Some other materials used to create Teva shoes also include leather which is durable, comfortable, and breathes well. Do keep in mind, however, that it won't do well with water.

Not with these sandals, which have the footbed wrapped in luxury leather. The leather wraps around the insoles padded with porous foam which adds extra cushioning. This means you can walk in these sandals all day. Don’t worry about the heels, as they rise at a respectable 2”.From my direct experience with the Teva Hurricane XLT 2, I found that these open toed shoes could handle short periods of exposure to water without becoming saturated. However, prolonged exposure or submersion would result in moisture seeping through. 2. Traction However, the design might not be ideal if you have high arches, and you may need additional orthotic inserts. There is a bit of a trust issue when it comes to shoes this affordable: people automatically believe that they won’t last as long. Cheaper shoes tend to be largely made of synthetic material, but the miracle about these materials, such as rubber, is that they are made to last, and are made to be worn in some extreme conditions. The durable and grippy outsole comes with reliable traction on both dry and slippery surfaces, ensuring stability and preventing slips, and you can rely on the Hurricane XLT 2 hiking sandal to offer good ventilation for your toes.

It doesn’t offer much in terms of fashionability or color options, but if this is the model that catches your eye, chances are you’re going to focus on performance and not looks. The midsole on these sandals is made with EVA foam, and it uses a deep heel cup and a little bit of arch support to provide support, and ensure proper alignment while walking. Aided by a nylon shank, the midsole is sturdy, and can be relied on even in more challenging terrains. These sandals also have multiple straps to anchor your feet to make sure your feet aren't slipping out of them on your walks. No part is made of leather, so they are 100% vegan. The textile that makes the straps are not coarse, and they also latch onto each other easily for easy slipping on and off.However, the Teva Hurricane XLT had a slightly sturdier construction overall. While the Teva Hurricane XLT 2 is still sturdy, some users might prefer the older version’s robustness for a more demanding trail. How Does it Compare with Other Products? Teva Terra Fi 5 Universal
