, using a soft brush or cloth. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
What is the main difference between the Hurricane XLT3 and other Teva models?
The XLT3 builds upon the classic Hurricane XLT2 with enhanced cushioning, an updated outsole for better traction, and a refined textured topsole for added comfort, all while maintaining the signature secure strapping system.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel loose after adjustment.
Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are clean and free of debris. Press firmly to secure them. If the issue persists, the hook-and-loop may be worn and could require replacement.
Discomfort on the top of the foot.
Re-adjust the straps to ensure even pressure distribution. Ensure the padded heel strap is positioned correctly for your foot.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of mud or debris. While designed for traction, extremely slick surfaces may still pose a risk. Use caution in such conditions.
Slight squeaking sound during walking.
This can sometimes occur with new materials. Try walking on them to break them in. Ensure no debris is trapped between the sole layers.
