Awesome Chacos - This is my first pair of Chacos, but they came highly recommended. I have recently suffered some foot problems and the arch support and heel security are very comfortable. I live in Thailand, so I expect to be wearing these a great deal. So far I enjoy wearing them and I am already planning to get another pair.

Dont hike in these - I bought these shoes thinking they were good for water wear and for hiking up to the waterfall. I wore these in Hawaii on a hike up to a waterfall to swim. By the time we returned from the waterfall I had 3 or 4 blisters on both feet. Not good to hike in!!!

Super comfortable! I wear size 5.5 in sandals and had tried a 6 and they were way too big, so I decided to order the 5 from Zappos since it was the only place that I could find size 5, not to mention the great price! They were quite comfortable out of the box, with the exception of the inner part of the ankle where the straps come together, but it was a minor annoyance that eventually went away with wear. I walked around all day in these and my feet felt fine! The only complaint is that the strap is way too long once I have everything the way I want it, I have to tuck it back in and make a funky little "knot" to keep it out of the way.

Vacation Saver - I ordered these for a trip to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon. The medium width was too narrow. I had to exchange for wide width on VERY short notice and over a holiday weekend. Zappos promised delivery on Wednesday, they showed up on Tuesday. Outstanding service! I needed a sandal that allowed me to hike and river wade, this sandal was perfect. So comfortable that I wore it exclusively for 5 days... ditching my custom orthotics. I have severe foot pain (surgery scheduled in two days) and these shoes allowed me to have a last hurrah before being out of commission for the next six weeks. Also, found a Zappos Outlet store in Las Vegas... what an unexpected and pleasant surprise!

Pretty amazing!!! I am a hairstylist and tired of wearing tennis shoes with orthotics, until I found Chacos. I purchased 2 pairs this summer and I recently ordered my third pair. Z/1 is the winner and I wear them with socks while I work. I am very happy with them.

I have two pair of Chaco Z-1 sandals, which I have loved for years and wear everywhere, even on mountain hikes because they have more arch support and comfort than any other shoe, including my hiking boots. So, I ordered another pair recently from Zappos (just another color, aqua marine), and it has a different sole (which I did want to try), but it is not comfortable at all. The strap is far too long, the sole has little arch support, the shoe does not conform to my foot, and my feet actually hurt when I wear them. I was wondering if these were imitation Chacos, or if perhaps Chaco sold to a new company and they are now making a look-a-like shoe? I cannot explain it, and cannot explain why these feel nothing at all like my two other beloved sandals. I will wear these for looks only, but not for hiking or outdoor use (as they were intended). It is a shame!

More than I hoped for - I have been wanting these shoes for at least a year and recently bought them before a trip. They were virtually brand new when I went on a four day vacation that included a lot of walking. By the end of the vacation they hurt a bit in a few spots, but I was expecting that in the breaking in process. I would recommend buying "wide" shoes if your feet are at all wider than normal.

Cute boots! I fell in love with these because they had a similar silhouette to a much more expensive pair of boots that I am crazy about. They are comfortable since they have a very low, stable heel. Yet there is almost no ankle support here. The quality of the boot is sort of average. The leather looks like it might not hold up. I had a choice between these (the more expensive boot) and I decided to go with the pricier brand (Via Spiga) and Im glad I did because the quality of those is vastly better. If you want the latest trend and dont want to pay a lot for it, then these are great.

Comfortable shoe! I was very pleased to find that the straps on this shoe are completely adjustable. As I wear a narrow, I was able to snug them up to my size. At first I snugged the straps too tight but once I loosened them a tad, I found I could wear them all day without thinking about them. The textured footbed seems a little odd at first, but is easy to get used to; and there is pretty good arch support. I always wear a sandal 1/2 size smaller than my "closed" shoe size; and these fit perfectly when I ordered an 8 instead of my usual 8 1/2. I did a little hiking in them and found them very comfortable. They stay on very well and in fact I now wear them on the treadmill instead of athletic shoes! I had tried on a Teva before buying these but there was a piece of plastic holding the straps in place near the toe that was really uncomfortable. I've had compliments on my new Chacos and have become a fan!

My summer slippers - This is my second pair of Chacos. On the weekend I put them on first thing in the morning and wear them all day. They are very supportive of my high arch and cradle my feet. They are very stable and I feel very secure walking in them. Not super stylish, but for sport sandals I prefer them over other brands. I have gotten lots of compliments on the new ones.

Chaco sandals - I LOVE these sandals! They are so comfortable for walking or just hanging out. I like them SO much better than the toe loop Chacos... much more comfortable. Thank you! Very efficient order and delivery as well! I got them a size smaller than usual. They are perfect! I usually wear a 10 or 41 European sizing, but in these, the 9 is a 41.

Best walking sandal ever! Excellent arch support. The leather patch where the two ankle straps meet irritated my foot for the first two days, however, now they fit like they were made for my feet.

