Chaco ZX/2 Unaweep Reviews:

Positive Reviews:

I love Chaco's. I found the best fit is to do the next size up and to be wide. The regular is a good fit only if you have narrow feet. Wide is good for regular width feet to actual wide feet. So, for me I am a size 7- 7.5 in regular shoes, I order Chaco’s size 8 W. I’ve broken in a couple pairs, so I recommend for a fast break in period, use them in water a lot, and at first walk around in them as flip flops ( w/o the back strapped up), this allows them to get broken in the foot area. Once that is broken in the heel area should break in just fine. Yes, it's an art to breaking in a pair of usually expensive Chaco's, but it is worth it (to me) to have a lifetime sandal, that is good for hobbies and town wear. Chaco’s last me about 6 years of regular summer wear, then the sole kind of starts flopping off. You can get your sandals repaired through Chaco and probably get another 6 years out of them, but I usually see it as an excuse to get a new pair :} Also... I just ordered a customized pair off the chaco website (pick all your own designs, sole and color, stitch color etc) for 130 dollars. Compared to retail stores you have limited selection and they cost about 116 dollars. I say create your own pair!!

After trying both the Keen Newport H2 and the Teva Tirra sandals, I have chosen these to be my sandals for backpacking around the world. I have extremely narrow feet, so the fact that you can adjust all the straps is AMAZING.
I wasn't crazy about chacos color options, but I ordered the Foxy Green and I LOVE it! I love that these are more sandal like than both Keens and Tevas and that there arent laces or velcro all over the shoe like Tevas and Keens.
You definitely have to break these shoes in, the straps rubbed in a couple places after I walked in them a lot, but they dont anymore. I also got a small blister on the bottom of my foot from the arch. I'm so used to wearing flat shoes with no arch support that after walking around in these shoes for two days straight the arch was giving me some foot pain and rubbing in a little blister. Again, this is something that has gone away now that I have broken them in and adjusted to them.
Overall they are the BEST possible option in both fit and function. I really don't think there is anything better out there. Chaco has officially won me over :)

I <3 my Chacos!

I absolutely love this pair of Chacos! My previous pair lasted 9 years and were finally rendered irreparable due to an epic hike near Big Sur, CA. At least they went out with a bang! I loved them but since it's getting close to winter I didn't want to buy a new pair right away...my resolve lasted a week. When I found this pair I was SO excited! I have yet to wear my new pair for a hike, but I have no doubt they'll stand up to punishment when I do get out there. I wear them to work, walking the dog, etc. The arch support is great, they're definitely durable, and I love their weight. I honestly can't think of anything bad about these sandals, except that if you aren't used to Chacos they do take a little getting used to...you don't break them in, they break you in. These are my favorite sandals and I look forward to spending the next 9+ years with them.

Awesome shoes! They are a little narrow. I do not have a wide foot, pretty average (I actually have a slightly wide toe box and a narrow heel, but always, except on Chacos, wear a medium width.) I do wear a half size, though (size 6.5. women's.) I ended up having to try the shoes on in the store to figure out what size I wear. Here's the scoop:
The Uniweep apparently run narrow. In the Uniweep, I go down a half size, but wear a wide (women's size 6 wide.) The Yampa (same top as the Uniweep, but the sole doesn't have the same depth of tread and it's a slightly lighter...and wider...shoe) is ever so slightly wider than the Uniweep; I am able to wear a medium width, but go UP to the next size, size 7. (There was not a 6 wide available to try on in the Yampa, so I don't know how that would have worked.)

I bought these as a birthday gift to myself. I live in Florida and I go to the theme parks a lot. Flip flops and sandals just weren't cutting and sneakers get too hot in the summer. My cousin had a pair and she swore by them. So I got a pair and I am so happy I did. I wear them everywhere. I also have flat feet and bunions and they don't bother at all. It took some getting used to and you definitely need to break them in. But once you do you won't regret your decision. I am 27 and I have feet and lower back pain issues since I was a teenager. I have never found a pair of sandals that were so perfect for my feet. The biggest plus is they have great traction, so no slipping or falling on wet surfaces.

Love these things

I've had these for a year or so now, and I love pretty much everything about them. I have wide, flat, and generally unattractive and usually uncomfortable feet, and these are great (people even tell me they're cute!). It did take a little while for the straps to quit tightening up, but now I almost never have to readjust them. I have enough space in them so when my feet swell up a little in the heat, they're still comfortable. I've never had a blister from them. They're great for hiking, biking, splashing around in the water, running errands, hanging out... the only (and I mean ONLY) thing I don't like them for is kayaking - my heels rest a little uncomfortably against the bottom of my boat. Other than that, these are good for everything, and they look as good as the day I bought them.

