EmmyGLove My LowdownsThese Chacos have been amazing! I recently had a sports injurty and the lowdowns actually give good arch support, especially for being a sandal. Very impressed and pleased with my purchase!

LoganMQTNot up to my Chaco standardsI have been wearing these for about two months and am sincerely disappointed in them. Went with one starts because the color (port) is delightful and the footbed is soft BUT the strap simply sucks. They never stay tight making them almost dangerous, I slipped off the shoe bed in a sprinkle because they bottoms get slick when wet and the strap had become loose....
I have owned three pairs of traditional Chacos and have worn each pair until the bottom is smooth and holes develop (it take years and well wear to do this!). I purchased these because I broke my leg this winter, needed a new pair of chaos, and knew I would not be quite as active as normal summers so I went with something softer. I switched back to an old pair of chaos almost immediately. My Chacos with holes and a slick bottom are more reliable than these.
I recognize these are more of a fashion shoe than a durable one, but my leather Chaco thong sandals are sturdier than these. I can't even go to the grocery store without retightening these 3x's let alone walk the dog.
It took me almost two months of frustrating wear to write this review, I just wanted to love them. From here out I will stick to traditional Z straps.

Chaco's reply
We’re bummed to hear that this style didn’t work out. Please give us a call at 888-211-1908 to see if we can help.
Carrie99not a citizen of chaco nationHeard so many good things about Chaco's from my outdoorsy friends. It's my first summer season with a dog and I walk her multiple miles a day, so I needed to get a few solid pairs of sandals to walk her in. The low-downs were a good option because I figured they'd be perfect for walking the dog, would wash off easily, and be cute/low-key enough to wear in social settings.
I originally ordered a 7 (I'm usually a 7 or 7.5) but the footbed and straps were seemingly too small. So I sent them back and exchanged for an 8. The 8s seem to fit, but I CANNOT seem to break these shoes in. Honestly, every single time I wear them, even for 15 minutes, they give me blisters on the soft inside part of my arch. A friend told me that's the "price you pay" for Chaco's, but I already paid the ACTUAL price which was more than any of the other brands I considered.
To add insult to injury, the shoes were damaged within 3 wears. I went to take them off and one strap wouldn't come undone. Turns out, the spikes on the underside of the buckle had poked right through the woven strap. It's repeatedly happened since, so now I have to be extra careful when I take them off. I'm not wearing them wrong or doing anything in them except walking, slowly.
Basically: a huge disappointment. I will probably sell these to get back some of my money.

DuckyA dressy Chaco, yet still good for activity. I tried this style on along with another that I ended up buying. I couldn’t forget these though and ended up buying them a month later. Now I have two pairs of chacos!! I’ve never had them before and was ecstatic when I found out they were made in my home state—MICHIGAN! Woo hoo! Can’t wait to save up and by a third style. I wear a size 8 in the Z/2 style and ordered the same for these Lowdown’s. I think I actually could’ve used a 7 in them though bc the style is a little wider, I think. I’m trying to make them work. Have already recommended Chacos to several of my friends and will continue to be a supporter!
