Chaco Women's Z1 Classic Sandals

Chacos are just great! I have tried other less expensive copy cat brands but they just dissapoint. These are made well and hold up for YEARS. My last pair was 10 years old before the bottom finally split. I wear them everyday for everything I do in the spring and summer months. I have also been know to put socks on and wear them into the fall in Wisconsin. They offer great support, wonderful hiking sandals, perfect for biking and are also good water shoes. HIGHLY recommend these and will never bother buying other brands again. They are comfortable right out of the box with NO break in period. LOVE how the straps pull out on the front and sides so if you have wide feet, the straps dont cut into your skin. Never get a blister wearing these. They dress up well also.

I had never worn chaos. But, I have Plantar Fasciitis and was going to the beach for half of July. A friend who also has a foot issue told me to buy these. I'm SOOOO glad I did. I wore these every day and my foot never hurt! I'm a 7.5 but bought an 8 first. Then, repurchased in a 7. Perfect fit! My friend who recommended these bought my 8, lol! Great arch support, quality and comfort. Straps adjust perfectly to fit. Definitely worth every penny. And, the color is sooo pretty... goes with everything!

Comfortable and cute. Quite sturdy and perfect for travel as they double as a water shoe

If you travel and/or hike a lot, Chacos are really a game changer. I'm a huge fan of the durability, versatility, and comfort of these particular sandals. I've done several full day long hikes in them with no comfort issues at all. The traction isn't the same as a hiking boot, but it's pretty good for most terrain- especially if you're doing a lot of water crossing. They're great for travel because they can function as a shower shoe or casual shoe and are great for rainy days. The only issue I ever have is that eventually the two-piece sole separates and must be reglued. However, I am very hard on my sandals and it has taken several years for my previous pairs to do this. This particular model has a VERY long strap that hangs low on my average-sized ankles.

I ordered these to try out for an upcoming trip to Europe where I expect to be doing a lot of city walking. I will bring gym shoes too, but wanted a sturdy sandal for anything near water or if it's especially hot. I have tried Chaco Z2s in the past, but hated how the toe strap pushed my big toe down while the rest of my toes were pulling up on the relatively heavy show when lifting my foot off the ground. These Z1s were MUCH better in that way - though still quite heavy for a sandal, the placement of the straps isn't awkwardly impacting my gate. Speaking of the straps, something I love about Chacos is how adjustable they are - this is great for feet of all sizes and widths! And with the durable sole, I have no concerns about my feet hurting after a lot of walking. They are unfortunately still one of the uglier shoes on the market, in my opinion, and that doesn't seem to get better despite the color you select (though I'll add the muted clay color is true to the photos). Ultimately, they're a sturdy, good quality utilitarian shoe and worth having a pair for summer adventures. Vs Teva and Keen, they feel much more solid and have way better arch support, which is important to me.

Let me start off by saying I've been looking for years for the perfect sandal and have finally found it!! I dislike wearing shoes but traditional sandals don't have good support. Ive gone through atleast one pair of sandals a year, even the expensive "wear all day" sandals fall apart the same as cheap flip flops. I had a pair of Tevas before trying these and I loved them but they fell apart in less than a year which is very sad since they were $100 lol. Desperate I tried these because why not? These are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn!! They are durable, have great support, fine in water, and they are so cute!! It's impossible to find all of those points in one sandal but here we are! I love how the straps work, so creative and no Velcro which is a huge plus! I am very satisfied but I should note I've only had these about a month so hopefully they hold together as my main shoe for more than a year. Although at the price point I'm ok with them not lasting forever, I'd happily buy another pair.

I'll say I don't enjoy the breaking them in part but, overall they are so cute the color and the way they fit. This is my second pair I own and just loved my black ones that I wanted to try another color. The quality is great and so easy to slip on and off.

Doesn’t fit my fan shaped feet in any way whatsoever, even wide sizes

This is my second pair , my last ones lasted 7 years

3年前に友人に勧められ、購入しました。 スポーツサンダルが流行り始めた頃でしたが、他のメーカー脱ぎ履きがしやすく見た目もかわいいので即決でした。土踏まずのサポートがしっかりしているので長く歩いても疲れにくいところが良いです。ゴム部分で調整できるので、外反母趾の私でも問題なく履けます。 また、水濡れにも強く、これを履いて雨期のカンボジアに行きましたが、どんなところでも気にせずに歩き回れました。 使い始めて3年目ですが、全くへたる様子もないため、この夏も沢山履きたいと思います。

I ordered a 9W but these are definitely not the correct size. The Amazon label shows 9W, but the Chacos label underneath clearly shows 9M. Compared side by side with my older ones, same model in 9W, these are shorter and narrower. Best to order directly from Chacos website as the sizing is not correctly advertised through the Amazon orders
