Customer Reviews Teva Hurricane XLT2 Alp

I purchased the olive color in a size 7, I wear a 71/2 shoe. I rated, "feels like a half size smaller", because they are a half size smaller and fit that way. I would not up-size to an 8. I was happy that once I put them on, they looked more stylish than I had read in other reviews. I was expecting an orthopedic looking shoe. I have a narrow foot so all of the straps accent my foot, looking pretty cool. A fuller foot would definitely make this look orthopedic. Over all I like this shoe. Thank you Teva for going back to your roots and making a practical sandal that can be used for hiking in wet or dry terrain. Here is what I would change: I would like more arch support, which would mean a little bit stiffer insole with a stiffer arch, like Teva shoes used to be. I would like to have a little more width in the toe area for protection while hiking, like Teva used to make.before they went for fashion. I think these are a good compromise that combine fashion and function. But, "Hey Teva!", you used to make a great form and function shoe. Keep going back to your roots...there are plenty of fashion shoes but not a lot of functional footwear out there.

Maybe not the cutest shoe, but an excellent sandal for high arches.
