Want your Classic Sandals with pillow-top comfort? Introducing our travel-ready Z/Cloud series, featuring our same custom adjustable strap system, performance ChacoGrip rubber outsole, and a top layer of ultra-soft PU for instant-cushion underfoot. Every pair of Z/Cloud 2's comes standard with a toe-loop for additional forefoot control and our podiatrist-certified LUVSEAT PU footbed for all-day comfort and support. Step in and feel the difference. 

 Since 1989, Chaco has been creating great fitting product that outlast the competition - footwear that can be repaired rather than pitched into a landfill. Chaco focuses on fit, function, comfort and quality with a full line of footwear, including hiking and river sandals, free-heel casual sandals, flips and new for 2007 a children's collection. All Chaco footwear features a biocentric footbed and has received the APMA Seal of Acceptance. Chaco maintains a triple bottom line of people, planet and profit, donating 3% of after-tax profits to organizations dedicated to caring for people and the planet.

OutdoorGearLab

The Chaco Z/Cloud 2 scores near the top of the sandal charts across the board, but its durability and comfort specifically make it a great choice for long-distance hiking. This model features one of our review's best traction performances, combining underfoot traction with foot-to-shoe interaction that allowed testers to feel comfortable and secure no matter the terrain. This product is a favorite with a comprehensive adjustment system that can hug each foot area. We love that its toe strap provides extra support on the trail but can also fold down as needed to accommodate socks. 
Though we love them, we'll acknowledge that Chacos don't work for everyone. Their footbed is sculpted and doesn't break in much, so they are unlikely to feel comfortable if you have flat feet. The adjustment system is tricky to figure out at first, and it's not conducive to quick readjustment when you need it. These also aren't the lightest options we tested, though we feel that their extra heft lends stability during long days on the trail. All in all, if these fit your feet and you're ready to get out after it, we're pretty sure you'll be in love. 

Switchback Travel

Chaco is one of the biggest names in outdoor sandals, and their adjustable Z-strap models are legends in the hiking and water sport markets. Stacked up against the Bedrock Cairn above, the Z/Cloud listed here is noticeably heavier at 1 pound 14 ounces per pair but gets the clear edge in hiking capabilities with a comfortable and well-cushioned midsole, deep lugs for digging into softer surfaces like mud and sand, and thick straps that effectively secure the heel and forefoot (the Bedrock feels notably loose at the front by comparison). Added up, the Z/Cloud has a very premium fit and feel with an excellent track record to back it up—we’ve had pairs withstand up to three full years of consistent use before needing to be resoled or replaced.

As we touched on above, the Chaco Z/Cloud is far from a weight leader and can feel fairly bulky underfoot as a result. In other words, it wouldn’t be our first choice for strapping to the outside of a pack and lugging deep into the backcountry as a camp shoe, nor would we advise wearing it for long-distance day hikes (for reference, many hiking shoes weigh less). That said, the long-term durability and all-around support are great for most easy to moderate trail use, and Chacos look the part for wearing around town too. In the end, if you like to hike in your sandals, the Z/Cloud is one of the most capable and hardwearing designs on the market. And should you run into any issues, Chaco offers an in-house repair service (called ReChaco) to fix or swap key components including straps, buckles, and even the outsole, which can be upgraded to Vibram rubber.See the Men's Chaco Z/Cloud  See the Women's Chaco Z/Cloud

If you're on the hunt for one of the best adventure sandals around, the longtime fan favorite, Chaco Z/Cloud 2, is our top recommendation. The Cloud soles of the Chaco's Z sandal offer unparalleled traction both on any surface and for your barefoot to stay put in all conditions. Our lead tester has been wearing these sandals to guide river trips and backpacking adventures for over 15 years and has yet to find a situation in which this sandal lets her down &#40;with the obvious exception of in the cold!&#41;. Though the toe loop takes some getting used to, once its fit is dialed in, it's immediately apparent all the benefits it brings to our stability and security getting through the most trying conditions. We've swum rapids and hiked over late season spring snow in these seriously adventure-ready sandals.
The two biggest complaints we have about the Chaco Z/Cloud 2 are necessary evils of its vast benefits. The sole, while boasting some of the best traction and stability around, is also thicker, bulkier, and heavier than most other sandals we tested. And the toe loop, while ensuring stability and security, is also far more complicated to adjust and find the perfect fit than any other sandal we've worn. We've observed this sandal over many years and find it easier to continue to adjust through many wearings than previous versions, but with its single-strap adjustment, there's no way around it &mdash; it's more complicated and sometimes more frustrating, than any other. However, if you have the determination and patience to find your sweet spot for the strap system, the Chaco Z/Cloud 2 is our ideal adventure sandal.

 BUT...these Chacos are way too heavy for long walks, and the arch is bit too high, was hurt my flat foot quite a bit

Wanted to love them, but too heavy

Better on Dry Land

 Again, I absolutely love the concept & almost everything about this perfect outdoor sandal….I just don’t get have nice things apparently bc of my low arch/flat feet.

Flat feet need not apply

No cloudy feeling

Hard to adjust

Found these to be on the narrow side, I should have sent them back!

Overall good comfortable sandals but they don't fit my foot type correctly. The arch support doesn't feel quite right and the heel strap (the only non adjustable part) is too loose. I would size down next time.

Fitting issues

A little  difficult getting the straps loosened so that they fit comfortable on my feet.

I'm glad I stuck with them.

 The fit: I'm a 7.5 wide with low arch and went with the 7 wide. Not quite wide enough as I got side blisters. The arches are pretty high and really far back near my heels which you could kinda ignore after a few days but by day 3 I noticed a funky smell

I wanted to love these at $110 but I will be returning them today.  Bought them for a 10 day trip to Hawaii with intentions of wearing them for every occasion: dressy, shopping, walking, the beach, waterfalls, rocks, and light hiking. The fit: I'm a 7.5 wide with low arch and went with the 7 wide

Stinky and awkward arch