Great shoe - even for those with arthritis! These shoes are GREAT! It's nice to find a pair of waterproof, sporty sandals that fit great and look cute too. I have osteoarthritis in both of my feet and needed to find a pair of sport sandals that I could wear comfortably. Chaco fit the bill. I normally wear orthotics (flat feet) and found that these sandals offer great arch support and keep my feet comfortable for long periods of time. I also have very narrow feet (wear a 9 1/2 N) and loved that you can adjust all the straps in these sandals to give you a custom fit. Although they are pricey, I feel it was money WELL SPENT! Do yourself a favor and buy a pair.

I wore these in the house and they seemed comfortable; but then had them on for a day trip and that's when I bought moleskin and completely lined the inside of the straps. Some places they still rubbed my foot and I doubled up on the moleskin. Also, being a little dense, I couldn't figure out how to adjust the straps. No directions. The great thing was my knee didn't hurt at all. I think it was due to the great arch support preventing my foot from pronating. Soooo. KNEE PAIN? FOOT PAIN? I choose no knee pain. I also took a whole size smaller. I initially ordered an 8; returned them for 7. Zappos is great and I love your service. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

The most comfortable sandal I've ever worn! I've worn Danskos exclusively for three years now (I have flat feet, bad knees, creaky hips and back), but one day a pair of Dansko sandals turned on me. I don't know if the leather was stretched out or what, but my feet were slipping and sliding all over the place during a long walk, and by the time I got home, I was in pain from head to toe. My feet, ankles, legs, knees, hips, and back hurt like crazy. I immediately went to the internet and did a search on sandals for flat feet, and Chacos came up with rave reviews. I placed an order right then and there, and I received my sandals from Zappos the very next day. When I put them on, at first they felt so strange to me. The heels are much lower than Danskos, (by the way, I still plan on wearing Danskos in the colder months, but as far as sandals go, from now on, I'm going with Chacos.) The straps and the treaded sole took some getting used to, but within a day or two, I was completely comfortable in these sandals and very, very happy to be pain free! I think the next pair of Chacos I buy will be the model with the toe loop for a little extra security, and perhaps I'll get a pair of their flip-flops, too, because they like very cute, and I think people with flat and wider feet should have some more fashionable options (I wear Danskos for comfort, but let's face it, they aren't the sexiest shoes out there. Chaco's are kind of sporty, kind of hippy-ish, but I can deal with that.) I can't vouch for the other Chaco models because I haven't tried them yet, but if they're half as good as the Unaweeps I own now, that says a lot! Also, the treaded sole turned out to be a great feature because there are no annoying and ugly visible foot prints left inside the shoe. I really like these sandals. Huzzah!

My Chaco's - I have been wearing this shoe for about 6 years. My original ones have hiked all over the world and gradually worn down so much I felt I must replace them. Having difficult feet I am delighted to have something so comfortable for walking in.

Anatomically perfect! Chaco has done their homework before they put this shoe together! The straps are perfectly placed; just make sure you adjust them correctly. It is a good idea to go to Chacos website (Chacousa.com) to make sure you get the right size and also find out how to adjust them. It is really very simple, and the concept works like a charm! The Unaweeps are both rugged and good-looking, and you can definitely walk all day and every day in them. I have had mine for 2 weeks now, and find that I am using them all the time. The Jupiter color looks really great, I am really happy with these sandals! I also like leather sandals, but if you accidentally get rained on, these are much better because the leather becomes uncomfortable and mushy when wet. Also, if you have any kind of heel pain, the Chacos will take it away; -- they are shaped after your foot, more so than any other sandals I've seen. GREAT SANDALS!

Supportive, adjustable, durable walking sandal - I got these because my dad has worn his pair every summer for 5 years, and says, "As far as I can tell they're still good as new." They're waterproof and the strap is adjustable. You can wear them with socks if you don't mind looking like a nerd it's very comfortable. The contoured sole gives great support for my whole foot, especially arch and heel. The soles are thick and seemed heavy at first, but I quickly got used to that. It is a slight inconvenience to have to adjust the strap every time I put them on (I can't set the fit and leave it because the buckle is the kind you have to pull to tighten), but it's worth it for the custom fit. At first the side strap irritated the side of my ankle, but I tightened the rest of the straps a little and the problem went away. If you're looking for a good walking sandal, I recommend these.

New to Chaco and slowly becoming a fan - I tried on several styles of Chaco sandals, but the Unaweep was the most comfortable. I did not like them at first because they are not soft soled, but after fitting the straps and wearing them on the elliptical trainer this morning I am very happy with this purchase. While on the elliptical, my feet did not become painfully numb as in my other shoes and the arch support is my favorite part of this shoe. Zappos patiently and generously helped me find the right fit and style by letting me try them on and send them back until the fit was perfect. Excellent service and this shoe is a perfect fit in the exact size that I wear, it is narrow enough to suit my skinny and bony feet, and it is wonderfully supportive. THANKS ZAPPOS!

Best walking sandal ever! Excellent arch support. The leather patch where the two ankle straps meet irritated my foot for the first two days, however, now they fit like they were made for my feet.

