Is the Teva Hurricane Daybreaker true to size?

Buyers generally report it fits true to size. If you are between sizes or have a wide foot, note that it only comes in medium width and the toe tapers.

Does it need breaking in?

No. Owners say it was comfortable out of the box and worked on multi-day trips without a break-in period.

Is it actually waterproof?

It uses a TevaRAPID PROOF waterproof membrane, and buyers say the attached tongue and lining help keep water out. It is a low-top shoe, so deep water can still get in over the collar.

How does it compare with other Teva hiking shoes?

The Daybreaker is a light-hike shoe with a firmer midfoot shank and a strap-plus-lace closure. Teva's Hurricane sandals are open and lighter; this is the closed, weather-ready option for day trails.

What is the sole like for rocky trails?

A midfoot shank plate adds stability and shields the foot from sharp surfaces. Reviewers call the ride firm and protective rather than flexible.

Is it good for wide feet?

It is only offered in medium width, and several buyers with C–D width feet found it too narrow. Try it on if you need extra room.
