FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for swimming?
Yes, the quick-dry straps and water-ready materials make them suitable for light water activities like wading or crossing streams. However, they are not designed as dedicated water shoes.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Consult the sizing chart provided by Teva. Ensure your heel is centered and there is a small amount of space at the front and back of the sandal. The adjustable straps will help fine-tune the fit.
What makes the Hurricane XLT3 different from the XLT2?
The XLT3 features an updated outsole with enhanced traction, a more cushioned topsole (5mm more EVA), and refined strap designs for improved comfort and security compared to the XLT2.
Can I wear these with socks?
While designed to be worn without socks, some users prefer wearing thin liner socks for added warmth or to prevent chafing. However, this may affect the fit and grip.
What is the warranty on these sandals?
Please refer to the official Teva website or the product packaging for detailed warranty information, as terms can vary.
How do I clean the cushioned topsole?
Wipe the topsole with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with cool water and allow to air dry completely away from direct heat.
Are these sandals vegan?
The straps are made from 100% recycled polyester. The midsole uses recycled EVA and the outsole uses recycled rubber. Teva does not use animal products in this specific model, making them vegan-friendly.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too loose or too tight
Utilize the Universal Strapping System. Adjust the straps at the ankle and forefoot to achieve a personalized and secure fit. Ensure the hook and loop closures are firmly pressed down.
Reduced grip on the hook and loop closure
Clean the hook and loop surfaces with a stiff brush to remove any trapped dirt, lint, or sand. This will restore the adhesive strength.
Discomfort on uneven terrain
Ensure the straps are adequately tightened to keep your foot stable. The nylon shank is designed to help with support, but proper strap adjustment is key.
Soles feel slippery after getting wet
While designed for water, it's normal for any sole to be less grippy when wet. Ensure you're walking at a moderate pace and utilize the full surface area of the outsole for stability. Dry the soles off when possible.