Great shoe - even for those with arthritis! These shoes are GREAT! It's nice to find a pair of waterproof, sporty sandals that fit great and look cute too. I have osteoarthritis in both of my feet and needed to find a pair of sport sandals that I could wear comfortably. Chaco fit the bill. I normally wear orthotics (flat feet) and found that these sandals offer great arch support and keep my feet comfortable for long periods of time. I also have very narrow feet (wear a 9 1/2 N) and loved that you can adjust all the straps in these sandals to give you a custom fit. Although they are pricey, I feel it was money WELL SPENT! Do yourself a favor and buy a pair.

I wore these in the house and they seemed comfortable; but then had them on for a day trip and that's when I bought moleskin and completely lined the inside of the straps. Some places they still rubbed my foot and I doubled up on the moleskin. Also, being a little dense, I couldn't figure out how to adjust the straps. No directions. The great thing was my knee didn't hurt at all. I think it was due to the great arch support preventing my foot from pronating. Soooo. KNEE PAIN? FOOT PAIN? I choose no knee pain. I also took a whole size smaller. I initially ordered an 8; returned them for 7. Zappos is great and I love your service. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

The most comfortable sandal I've ever worn! I've worn Danskos exclusively for three years now (I have flat feet, bad knees, creaky hips and back), but one day a pair of Dansko sandals turned on me. I don't know if the leather was stretched out or what, but my feet were slipping and sliding all over the place during a long walk, and by the time I got home, I was in pain from head to toe. My feet, ankles, legs, knees, hips, and back hurt like crazy. I immediately went to the internet and did a search on sandals for flat feet, and Chacos came up with rave reviews. I placed an order right then and there, and I received my sandals from Zappos the very next day. When I put them on, at first they felt so strange to me. The heels are much lower than Danskos, (by the way, I still plan on wearing Danskos in the colder months, but as far as sandals go, from now on, I'm going with Chacos.) The straps and the treaded sole took some getting used to, but within a day or two, I was completely comfortable in these sandals and very, very happy to be pain free! I think the next pair of Chacos I buy will be the model with the toe loop for a little extra security, and perhaps I'll get a pair of their flip-flops, too, because they like very cute, and I think people with flat and wider feet should have some more fashionable options (I wear Danskos for comfort, but let's face it, they aren't the sexiest shoes out there. Chaco's are kind of sporty, kind of hippy-ish, but I can deal with that.) I can't vouch for the other Chaco models because I haven't tried them yet, but if they're half as good as the Unaweeps I own now, that says a lot! Also, the treaded sole turned out to be a great feature because there are no annoying and ugly visible foot prints left inside the shoe. I really like these sandals. Huzzah!

My Chaco's - I have been wearing this shoe for about 6 years. My original ones have hiked all over the world and gradually worn down so much I felt I must replace them. Having difficult feet I am delighted to have something so comfortable for walking in.

Anatomically perfect! Chaco has done their homework before they put this shoe together! The straps are perfectly placed; just make sure you adjust them correctly. It is a good idea to go to Chacos website (Chacousa.com) to make sure you get the right size and also find out how to adjust them. It is really very simple, and the concept works like a charm! The Unaweeps are both rugged and good-looking, and you can definitely walk all day and every day in them. I have had mine for 2 weeks now, and find that I am using them all the time. The Jupiter color looks really great, I am really happy with these sandals! I also like leather sandals, but if you accidentally get rained on, these are much better because the leather becomes uncomfortable and mushy when wet. Also, if you have any kind of heel pain, the Chacos will take it away; -- they are shaped after your foot, more so than any other sandals I've seen. GREAT SANDALS!

Supportive, adjustable, durable walking sandal - I got these because my dad has worn his pair every summer for 5 years, and says, "As far as I can tell they're still good as new." They're waterproof and the strap is adjustable. You can wear them with socks if you don't mind looking like a nerd it's very comfortable. The contoured sole gives great support for my whole foot, especially arch and heel. The soles are thick and seemed heavy at first, but I quickly got used to that. It is a slight inconvenience to have to adjust the strap every time I put them on (I can't set the fit and leave it because the buckle is the kind you have to pull to tighten), but it's worth it for the custom fit. At first the side strap irritated the side of my ankle, but I tightened the rest of the straps a little and the problem went away. If you're looking for a good walking sandal, I recommend these.

Very comfortable!!! I bought these shoes to wear on a beach vacation but I wear them a lot because they are so comfortable. This shoe has a lot of support for your foot yet so breathable! I usually wear a 6.5-7 in ladies but ordered a 6 and they fit perfectly!

New to Chaco and slowly becoming a fan - I tried on several styles of Chaco sandals, but the Unaweep was the most comfortable. I did not like them at first because they are not soft soled, but after fitting the straps and wearing them on the elliptical trainer this morning I am very happy with this purchase. While on the elliptical, my feet did not become painfully numb as in my other shoes and the arch support is my favorite part of this shoe. Zappos patiently and generously helped me find the right fit and style by letting me try them on and send them back until the fit was perfect. Excellent service and this shoe is a perfect fit in the exact size that I wear, it is narrow enough to suit my skinny and bony feet, and it is wonderfully supportive. THANKS ZAPPOS!
