Positive Reviews:

I'm a relative newbie to the Chaco scene; I've been wearing my first-ever pair for the past year and a half. I was hesitant when I first put them on; the very prominent arch tempted me to send them back. I'm SO glad I didn't. After the initial break-in period (a week or so), the sandals get a nice better-than-barefoot feel. The fit is so very customizable--which comes in handy on long backpacking trips when one's feet start to swell. I take an 8.5 or 9 in trail runners, but the Chaco women's 8 works for me. I've learned to keep them nice and loose, and I don't have to worry about chafing or blisters.
I wore these nearly every day for four weeks this summer while walking el Camino de la Costa across northern Spain. That's 20 to 30 km a day through mud and mountains and city streets, in July heat. They held up well and gave me a killer sandal tan (far superior to a sock tan). The straps dry fast and there is no velcro to wear out or get gunked-up. The Vibram outsole grips like a dream.
My only wish, being a bit of a flat-footed supinator, is that Chaco would come out with a lower-arch version of these. I know I'm a minority here; most people lap up the arch support. Plus, after months of regular wear, I've flattened out the footbed so that it isn't so much of an issue. They still get 5 stars, because there is no finer footwear on the planet. Too bad they don't let me wear open-toed footwear at work.

AMAZING SHOE

This shoe is top notch, I love it! I were my chaco's everywhere! They are like my best friend. Some people don't like the arch of the shoe, but I love it! It helps me have better posture and it almost feels better when I walk.They are wonderfully price for their quality. I am one to talk, I have 12 pairs of all different kinds. I do not want to let go of any of them, not matter how ratty they are. Chacos get old like any other shoe, but that just shows how much they have been warn out. My friends will ask, " Why won't you get rid of a pair?" i just say "I have broke them in, and I love them soo much." I think I am obsessed with chacos. I will go hiking with my friends in them, swim in water falls with them, shop in them, walk in them, you name it. Chacos can do anything at anytime, any where.

Performance is right!

I bought my first pair of Chacos 7 years ago, and am still wearing that original pair today. They classify these as performance sandals, and performance is right! The sticky Vibram soles are great for moving around on wet rocks (normally a guaranteed ankle breaker for me), and the fully adjustable strap system means I get the perfect fit everytime. I wear them loose when I'm at work or around town, and tighten them up for hikes. I really cinch them up if I'm crossing rivers or rockhopping. On top of those great features is probably my favorite: the arch support. I've always had trouble with my feet, and used to have to wear orthotics. These are the only sandals I have ever found that provide the kind of support I need. Oh, and did I mention the awesome tan? Chaco wearers can always recognize kindred spirits by the cool Z-shaped tan you get when you wear them all summer.

Rockin but runs large

I usually wear a 7 or a 7 1/2 shoe (and I like shoes to be kind of roomy) but the 7 was so huge in the store (they don't carry half sizes) that I bought a 6 (WOAH I know, but I seriously don't have tiny Asian feet!). They fit alright but when worn with thick socks need to be readjusted. My toes still kind of hang off the end sometimes but not in an uncomfortable way. I got these in the red color and they're SO FLY everyone loves me more and I think I'm more popular because of them. Maybe it's just because the size was kind of weird, but I usually wear these with the excess strap pulled all the way out, especially with socks.

Best sport sandal on the market!

I can't say enough good things about the chaco Z/1...these sandals rock. I literally live in mine when the weather's warm (and sometimes when it's not). They have great support, and NO VELCRO to wear out! My old velcro sandals (I won't name names) used to get gunked up with sand at the beach, and generally would just wear out quickly. After a while the velcro simply wouldn't stick so the sandals wouldn't stay on my feet. Not a problem with Chacos. They are full adjustable, so they'll fit almost anybody, and they last forever. I'm not crazy about having something around my big toe, so I prefer the Z/1 over the Z/2. I have a pair of the flips too, and love them just as much. Highly recommended.

comfortable, durable, useful!

i have heard rave reviews on these sandals for a long time, and after my best friend just got back from spending 2 years in africa and wearing these shoes everyday in the desert, i decided to give them a try! the straps are fun and easy to adjust, and they are relatively lightweight on the foot, despite being super durable and strong. i ran through the rain in them today, and my feet didn't slip at all! i thought the sizing would be tricky, because i normally wear a 9 1/2, and it seems as they don't come in half-sizes. however, i went with the 9 and they are GREAT! i can't wait to wear them to africa next summer, and everyday until then!

These shoes do it all!

I didn't get a pair of Chacos until last December and I'm not quite sure how I lived without them! They took a week or so to break in, but the arch support is amazing. Most comfortable shoe I've ever had. They're great for everything! I love to wear them all over my college campus in any weather. These shoes can go from walking to class to hiking to playing mud volleyball to jumping around in waterfalls. The possibilities are endless. I also love this particular style because my toes don't like being tied down. I recommend these if you have any doubts about the toe strap on other styles. Overall, the perfect shoe for just about anything you need or want to do.
Brandi at Moosejaw on 05/08/2011

I wanted a pair of non-slip, comfortable sandals that were fairly rugged for hiking/walking on wet surfaces.... but I didn't want the toe strap thing.... I ordered these, hoping they wouldn't be floppy or loose. They're WONDERFUL!! I wore them on a trip to Costa Rica - pretty much for the entire time (except when we were DIRECTED to wear closed toe, high boots because of certain little poisonous critters slithering around....) They get tight by the end of the day, but I can easily adjust the straps and wiggle around and they're fine! I also LOVE (and did not expect) the feature of never really having to re-buckle them-- you just loosen the straps, slide in, tighten 'em up and take off!!!

Undoubtedly the best shoes I ever bought

I bought my Chacos about five or six years ago in a hole-in-the-wall outdoors store, and never looked back. Even with above-average wear, they still look like they're brand new. I have higher than average arches, and most shoes begin to hurt after a while, but these never hurt my feet. Ever. They stay in place and don't shift like a lot of sandals I've had, not even in water. They dry quickly, and are exceptionally easy to clean. The multi-adjustable straps are so brilliant that I'm amazed no one thought of it before. Once you've put them on, you'll never buy another pair of sandals again, until about 10-15 years from now when you've worn these out and need new ones.

Not a Good Fit for Me

My husband loves his Chacos, which made me want to have a pair; however, they are not a good fit for me. I have to continuously tighten the strap. The portion across the toe loosens, causing me to trip on the tip of the shoe. May be something unique to me. I normally buy wide shoes but these wides may be a bit too wide.
Gran at Rock/Creek Outfitters on 05/05/2010

Not the most comfortable...

After wearing these for a long period of time they started to really rub my big toe and little toe raw (no matter how they were adjusted). However, the more I wear them, the more comfortable they seem to be getting. They are also very heavy- not good to pack! Great for river rafting, boating and short hikes.
