Men's Thompson Slip

This is my second pair of these. The earlier pair I bought a few years ago were more comfortable and not as stiff. Also, even though I got the same size, these are tighter.

I bought these shoes because I was looking for a slip on shoe that could be worn with various clothes. I was nervous because of the negative reviews, but I've never hated a pair of Chaco shoes. The first time I wore them, they were difficult to put on, but they stretched out over time. The footbed is pretty comfortable even though it does feel thin. I will say the outsole is kind of slippery.

I have 4 pairs of Chaco shoes including Davis, Zealander, Montrose and now Thompson. Unfortunately these don’t fit like all the others. As another reviewer stated I get extreme pain at the top of my foot from wearing these. I love all my other chacos. Not sure what happened with the Thompson but the design is not functional. i did a quick jaunt around the house and thought these were workable, but then wore them out and severe pain and soreness on the top of my foot and they’ve sat in the closet since. A really sore mark after otherwise great experience with Chaco.

Fit: small and tight. Quality: ordered one in each color and both pair seem as though the leather uppers were not centered. The sole extends farther out, at different areas of each individual shoe. This may also be adding to the fit issue. One of the pairs came with a noticeable defect in the leather upper. Hard to believe these are Chacos. I live in the NE, and have been wearing Z1s for years, probably wear them 6 months out of the year. Used to own 2 pair of pedsheds, loved them. I was hoping this was the return of the Pedshed, just not a good product. Bummed.
