A paradise of casual comfort. I have barely taken this shoe off since it arrived and then only reluctantly. It is possibly the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn and that's high praise coming from a Birkenstock girl. There are only two things I don't like about them, the plastic footbed, which does not breathe, thereby creating a sweaty foot problem (a small price to pay for big comfort), and the overall look of the shoe is a little masculine. I would love to see this shoe with a leather sole and more feminine shape and buckle design.

Great, comfortable shoe!! I normally wear a 7 1/2 or 8 and I took a 7. The first pair I got regular and the straps were barely long enough. The next pair I got 7Wide and the straps are longer but same shoe base. Perfect!! Great walking, street or sand!!

Worth the Money - Read all reviews for water sandals for a trip to Jamaica. Decided on Chaco's because of the good reviews. Some said they run big, since they don't come in 1/2 sizes ordered a size small, WRONG. They run true to size. Did Mayfields Falls in Jamaica and they were wonderful, and half the people I saw on snorkeling tours had the crossovers tan lines and had raves for them.

Ecological, Comfortable, and Attractive - This is my second pair of Unaweep Z/2 Chacos. My first pair was an 8 men’s, as the store did not carry a women's wide. This pair, a 10 wide women's fits just as well. The Atlantis strapping is beautiful; the arch support is very supportive without being too firm. I have owned my first pair of Chaco Z/2s for over three years and they get a great deal of wear as my daily footwear and light hiking shoes. I have had them resoled twice and restrapped by Chaco for a reasonable price and terrific workmanship. The Z/2 is very comfortable, once you get used to the toe loop. I need the extra stability for hiking and cycling. It is very durable, and as a sport sandal goes, stylish and actually kind of sexy and feminine. I used to wear Birkenstocks because they are so good for your feet, but I hate the rather clumpy look of the original sandals. I feel I get the same sort of support from the Chaco Z/2, but it is a more versatile shoe, great for walking everywhere. The only downside to this shoe is that because the shoe bed is a polymer, the shoes and my feet stink terribly after a couple of days of wearing them. However, these shoes are completely waterproof and I clean them down with baking soda and a brush in the tub or wash them in the machine. A very durable, ecological shoe because of its ability to be resoled and restrapped. Zappos did a great job of shipping this shoe. Kudos to Zappos!

My feet are as flat as they come and are becoming more painful as I age. This is the ONLY SANDAL I can wear. I have to use custom orthotics for all other shoes and can't wear anything non supportive for any length of time. Even standing bare foot is usually painful. I do not have troubles with the strap strangling my toe like I have read about, in either double strap/single strap Chaco style. I will be buying many more pairs of these shoes, THEY ARE WONDERFUL! Worth every cent. Zappos is awesome because of the free shipping/return you can order one pair and if the size is incorrect simply return and try again. I hope the Chacos help your feet like they have helped mine!

You’ll love them - I pulled these out of the box and wore them to an amusement park they felt great. I have heard the straps loosen as you wear them, I haven't had that problem. I was afraid the ribbon would get dirty fast. The whole sole can be dusty and the ribbons stay clean.

Wonderful for flat feet! I have the flattest feet my podiatrist has ever seen, and I used to wear Birkenstocks religiously until the Dr. told me to find shoes that hold my feet together more. I have had large flat feet my whole life and have never found a good pair of open sandals until I found these. I absolutely love these and they provide just as much support and comfort as a well loved pair of Birks. You will not be sorry if you have flat feet and are in search of a sandal that won't kill your feet. They're durable and you can replace the worn down or broken parts of the shoe. Definitely a good investment!

I've had my Chaco Z/2s for over 6 years now. I wore them nonstop all summer as a camp counselor during each of those 6 years and I haven't had to resole them yet. They are by far my favorite shoes of all time. I got my shoes when Chaco only had about 3 colors and 2 styles for women to choose from, and since they've expanded their line, I have purchased several more styles and colors. As a music teacher on a cart (I travel from room to room daily) who has fallen arches, I wear these whenever it's seasonally acceptable and my feet don't ever bother me. I wore them to hike the Virginia section of the AT, I wear them in the water, I wear them to exercise...you get the idea. The only problem I have had with them is that after years of wearing them everywhere, including in the Chesapeake Bay, there is some sand inside the soles that keeps me from adjusting the toe strap if it feels too tight. However, it's nothing that couldn't be fixed by resoling.

They're fine, but I don't love them - If I had it to do over, I'd probably look elsewhere. The sandals do offer good support and stand up to hours of walking, but the straps need constant adjustment and if they are not adjusted just right, they rub after awhile. They also tend to kick up dirt and gravel if you're on a dirt path, which then gets stuck on the footbed and one's foot. They look fine, maybe even good in a crunchy granola kind of way. I like them, they serve me well, but I don't love them… and for the price, I feel like I should.

