ChacoWomen's ZX/2 Classic Sandal

I bought these Chacos for a recent hiking trip and I’m honestly impressed. The arch support is incredible—I can walk all day without foot fatigue, and I usually have issues with plantar fasciitis. The Cloud footbed really lives up to its name—super soft and comfy, yet supportive.The straps are fully adjustable, which is great for getting a custom fit. I especially like the toe loop for added stability. They took about a day or two to break in, but after that, no rubbing or discomfort at all.They’re also surprisingly stylish—I’ve worn them on trails and in town, and they work great for both.Highly recommend if you're looking for a sandal that combines durability, comfort, and support.

Update (Sept 2020): Almost a year later and these sandals still rock! They have worn unbelievably well despite wearing them a lot, in a variety of situations and conditions! I have purchased as gifts for both of my sisters (who have very different feet) and they both love them!!!Original review (Sept 2019): I am generally not a sport sandal girl, but needed something for a hiking trip near the beach. These sandals rocked. I have really narrow feet, and always have a hard time with sandals because my feet slide around and the straps are never tight enough. The best part about Chacos is the fact that you can tighten or loosen them to any foot size. And you can make adjustments throughout the day as needed, which is awesome if your feet swell after walking or in the heat. I wear them on planes because my feet swell and contract and therefore I never have any discomfort anymore! The Cloud X2 version has a softer foot bed and it made wearing them a dream (my daughter likes the regular footbed which is more rigid, like a Croc, but those were not comfortable for me at all, which is why I had sworn off Chacos from the get go). I’m so glad I tried them again once they came out with the Cloud version.They do have a lot of arch support so if you have flat feet it might irritate you a bit. It took me about an hour to get used to the structured support the footbed offered, but ever since they have been unbelievably comfortable. I want to wear them all the time and I have NEVER felt that way about a sport sandal. I get a ton of compliments on them (I think the double strap and color combo is particularly cute), and I can do any activity in them for hours — standing, walking, hiking, shopping, biking. My legs never feel fatigue anymore. In fact I keep them on when I walk around the house (and I am usually a kick off the shoes kind of person.)I’ve worn them for two months (a lot) and no sign of breaking down or weird wear and tear.

Once you figure out how to adjust the straps (which took me forever, and was an absolute nightmare) these are great! The top/front of my foot is high, and I have a long, high arch...the adjustable nature of these shoes make them far more comfortable than other brands. Definitely worth the time trying to fight with the straps.

I've had these sandals a few years now. I would wear them all the time, but after 5 min the straps tighten uncomfortably on my big toes. Doesn't matter how much I adjust the straps, it does the same thing. I wish I could exchange them for a pair that doesn't go around those toes. Otherwise, they are very sturdy and comfortable once you get used to the idea of not walking around on memory foam.

I’m 7.5 in regular shoes, but because of the reviews, decided to go with a 7, and fits good. However, initially I ordered the regular 7 size black (2nd pic)(wouldn’t think about wide, since I don’t think my feet are wide) and I had to returned them since they were painful on my sole. This are 7 wide and are just perfect!!Hope they last 10 years, like other reviews.

Great for hiking, swimming, anything outdoors. Easy to get on. Has adjustable straps. Great support for ankles. Need to size down. I wear a size 7, but bought a 6 because they’re no half sizes. Little pricey is the down side. So far the shoes have held up. I wear them to the pool everyday. Love the different colors they come in. Will buy again

These were my first pair of Chacos, and I admit there was a learning curve to learn all there was to know about the different soles, straps, replacement program, etc. etc. After figuring out which type of sole and size fit me best (lots of questions to friends and visits to local outdoor stores), I found the best sole/strap/color combination for me online. I love this colour combination.... the teal and salmon are interesting colours but neutral enough that I can wear them with most casual outfits. It took a week or two to get used to the straps, adjust them to the right tightness, and break in the footbeds. If there is anyone else getting Chacos for the first time, know that it can be uncomfortable the first week or so until the footbeds conform to your feet and you find the right strap tension. As one outdoor store staff warned, I developed some serious callouses where my feet rub against the arched part of the insole (I have low arches), but they don't hurt and the fit has improved the more I've broken them in. Since breaking them in, they have been my go-to shoes! I love that they are easy to slip on (no hands!), and that the straps and thick soles give me confidence that I can walk on most surfaces safely. I have worn them to do lots of walking in urban settings, wet pavement, through puddles and streams, along unpaved dirt and gravel paths, and even some light hiking. As a scientist who can sometimes find herself in outdoor/wet settings with little warning, I love that these shoes give me the flexibility to walk where I need to safely. Love these!

I’ve wanted these shoes for a long time, and I finally decided to get them for an upcoming vacation. I measured my foot and even sized up, but the shoes arrived and they were tiny. They’re much stiffer than I expected and not particularly comfortable either. I have very small, average width feet, and these were SNUG. I almost couldn’t get these on. It’s such a shame, because I was really excited about this purchase.
