FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The universal strap system with 3-point adjustment allows for a customizable fit, which can accommodate a range of foot widths. Adjust the straps to find your most comfortable setting.
How do I clean the recycled straps?
You can clean the straps with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse gently and allow them to air dry.
What is the main difference from the previous Hurricane XLT2 model?
The XLT3 model features an improved cushioned footbed with more EVA foam for enhanced comfort, an updated outsole for better traction, and the FuseLock™ Velcro for a more secure closure.
Can I wear these in salt water?
While the straps are quick-drying, it's recommended to rinse the sandals with fresh water after exposure to salt water and allow them to air dry to maintain their condition.
What is the heel height of these sandals?
The heel height is flat, typically between 1 to 3 cm, providing a stable and grounded feel.
Are these sandals good for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the combination of the cushioned EVA footbed, nylon shank for support, and the durable Spider Rubber Endure outsole makes them suitable for long-distance hiking.
What does 'REPREVE plastic' mean?
REPREVE is a brand of recycled fibers made from plastic bottles. The straps on these sandals are made from 100% recycled REPREVE polyester, reducing waste.
Troubleshooting
Straps feel loose or don't stay secured.
Ensure the FuseLock™ Velcro is properly aligned and pressed firmly. If wear is apparent, consider if the strap material has lost its adhesion.
Discomfort after initial wear.
The sandals may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the straps are adjusted correctly to avoid pressure points.
Traction seems reduced on wet surfaces.
Ensure the Spider Rubber Endure outsole is clean and free from mud or debris. While designed for traction, excessive water can still reduce grip on extremely slick surfaces.
