Detailed Review
The Chaco Women's Classic Leather Flip Flop stands out primarily due to its remarkable comfort and durability. The LUVSEAT PU midsole acts as a strong support system underfoot, which is essential for women looking for reliable footwear during long hours of wear. You’ll appreciate the thoughtful construction as it molds to your foot's shape over time, offering personalized comfort.
In addition to comfort, the aesthetic appeal of these flip flops cannot be understated. The full-grain leather upper provides a touch of sophistication that makes them versatile enough for both casual and semi-formal settings. Whether you're dressing up for a casual dinner or just lounging at the beach, these flip flops are an excellent choice.
The non-marking ChacoGrip rubber compound ensures that you maintain solid footing on various surfaces, enhancing safety as well. With a lug depth of 2.0 mm, you can confidently walk on sandy beaches or rocky paths without worry.
However, it's important to note that some users may find the initial fit slightly stiff, needing a break-in period before achieving complete comfort. Additionally, while the investment is worth it for the quality and longevity offered, they do come at a higher price compared to typical flip flops.

User Reviews
Comfortable and well made.
I originally bought size 11. They were a touch too short for me. The straps were perfect but the length wasnt long enough. I needed just a 1.8” more. Boo. Ended up buying a 12 and it fit more like an 11 but the straps were looser(which I expected because of the larger size). The perfect shoe would be the length of the 12 with the straps of the 11. I kept the 12 and they’re fine. I’m just super picky.
Just like the title, always great. If you’re not used to them they can hurt your foot though so be aware that you need go work up to wearing all day if it’s your first pair.
I went up a full size and the straps are still VERY tight and the toe connection is not in the right place for the shape of the footbed. It makes the ball of your foot fall short of the place on the footbed where it’s meant to be. It’s far too aggressive in arch shape and the toe curves upward in a really odd and aggressive way. Just wish they made these in a flat flip-flop profile with less aggressive arch contour. The rubber sole is great quality, but back they go.
Leather leather leather. Need I say more? Will last forever and mold to your foot for a custom fit
I have worn classic Chaco flips for years. I decided to try this leather flip. The foot bed is hard and not as good of arch support. I can tell the material on the foot bed will wear out sooner than the sole. I’ve had this problem with other Chaco sandals as well that were not the classic food bed. Color is great. But would not recommend these.
I really like them but thry run small, returning for a larger size
These are super cute and I loved the leather look! I did send them back though bc the straps felt pretty stiff and I was afraid they’d rub the top of my feet. I bought them to go on vacation last minute and wouldn’t have had time to break them in.
