Love my regular Chacos and wanted an easy slide. I got so many compliments, I bought 3 colors.They’re very comfortable but if you’re looking for a more supportive footbed you’d be better served with a Birkenstock or similar footbed.As for durability, I wore my first pair into the lake several times and the strap broke through the rubber sidewall.Haven’t had any issues with my other pairs since I don’t get them wet.Can’t beat the value.
These feel like they were custom made for my feet. Very comfortable, and adjustable so I can wear them with or without socks. I've been wearing them for a couple months, and they show no signs of weak points or any wear at all. I wear 9-9.5, and the size 9 I got was perfect.
7•30•23 I got my first pair in May and they broke in June. I got another pair in June and they broke in July. These shoes are pieces of crap. I will LITERALLY be walking and they just break. Luckily I was just in my driveway when the second pair broke. The first pair broke while I was walking in public.Past: My sister and her fiancé have had these shoes for years and have only replaced them once, so I decided to get a pair. My experience with these shoes weren’t the best. Obviously the shoes need to be broke in, however I did not expect for the bottom of my foot to blister along with both sides of the top of my foot. Once they were broke in then they were fine. I wore them all the time up until they broke while I was walking in public. I had only had them for a month until they broke :(
I live in the regular Chacos all Summer (from MM) these don’t seem very rugged. I wouldn’t travel with them. They just don’t fit right for me. I use them as house slippers… I expected better because I can’t live without my V1s— or whatever they are called. I have several pairs of Chacos that I’ve worn hard for so many years I don’t remember style names anymore.
Great support. Fit exactly like other Chaco sandals I own (Z2 / Z1 sandals).
I purchased two pair of these, sizes 9 and 10, planning to return the ones that didn’t fit. Unfortunately for my wallet, the 10s were perfect while wearing socks and the 9s felt great barefoot, so I kept both. After not quite two months of wearing them both occasionally (exclusively indoors), the 10s tore so the strap was longer attached so I decided to contact Chaco’s.Good luck. They seem to care about customer service and I haven’t had a bad experience with a person but the support options became irritating quickly. I saw no email support. When calling their phone number, none of the options seemed quite right for my call - the option I selected redirected me to their website. I then tried chat: nothing would happen when using my iPad Pro. Back to the phone in case I missed something (nope) so back to the website to try a chat with support on a laptop. He redirected me back to the website to fill out the "defective order form". After filling out the minimal info and uploading required photos, I explained the problem the best I could in the 200-character-limited text field. Thanks. I have no way of even asking someone about my concern with the other pair I haven’t worn as much. I guess I’ll just have to eat them when they tear.They’re really comfortable slides and I thought I’d hit the jackpot: they felt great and I’d caught a good sale on Amazon. Given the amount of time I’m spending trying to get these fixed/replaced/returned they would have to pay *me* for these to be economical. And no, I can’t return them to Amazon (one of the suggestions under one of the phone options). I received them in Oct 30 and they tore just before Christmas. With the holidays, and no email support, I waited until January 3; perhaps that was too long for these to be returned to Amazon (the return option is no longer available).
These are high quality! I'm really hard on my footwear and these stand up to the test!
My son loves these. He has quite wearing sneakers, and I had any socks in the wash for weeks!
