I must have read a review somewhere to know about the sandals and buy them from Amazon. The price is reasonable and the shoes fit well, A minor issue is that the strap for each shoe hangs on the side and looks odd. One person offered to cut it, but I passed on the offer.
I have these in slides too and they are durable and fit so well. My feat can finally breath.
These destroy my arches. Great for someone needing arch support, but I'm afraid I might need it after relying on these super high arches. I.e. will my muscles weaken :(Yes, these do run large. I ordered towards the lower end of my range, and could have fully gone down. The strap is pulled so firm that it's almost hitting the ground. (And yes, I still fully release it to comfortably get them on & off)
If you have two feet you will love these because they come in sets of two.
I purchased these for a camping trip where we planned to float the river and I wanted something that I wouldn't lose. Not only did they work well for the river float but I actually just wore them for the entire week. I haven't ever had sandals that felt comfortable like this and they were nice because they fit to all types of feet shapes. The straps are all adjustable by just sliding them through the slits and the adjusting the single strap. I would buy them again for sure.
Be sure to order a size down. I'm a 9.5 in nearly every show brand. But a size 10 was WAY too large but the 9 was perfect!Great sandal, much lighter weight than other Chacos
This is the first pair of Chaco sandals I have purchased. With its cult following I figured I’d give them a try. The style and color is cool, the fit is what I’m not a huge fan of. One sandal wears different then the other. Looking at the straps the right sandal requires a lot more tightening and leaves a very floppy strap whereas the left sandal not so much. Also left sandal holds more securely to the foot. Maybe a manufacturer error, but I won’t be buying again, and will likely donate these $50+ pair of sandals. Certainly not worth a $100 that I have seen others go for.
The lowdown is a great lightweight alternative to the Z1. Not built to be as durable in exchange for a bit of weight. Not rebuildable, but I got them for less than a resole on my Z1 classics.
