In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating the LUV shared between Chaconians and their sandals! Take a look at some of our favorite LUV notes sent to our ReChaco team.

We always knew Chacos were durable, but this Chaconian shares how hers have stuck by her side through the ups and downs of dating.

Happy New Year! ‘Tis the season where we reflect on the fun we’ve had all year, and look forward to the goodness that 2012 brings.

Chaconians have a special bond with their sandals. From world travels to daily wear, their sandals are by their side day in and day out. For many Chaconians, sending their sandals in for repair is a major event—the longest they have been apart from their beloved Chacos.

A conversation with Chaco Product Director, Brandan Hill, on Chaco’s Fall and Winter product line.

As we stride into the cooler months, we’d like to introduce you to our new Fall 2011 boot and shoe collection! Built from the LUVSEAT platform with the same fit and feel of your beloved sandals, our new closed-toe kicks will keep your feet supported and body properly aligned for year-round adventure.

With summer winding down, Chaconians of all ages are thinking back-to-school. To help you get the right fit for your little Chaconians this fall, we developed a downloadable, printable, hang-on-the-fridge-able shoe size chart to measure their feet.

A flourishing box canyon nestled in the San Juan mountains and atop the San Miguel river has been taken over by colorful rhythms and dancing festivarians.  Day ONE of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival has proven to be the busiest and biggest of them all, breaking all attendance records since it began thirty-eight years ago.

The Chaco booth is positioned conveniently between the New Belgium booth, offering delicious cool brew at any hour of the day and Leave No Trace, a long standing partner of Chaco.  Lesson ONE of attending a high altitude summer time festival is stay hydrated, so with a fresh brew in hand and layers of sunscreen covering every ounce of exposed skin, we met day one with grace and enthusiasm.  To the tunes of the bagpipes, the gates opened at 10am.  Festival attendees sprinted their hearts out to obtain the best spot for the day, leaving those non-sprinters in the dust and without choice seats.  Regardless, smiles abound like the mountain waterfalls that surround us, gushing and overflowing with richness.

As a main sponsor, alongside New Belgium Brewing, the 38th Annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival - June 16-19, 2011 - is going to be the highlight of our CHACO summer! We will be selling product with the help of Jagged Edge, a local retailer, and will have ReChaco on site for custom re-webbing, quick fixes and to bring a little more manual 'awe' into your life! So come dance with us for a weekend filled with inspiration, virtuosity, and acoustic adventures at 8,750'.

We hear that the Arkansas river is more than crankin' so for those looking for a good time in a boat, come join us at the FIBArk Whitewater Festival, June 15-19 in Salida, CO! We will have Chaco staff on site to dance, sing, laugh, paddle, toss a disc, drink a brew and you fill in the blank ... with you! For more details visit the FIBArk Whitewater Festival website.
