A thicker-soled version of the Teva Hurricane sandal, with the same fit as the standard Hurricane but a raised platform sole.

Why it's buy-it-for-life
A redditor notes the Ampsole's thicker sole lasts roughly twice as long as the standard Hurricane XLT2, at the cost of extra height.

One of my pairs of Tevas broke in a similar way last year. I don't trust the quality of their new sandals.

Teva makes a version of the hurricane that has a super thick sole, called ampsole... the soles last twice as long.




Wore Tevas, switched to Chaco.
My Tevas broke after light use... I'd steer clear
I have a pair that have survived for 8 years of weekly use and abuse. Not sure if this model is bad or if new ones are not made as well.
these new ones have poor quality foam and the straps don't extend very far into the sole
my new Teva Hurricanes pulled out after a few weeks of gentle use... Shitty company, shitty product.
broke right at a critical spot, as well. Disappointing.
