ChacoWomen's Z2 Classic Athletic Sandal

I Want To Wear These All Year Long
These are the shoes I am most comfortable in, too bad I live where it gets extremely cold. I ordered the Woman's Z/2 Classic Sandal in black because that is what my sister has and recommended, and I really do love them. I have owned them for over 2 years and have washed them countless times and they still look amazing. I have a very narrow foot, so mine are adjusted tightly and the strap trails a bit, so I just tuck it under; I know you can cut it off and melt the end, but I haven't done that. They came a card that gave links to video's to you can adjust them to fit your foot, those were helpful. I can't wait for spring so I can start wearing these again.

Just as I remember
Had a few pairs of chacos back in the day and decided this summer was the time to get a new pair. Same great shoes. Takes a few tries to get the straps right but super comfy.

Fits for wide feet, but not tall arches
The straps at the front of the foot are not adjustable. If you have a high arch, they will dig into your feet. I was not able wear them due to this.

Not comfortable
They did not fit me well, the shoe fit but the strapping was loose on the heel and I had to tighten all the way up and all the extra slack was in the way and hanging behind the shoe. The shoe itself was not comfortable at all the arch in the middle was hard to get used to, also the strapping on the right by the pinky put pressure which made it uncomfortable and the toe strap was off making it more uncomfortable and just not the right fit and placement.

If they fit you will never want to take them off. Try sizing DOWN not up. Don't buy your first pair online.
Pair one, Z2 with the new sole. I'm a solid 7.5, so I sized up to 8 like Chaco says. The toe strap tightened as I walked. Every 50 feet, I had to stop and adjust my straps. Chaco says it's a "known issue for some people" and "easily fixable" so they do it for free! Except for the $20 I had to pay in shipping and the 2.5 weeks I had to wait. And they still tighten as I walk. And hey, Chaco, if this is a known issue, have you thought about not selling shoes with a known issue that is "easily fixable?" Like maybe you could "easily fix" it BEFORE you sell them?In the meantime, I bought a pair of ZX1s. This time, I sized DOWN. They fit perfectly, and no spontaneous strap tightening! But then one day it drizzled in Seattle (that happens occasionally). Those new soles are SLIPPERY on wet sidewalks! I was terrified the entire four blocks. They also just did not feel very attached to my foot. Sort of the opposite of a flip-flop.Today I exchanged pair two for Z2 NPF Yellowstones, also in 7. Walked about a mile and a half home. No toe strap tightening! No discomfort! In fact, extreme comfort! Great support. I don't want to take them off.The first pair I bought here. Thankfully, I used promotional credit and they were on sale. I can't wear them and I can't return them. If you have never worn Chacos, buy them from a place where you can return. I bought my second pair which I exchanged for my third at a local outdoor coop.

I highly recommend, especially if you want comfort, ruggedness, and durability
These are extremely well-made sandals- appropriate for any type of warm-weather outdoor activity. At first, I had trouble getting my feet into the straps, even though I don't typically buy wide shoes, however after some play with the straps, I was able to adjust them perfectly. I'd recommend some patience when first trying them on. The straps really are very, very adjustable, but it may take some time to get them right for your own feet. Once you do that, and wear them once or twice, you're good to go- no struggle getting into them.I've worn them in the park and during trips out with my kayak. They are perfect because they are lightweight, and can be worn in the water, yet they have an undeniable athletic feel, and can likely take quite a beating. I highly recommend these for anyone with low arches, as these provide tremendous arch support. The reason for the four stars is that there is almost too much arch support for me, although I don't think that will impact my comfort overall, once they are fully broken in. I would definitely buy more if not for the price, but I also know these will last.

Awesome sandals
Sandals are great, pretty good quality and very very nice looking. They are way heavier than expected but really comfortable though. The most amazing thing they have is that you can fit them your way, which means you'll always have the most comfortable fit and you can readjust them as many times as you want to so in case you need to walk on a slippery surface you can tight them up or loose them as needed. I love this sandals and I think I'll stick to the brand. I love adjustable shoes and these are awesome.

Quality but Clunky and Confusing
If you're looking for a snug and lightweight sandal, I wouldn't get this. While the quality is excellent, they are clunkier than other sandals I've had. Good arch support. Kind of weird to adjust, I could not remember which straps are attached to which (you have to pull all the straps in different directions to tighten) and just wanted something simple to put on. I ended up returning them.