Even after reading all the reviews I had to give these a try. After "playing" with the strap for over 1/2 hour, I gave up and sent them back. I could never find the right comfort level and they were too expensive to sit in my closet. The concept is cool – it just didn't work for me. I have a high instep and lots of heel problems. Zappos is wonderful; returns w/o question and they make it so easy. Been shopping here since 2005 and will continue.

Stays secure - Mixed review of Chaco. Love the way it stays secure on foot, never sloppy. Good for walking trails, but not all day. I wish for a little more cushion, and the diamond patterned footbed can irritate feet after a while. The other problem is the strap is too long and would drag on the ground if I didn't tuck it somewhere. Overall for all day wear I'd prefer a good pair of walking shoes unless it's really hot outside, then this sandal would be better. They are pricey so unless I found them on sale, would probably not buy them again.

So uncomfortable! These are horrible shoes! The adjustment doesn't stay adjusted, although I've tried many times and made sure it seems secure...Like someone else said, as you walk in them, the toe area gets tighter and tighter no matter how you had it adjusted, and by the end of just a 1/2 hour walk, your toes and upper feet have deep red strap marks on them. The footbed is also SO uncomfortable! It's way too hard, there's no give at all, and the criss-cross pattern rubs horribly, even if I put them on tight so my foot shouldn't move around, my foot still moves ever so slightly and rubs. I get blisters if I wear them for an hour or more, unless I wear them really loose, and that's no good for most active activities. I also have a pair of Teva’s that I love, and I just bought these to have another color of sandal, but geez, I can't wear them for any active things, which is what they should be used for. I only wear them on very light grocery shopping trips, since my feet can't even stand a full day in them. Don't buy Chaco’s - try Teva’s or something else.

The everywhere shoe - This is the shoe I wear when I don't know where the day will take me. I am comfortable in them all day and they support my feet well. They are lightweight, but often too clunky looking to wear with a skirt. I am usually a size 8, but a 7 fits me.

Great shoe! Great arch support and good adjustability (the video on the Chaco’s website helps). I normally wear an 8 but had to send those back and get a 7. Good customer service there...I called Zappos and was told the regular Chaco "flips" were sized smaller than the more heavy duty models like I wanted. This proved to be true. I can wear these all day right out of the box.

My second pair... and counting. I recently ordered these to replace a pair I had worn out - the exact same style and color as the first. They were very sturdy, but I put them through the paces by literally wearing them around the world and the sole eventually split (the straps were fine and intact). I walked 512 miles across northern Spain last summer and wore my old Chacos about half the time. Some days I would walk 15 or 16 miles in just the Chacos and my feet would be fine at the end of the day - no blisters at all, just some mighty impressive calluses. They do stink a bit if you get them wet, but overall I couldn't ask for a better trail-to-restaurant-to-lounging-around-the-hostel shoe. I love a wide shoe with good arch support, so this shoe had me from Hello.

Love them! Chacos are wonderful!!! I've had many pairs of Tevas in the past, but would ditch them in a second for Chaco. They have excellent arch support and are completely adjustable so they fit my narrow foot quite well. I own this pair plus another style (which strangle my toe) but I love them both!

Chaco Sport Sandal - Great, great shoe. Exactly what I was looking for - something I can wear all day in comfort. They are very sporty looking like you might be kayaking though I do wear them with dresses and skirts. Very comfy (I wore them right away for long walks in the city, but I got a blister by the little toe of one foot. I might have adjusted the straps wrong because I readjusted and it seems better. Comes in wide.

These are the best for high arches! I have posterior tibial tendonitis and these sandals feel better on my feet than when I wear my custom-made orthotics with my walking shoes...I have high arches and these shoes fit right up there and support my feet perfectly. I am so happy with my Chacos - I never take them off.

Not for me... I had high hopes for this shoe, but I'm returning it. The good; - The color (Razz) is beautiful. I love the way the shoe looks, and the thick sole. - The straps in front are fully adjustable, including the toe loop. You just pull on them, and more strap comes out of the sole. Very cool design. Also the front straps are very soft, not the hard nylon that Tevas tend to have. The problems: - My feet tend to be a little wide - I'm between a B and a C width. I find that the footbed on the C width I ordered is no wider than the B width in the other Chacos I ordered. - For this kind of sandal, these are very heavy. - The big problem for me is that the strap towards the ankle that holds the adjustable strap to the shoe is extremely rough - I couldn't even wear the shoe to walk across a room, let alone try to wear them in. I'm not sure why Chaco's would put something so rough on a shoe and expect it to be against human skin.

Great sandal!! Very comfortable sandal...finally! I usually wear Birkenstocks, so didn't know if I would like the hard sole, but the support makes up for it. The wide strap overall is comfortable, and the heel strap makes for an effortless walk. These go with jeans or shorts. I typically wear an 8.5, but ordered these in a 9 and they fit great. Worth every penny - highly recommend. Zappos shipping is amazing - best shopping web site available!!

