I used to have a model similar to the Hurricanes

http://www.teva.com/ProductDetails.aspx?g=m&categoryID=422&productID=4144&model=KataviThe Katavi I feel have much more of a support feel, the grip is way better than the Hurricane's and the straps just feel way sturdier. They get wet and I can still scramble rocks, I do a lot of hiking on the coast of Maine where you have to scuttle over rocks and boulders from time to time. No slipping. Also I feel that since the side has so more material than the Hurricane there is much less debris getting in and pricking my foot, and there are a bunch of small pine needles by me.
These sandals are definitely not for people who worry about dirty feet, and the sandal tan, well I wear as a badge of honor lol. I hate going in to my sleeping bag with dirty feet, just a peeve of mine, so I always carry a pair of socks for me to wear at night to put over my dirty feet.
Oh also, I have seen people wear a brand called Birkenstock. My room mate wears them all the time and they seem tough and durable as well. I cant say anything about their performance, but he wears them in the same situations I wear my Teva's.
Also a girl I know used to have a pair of chacos. They are pretty much the same thing as Teva's, just with a more expensive price tag.
