I purchased these sandals because of their reputation for durability. I walk several miles a year in Florida and wear out sandal regularly. These are supposed to hold up. We'll see. For now, I have no complaints. I ordered my normal size (9) and the sandals fit fine. The straps were easy to adjust (...

Chacos ain't what they used to be

Big arch is as comfortable as ever, but soles wear out much faster than my old Chacos. Buy closeout colors, and expect to resole them soon, and they may still be worth it. I have six pairs I cycle through to control the smell.

Got these for my husband , as I have A pair I love !

His need to be broken in a bit more .. after a walk he had a bit of a blister . The straps are a tad long so need to cut or Velcro those so they don’t flap .

They’re comfy and they stay put—can’t really ask for more. Except for maybe a way to manage the excess strap. For now I’m just tucking it in behind the strap at the heel. Curious to see if that causes any rubbing issues when I wear them all day.

Z/1 sandals is best sandals!

I wear sandals almost every day from May-Oct, am M ~230lb, and got tired of destroying and replacing my sandals every year via delaminated and crushed soles. I bought a pair of Z/1's about 5 years ago, and they have held up comfortably. In fact, I only bought a new pair this summer because the old t...

Awesome Little Sandal

I bought my Chacos for a midsummer trip across the country and they held up impeccably well. I was initially worried about the weight of the sandal especially in regards to hiking but I didn't find them to be noticeably heavy in any way. I took them on hikes, across river beds, and probably put some...

They'll take you anywhere...

I bought these sandals because my girlfriend had a pair and couldn't stop talking about them so I thought "I'll give them a shot!" Upon receiving them, I have gone through almost every terrain with them (sand, dirt, water, mud, and haven't tried snow yet...not sure if I will get to that)! The thick ...

"Non-Sandal Guy" Approved!

I bought these for my husband, and honestly I was skeptical about spending the money because he really doesn't like to wear sandals for whatever reason. He's had Chaco "dupes" before and, as expected, he didn't even wear them. So when he said he wanted Chacos I resisted a little bit, and finally gav...

Great Comfort and Arch Support

My first pair of Chacos, and I must say I'm impressed! They don't come out of the box ready to wear -- you need to spend some time tuning the straps to fit your foot, but once you dial in the right fit, you begin to understand why they are a thing. Surprisingly supportive and comfortable, especially...

First time buyer for this brand. They are built much better than TEVA's. The front inner strap by the big toe on my last 2 pair of Teva's popped out, after the 3rd year of use, on both pairs. Always at the worst time too.. The Chaco brand manufactures the foot straps into the shoe as a complete stra...