Happy Feet!

I really do love my Chacos. It took me a while to get the straps adjusted just right and then they were a perfect fit. The only bummer is that the straps move after I wear them for a short while. The movement of my foot while walking pulls the straps around my toes really tight and a slight adjustment needs to be made. This might be a pain for someone else, but I don't mind. It's an easy adjustment and takes only a second. Other than that, they are one of my favorite pairs of footwear! I've been campoing and hiking, wear them to work, out with my friends. They are good to my feet and are super durable. If they are dirty, I can just hose them down and set them to dry. I'm saving up to buy my second pair!

All I want to wear

I've worn Chaco sandals in the summertime for years. I have high arches and a tendency to suffer from plantar fascitis, and these are the only sport sandals that give me the arch support I need without having to wear my orthotics. I love the double strap and toe ring, as they give me great support in the shoe, and don't allow my feet to slide around. If you follow the directions included for adjusting the straps exactly, you'll get a good fit without strangling your big toe. Once properly adjusted I never have to do it again, unless my feet are unusually swollen.

The only drawback for me is that I feel the soles in the heel area wear down way too fast, especially compared to the original Chacos that used to be made in Colorado. Otherwise,
Chacos Rule!!!

Great support

Got this at an REI returns shelf. I usually wear a 7 1/2 w, so I got the 8w. They fit perfectly. I went up so that they were a little loose at the store, but are still comfortable after lots of walking. Hiked 7 miles around Castle Rock State Park with out any problems besides dirty feet! With knee issues good support is necessary and most of the time sandals that is hard to find. These sandals give me so much support that hiking significantly uneven terrain did not cause me any hesitation without a knee brace.

I will never go back to a different brand of sandals!

They also go from water to shore well. They dry fast and don't retain any lake smells that might be unwanted in town.

I love chacos!

My chacos go everywhere with me, and I know I will be putting these ones to good use. After 6 tough years, my last pair finally bit the dust on my excursion to India and Nepal. They had taken me all over the states, on hundreds of hikes and exploring in South America. Best shoes ever for travel, adventure and looking as stylish as possible with the functionality of a solid shoe. Its a sh-andal (shoe/sandal). They rock. Love this color and the rugged sole. Will be great for hiking this summer. I size down for my Chacos. I am a size 8 running shoe but wear a 7 in this style. Fits great every time!

Negative Reviews:

I wanted these to fit so badly, but they just aren't going to work for me. My normal size is a 6.5, so I first ordered the 6 and it was a bit too short, and with 7's the ankle strap is too loose and there's so much excess strap at the end that it hits the ground. I could probably deal with the long strap, but I know but the loose fit at the ankle would turn into blisters once I got on a trail. Technically I could get it adjusted so the back was tighter, but at that point the end strap was way, way too long and the whole fit was too tight and uncomfortable. Bummer.

melissa2292991 at Backcountry.com on 01/30/2011

I really Tried

I really tried to like this sandal, but my feet didn't well for it. I walk with my toe up and because of that it made walking a long time in the shoe hard. THe other thing I noticed is that the sandal continues tightening up. Every day I had to loosen the shoes up. I switched over to the chacos without the toe loops and I really like them. I can hike and walk around all day with them. They are great sandals but just be aware of the toe loop thing.
PrincessLeaJediKnight at REI on 07/07/2011

The straps, even when adjusted, didn't fit and my feet were sliding around in them - they were just too long. I heard that they will fix this problem for free if you send them in, but the other problem I had was that both of my feet wouldn't stay centered so I was walking on the lumps on the side and it was very uncomfortable. I think they are great for people with wide feet, but not for people with very narrow feet!

liap61425 at Backcountry.com on 10/04/2012

Adjustable : (

I bought these because the straps are adjustable for a custom fit. My feet are slightly narrow and many sandals are too wide. But the straps don't stay as adjusted and keep getting tighter in some spots. I readjust the straps every hour or two. It's getting worse, so I will be returning them.
JanisS at REI on 05/05/2011

I love these shoes. However, the pictures are very deceiving. They have the lighting very wrong in the pictures. The design is way more dull. Also, the soles are BLACK not even remotely gray. Customer service will argue with you on what color they are. However, you can all judge for yourselves.