So uncomfortable! These are horrible shoes! The adjustment doesn't stay adjusted, although I've tried many times and made sure it seems secure...Like someone else said, as you walk in them, the toe area gets tighter and tighter no matter how you had it adjusted, and by the end of just a 1/2 hour walk, your toes and upper feet have deep red strap marks on them. The footbed is also SO uncomfortable! It's way too hard, there's no give at all, and the criss-cross pattern rubs horribly, even if I put them on tight so my foot shouldn't move around, my foot still moves ever so slightly and rubs. I get blisters if I wear them for an hour or more, unless I wear them really loose, and that's no good for most active activities. I also have a pair of Teva’s that I love, and I just bought these to have another color of sandal, but geez, I can't wear them for any active things, which is what they should be used for. I only wear them on very light grocery shopping trips, since my feet can't even stand a full day in them. Don't buy Chaco’s - try Teva’s or something else.

The everywhere shoe - This is the shoe I wear when I don't know where the day will take me. I am comfortable in them all day and they support my feet well. They are lightweight, but often too clunky looking to wear with a skirt. I am usually a size 8, but a 7 fits me.

Great shoe! Great arch support and good adjustability (the video on the Chaco’s website helps). I normally wear an 8 but had to send those back and get a 7. Good customer service there...I called Zappos and was told the regular Chaco "flips" were sized smaller than the more heavy duty models like I wanted. This proved to be true. I can wear these all day right out of the box.

My second pair... and counting. I recently ordered these to replace a pair I had worn out - the exact same style and color as the first. They were very sturdy, but I put them through the paces by literally wearing them around the world and the sole eventually split (the straps were fine and intact). I walked 512 miles across northern Spain last summer and wore my old Chacos about half the time. Some days I would walk 15 or 16 miles in just the Chacos and my feet would be fine at the end of the day - no blisters at all, just some mighty impressive calluses. They do stink a bit if you get them wet, but overall I couldn't ask for a better trail-to-restaurant-to-lounging-around-the-hostel shoe. I love a wide shoe with good arch support, so this shoe had me from Hello.

Love them! Chacos are wonderful!!! I've had many pairs of Tevas in the past, but would ditch them in a second for Chaco. They have excellent arch support and are completely adjustable so they fit my narrow foot quite well. I own this pair plus another style (which strangle my toe) but I love them both!

Chaco Sport Sandal - Great, great shoe. Exactly what I was looking for - something I can wear all day in comfort. They are very sporty looking like you might be kayaking though I do wear them with dresses and skirts. Very comfy (I wore them right away for long walks in the city, but I got a blister by the little toe of one foot. I might have adjusted the straps wrong because I readjusted and it seems better. Comes in wide.

These are the best for high arches! I have posterior tibial tendonitis and these sandals feel better on my feet than when I wear my custom-made orthotics with my walking shoes...I have high arches and these shoes fit right up there and support my feet perfectly. I am so happy with my Chacos - I never take them off.

Not for me... I had high hopes for this shoe, but I'm returning it. The good; - The color (Razz) is beautiful. I love the way the shoe looks, and the thick sole. - The straps in front are fully adjustable, including the toe loop. You just pull on them, and more strap comes out of the sole. Very cool design. Also the front straps are very soft, not the hard nylon that Tevas tend to have. The problems: - My feet tend to be a little wide - I'm between a B and a C width. I find that the footbed on the C width I ordered is no wider than the B width in the other Chacos I ordered. - For this kind of sandal, these are very heavy. - The big problem for me is that the strap towards the ankle that holds the adjustable strap to the shoe is extremely rough - I couldn't even wear the shoe to walk across a room, let alone try to wear them in. I'm not sure why Chaco's would put something so rough on a shoe and expect it to be against human skin.

Chaco's are the BEST - Love the shoe! I have 6 other pair of Chaco sandals and I love them all. I suffer from lower back pain, but I can wear these all day long without being fatigued. Great shoe.

Great shoe! This is a great shoe! Everything is true to description. If you have any doubt about width... they did feel a little tight, but not uncomfortable.

Look:AMAZING - I can't say how much I love these shoes. I haven't taken them off. I wear them on light hikes, around town, to work, everywhere. Once I got the adjustment right, they fit amazingly.

Great sandal!! Very comfortable sandal...finally! I usually wear Birkenstocks, so didn't know if I would like the hard sole, but the support makes up for it. The wide strap overall is comfortable, and the heel strap makes for an effortless walk. These go with jeans or shorts. I typically wear an 8.5, but ordered these in a 9 and they fit great. Worth every penny - highly recommend. Zappos shipping is amazing - best shopping web site available!!
