Born on the banks of the Colorado River in the 1980s, Teva’s original sport sandal was created by a rafting guide who strapped a watch band to a flip-flop to stop it floating downstream. Decades later, the brand has become synonymous with adventure-ready footwear, and its latest hurricane collection builds on that outdoorsy DNA with styles – from walking boots to low-profile trail shoes – designed for both coastal walks and hikes.
At the lighter end sits the hurricane XLT3 sandal, which is a take on the original Teva sandal, this time with extra cushioning and a grippier sole suited to long summer rambles. Meanwhile, the hurricane XLT3 closed-toe sandal offers a more protective hybrid design for those tackling rougher ground – or simply, stinging nettles – without wanting the bulk of a full walking shoe.
