Teva

Hurricane Xlt2 Ampsole

Women's

First off, I never write reviews. BUT I've been wearing these shoes for 20 days straight on a backpacking trip through Spain and Italy. They've held up through hiking, water, and day-to-day travel. All my friends are very jealous they don't have these shoes on this trip. I wear a 7.5 usually and went down to 7 and they fit perfect.

I've always loved Teva's comfortable sole, but the ampsoles take Teva to a whole new level in comfort. If you're looking for an all-day walking or light hiking sandal, these are going to be your new go-to. I usually wear a 9.5 so I ordered a 10. There's plenty of room to avoid stubbing my toes in the river (which can be an issue if you're wearing sandals that are too short). The wide footbed provides stability and space for the feet to spread naturally. This sandal cups my heel in a cloud of cushion while offering my moderately high arches support--just the kind of footbed to prevent planter fasciitis flare-ups. Five star purchase!

I LOVED my original Tevas. I had two pair and wore them out. I used them on trails, on walks around the hood with the dogs, everywhere. But the geometry seems to have been changed in the heel area for the straps and I can no longer wear these shoes. I am so bummed. Instead of sitting high on my heel, the straps now rest about halfway down and do not feel secure at all. I tried different pairs at different stores (silly I know) and had the same results. So no Tevas in my future. Truly sad and feel let down by a brand that I love.

I bought these right before my trip to Italy and I was so happy that I did. They are super light and comfortable and I wore them almost every single day, just for walking around and hiking. They feel like walking on clouds. I'm a size 6 and got a size 6. Easy to clean too. My straps got dusty so I scrubbed them with oxy clean and a toothbrush and then some dish soap. Highly recommend this to everyone! You won't regret it
