TevaMen's M Hurricane Drift Sandal Sport

Comparing the this sandal (Hurricane Drift) with the TEVA Men's Hurricane Xlt2 Sandals. First of all, ny son is a lifeguard and spends a lot of time in shallow water, his crocs banged up his feet with blisters on his first day of the summer, perhaps they are too tight. I ordered these two pairs of sandals to choose one to wear instead as they look like they have better support for the sole of the foot when standing all day and fit closer to the foot so there shouldn’t be so much movement or friction.HurricaneThis Sandal is the one on the left on the picture and the one shown by itself, it is made out of a rubber material similar to crocs but thicker. The strap across the ankle has a more flexible feel to the material than the rest of the shoe, for comfort and durability. You cannot adjust the fit of the straps so if the strap is too tight or too loose, it can’t be adjusted. He finds the shoe very comfortable. Both shoes have the same sole in terms of size, fit and even treads, but this shoe is made of rubber so is much lighter. Completely waterproof.Hurricane XIt2This shoe has a heavier duty rubber sole, making is a little heavier but still light. The straps are typical of Teva sandals, more like a stiff waterproof fabric feel and every strap adjusts with velco. This allows a custom fit but my son finds parts of the Velcro digs in unless you have the perfect lined up seal. This shoe also has a comfort padded strap at the heal. More cumbersome to get on with the Velcro long strap.VerdictFor my sons lifeguard needs or a water/beach shoe we would pick the Hurricane rubber shoe. Perhaps for hiking or wading through a river I’d pick the Hurricane XIt2 during to more of a hiking weight to the sole and the adjustable straps.For my son, the less expensive rubber shoe is the clear winner. More comfortable and less fussy and nothing to dry on it. I will also be putting this review on the other shoe reviews with a close up picture of that shoe. In terms of fit, it’s quite a wide fit and a typical size 9. Both soles are the same size and in each design other than material. Hope this helps someone out.

These worked great for our snorkeling trip to the Galapagos. Comfortable to wear on ship yet easy to clean if worn off ship as they require you to either clean or not wear your off-ship shoes on board. Still look like new and fit great.

I wear these only at home, indoor/outdoor. My feat are sensitive to temperature changes and are easily prone to heat up and sweat when the temp changes. All other footwear only exacerbates the sweaty issue, accept for these. I've had Teva sandals before, but was not a big fan of the the fabric models that can cut/din into my skin. I really like these because they're very soft, light weight and wet friendly. I can dry them of quickly. Also I ordered my actual shoe size and to my surprise, there was about half an inch extra sole ahead of my toes. This is great for not stubbing toes or tripping. There is only one adjustable velcro strap above the ankle. I bought these for comfort not appearance.

This is the third pair I've bought for a friend of mine who is a tour guide in the jungles and cenotes of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. He LOVES these for their comfort walking through uneven terrain in a jungle environment, as well as on the streets of the city where he lives. The only negative is that he wears through them so fast. I don't know if they could be made more durable, or if it's just a result of him wearing them everyday! But they don't seem to last all that long. Otherwise, these are great sports sandals and he says super comfortable.

I liked the first pair so much that I bought another in a different color.These sandals are shaped like classic Tevas but made from what feels like the stuff those "alligator" shoes are made from. Closed cell foam. Completely water proof. Velcro closure. Stretchy enough that I never open the Velcro, I just stretch them over my heel.I have lost most of the feeling in my feet, such that I no longer get the unconscious feedback necessary to keep flip-flop or slide sandals on my feet. I also need to protect my feet because I can't feel minor injuries.So enter these Tevas. They feel like an extension of my foot. Super secure and the footing is rock solid - even when wet. The foot bed extends past the toes far enough that it would be hard to stub one.I have an inside pair and an outside pair, and I'm almost always wearing one or the other if I'm not at work and weather allows.I'm legitimately thinking of buying a third pair to put away for a few years from now in case they stop making then.

I’m an old Teva fan but these rubber sandals are awful with no adjustable front and a lame Velcro strap to tighten the back. A truly sloppy fit as my feet slide all over when I tried to walk in these. (The 10 length was right though) The old saying of you get what you pay for sums it up for me and I’ve already returned them and will have to a second time as Amazon is sending me a replacement which I did not want. Buyer beware of these cheapo sandals

A little on the cheapo quality but I like the shoes. Fit good.

Comodisimas a pesar que la parte delantera es muy ancha para mi pie.
