Chaco Men's Z/2 Classic Sandals

I am lucky. I have arches - not low arches, nor high arches. This makes the toe loop version of this sandal fine for my purposes. If you have low arches, the chaco classic has a pronounced arch support and has been reported as painful by those with low arches. Meanwhile, high arches can be punished by the toe loop - this feature adds much-needed stability when walking down steep inclines or in wet conditions, but has been noted to "strangle" the toe after a time. This is not too bad unless you have high arches - the arch support is ideal, but the toe loop has been reported to tighten much more quickly.For high arch individuals who want to try out chacos, the Z1 is your better bet. Same sandal, no toe loop. For low arch, something the a Bedrock Cairn Evo or Teva Original might be more what you need. If in doubt, a podiatrist should be consulted. I'm some random internet guy and I'm serving hot opinions, not medical advice.I love this sandal, though. It feels so supportive and resilient. I have put miles into it and had few of the issues people talk about when first using this sandal. That is because I wore them slowly, building up to a walk after a week of wearing them at home and in the yard. These are major hiking boot soles with straps and absolutely no insoles to cushion them - they need a little time to soften up and there is no padding or other material to hide this fact.Do not buy these days before you go hiking in them. Your feet won't be ready (unless you already use Chacos) and the sandals won't be ready.Assuming you take the softly, softly approach to ramping up, these are sandals that you can spend the entire day walking. They are grippy, airy, quick-drying, and generally comfortable. I love them and I am a Chaco convert.

This is my first pair of Chacos and I couldn’t be happier! I went with all black, my size, and the toe strap. There is debate on whether or not the toe strap rocks or not, and I tell you this now reader - the toe strap is the shizzle! I honestly got it because of the added style the toe strap offers, but honestly out of other sandals I’ve worn without toe straps I do see a significant improvement in functionality. First off, they don’t flip or flop which is lovely. Secondly, they are more secure to your foot so walking in them is easier as they stay in place. They take 2-3 days to break in, but once you wear them around the house for a bit you will be good to go! I had to get use to walking in sandals because I’ve been a flip flop guy for so long, but after a couple days I got my footing and am very satisfied with this purchase. I love the toe strap - and I think if you’re looking for an awesome fitting sandal with some personality then get it! If you’ve been debating - get it. Worse case scenario is you can also pull the strap for the toe down and not wear it. Really happy with my first pair of Chacos!

I love my Chacos! These are my 5th pair. I got black to go with anything. The straps make it easy to eliminate rubbing. Not everyone likes the style, but I wear them for comfort. They give a hiker vibe and are versatile enough to wear hiking or anywhere else.

I bought them in size 11 after reading reviews that said if you are 10.5 order an 11.They arrived the night before I left the country for a trip where I would be walking 6-15km per day.My boots, shoes, and every other footwear that I own is 10.5. I put these sandals on and on the smallest fit they don't. My pinky toe was destroyed and bleeding (Blistered and tore repeatedly) while walking. My foot got blisters all over wear straps touched. I followed the videos on how to adjust straps correctly and my wife has a pair that fits great. The toe strap was uncomfortable, the shoe is longer than my boots. If I had to guess, I would think I was shipped a size 12 or 13 with an 11's tag. They look a bit clownish on my feet. I should have tried them before leaving the country, that's on me. I should have ordered in advance of my trip to leave room for mistakes.Mine are far too dirty after the first use to try to return for a different size, even if I could, I'm out of the US now and won't be back until the end of the return window.I understand it might be useful to get dimensions of the shoe, so that others can make informed decisions about it. I don't have them with me at the moment.For what it is worth, my wife ordered a half size up and hers fit perfect and she loves them.

Best sandals ever! I own several pair, love these they are so comfy!

Strap was long for my foot size 11.

The fit is great for my feet - I have hammer toes and bunions, and so although my bunions might rub against the end of the big toe strap a little, I like that it pulls my big toe out and away from the rest of the toes. Plus the toe bed is roomier than shoes so it gives my toes room to stretch naturally. I can run in them without worry because the toe strap allows my foot to hold them when moving, unlike more traditional sandals without the big toe strap where my foot couldn’t really grasp the bottom of the sandal well when running. They also look great, according to my wife. And finally, I’d suggest sizing down as I usually wear an 8.5/9 shoe, but the 8s on these fit perfect, whereas 9s were too long.

Great fit, super comfortable to wear all day long. This is my go to sandal all year long. I love wearing this outside because of their support and rugged durability. Great choice of styles and colors. Would highly recommend.

I bought these bases on the glowing revues. I followed all the instructions regarding strap positioning. Within 1K all the straps move requiring constant re-adjustment and I had rubs and blisters in places I’ve never known before including the bottom of my great toe where the skin was completely shredded. All in all a complete waste of money

Las sandalias se ven muy bien, las puedes usar para realizar actividades al aire libre, ajustan bien, son comodas y dan soporte al arco del pie. Son realmente versátiles.

Unique looking sandal 👍🏼

足の甲からカガトを回して固定する紐が一本ではなく、またサンダル後部左右から出ている紐に縫製固定され、履く足の形を限定してしまう。もしこの紐がこのサンダル後部からでている紐に固定されることなく、通すだけだったら履きやすいサンダルになっただろう。残念！！！！

Product was fine, ordered an EU 41.5 W but instead got delivered an EU 42 W so would obviously be too large for me.
