BEST SANDAL EVER!!

Mar 27, 2018

I bought my first pair at the Telluride Bluegrass festival more than 10 years ago and they have been my staple summer sandal!!! The rubber where the heel strap is cracked and I'm afraid with too much wear it was going to break!! So I've ordered another pair which arrived today!!! And I'm so excited to put them on and enjoy the outdoors in my comfy chacon!!! Thanks again for producing such an awesome sandal!!!!

Great shoe, straps are a little long for me

Mar 15, 2018

These have been great to have, they feel very comfortable on my feet and I'm excited to spend a ton of time in them this summer. I have pretty narrow feet for a size 11, so once I have fully strapped my foot into the sandal, there is quite a bit of excess strap coming off of the sandal. That would be my only critique. Other than that I am extremely excited about them.

Awesome Service

Mar 06, 2018

I have a pair of 10 year old Z/1Classics that I sent in for new soles since the tread had finally worn down. Chaco replaced the soles for free because there was some minor glue delamination of the sole. They are now as good as new and I expect I'll get another 10 years out of them. Thank you Chaco for outstanding customer service and standing by the quality of your product.

so huge and bulky and heavy and stiff

Feb 25, 2018

the stiffest heaviest most infexible shoe ive had. it feels like walking on plastic high heel sandals. these would be great if they had any give no heel drop and less stack height. really bad for feet health and back health in current configuration.

Chaco's reply

The extreme durability of our sandals can come with a little break in time if you are not used to them. If we can help please give the team a call at 888.211.1908. Thank you.

Dedicated Z-2 Man

Dec 15, 2017

I've had a pair of Z/2 sandals for some time and love them. In that light, I ordered a pair of Z/1s with high expectations. No big toe loop, the classic Chaco and all that. However, try as I may, I couldn't make them work for my feet and had to send them back. I'm still a solid citizen of Chaco Nation, but have come to this conclusion: For some people one style or the other works, but not necessarily both.
