Men's Z/2 Classic Sandals

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

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 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.

Really good sandals. I loved that I could just slide them on and start wearing them without having to break them in. There was maybe a slight hassle to adjust the straps after purchase to fit my feet, but otherwise nothing too complicated. I’ve gone hiking and biking in them and haven’t been disappointed with the soles or straps. The only thing I have to say against them is that constant wear is abrasive to the skin, especially the toe straps. I haven’t gotten any blisters (I’m not really prone to them) but they do leave marks that only go away after a couple of days of not wearing them. Otherwise, I love them! Awesome traction, even when wet!

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.

Strap was long for my foot size 11.

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 first tried this brand with an ill fitting sandal I later learned had been discontinued - but I kept hearing good things about the "Z" series sandals. I decided to go with this one with a toe loop as I plan to be wearing these on the water, for some light hiking, and generally out and about. I'm glad I picked these ones up as they feel absolutely nailed to my feet. There's no slipping or feeling of being loose. They come with instructions on how to adjust the straps around your feet, but they have a guide on their website if yours weren't included or you accidentally threw them out. I leave the toe a bit loose when I'm wearing them casually and tighten them up a bit when I need to make sure my feet don't slip. Very happy with my purchase and I'll share pictures soon, including how I keep the strap from dragging on the ground!

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.

Si tratta di sandali molto solidi, con una suola un po' pesante se li si soppesa con le mani, ma che non si sente assolutamente durante la camminata. Il "battistrada è fenomenale", degno di un copertone per moto da cross per il grip e le scanalature. Immagino di poterci affrontare qualsiasi superficie senza fastidi o timore che ceda. Nonostante queste caratteristiche apparentemente "grossolane" il sandalo è piuttosto elegante, oltre che sportivo. Tutti i materiali sono fatti per essere bagnati infinite volte senza rovinarsi e i nastri che tengono il piede sono scorrevoli e formano un giro unico che passa all'interno della suola, in modo tale da adattarsi spontaneamente alla conformazione del piede. La forma della suola è anatomica, con un leggero sostegno per l'arco plantare e rialzi laterali che tengono il tallone in posizione centrale. Da quando ho comprato questi sandali ho messo quasi completamente da parte tutti quelli che avevo, anche perché vanno bene (forse perché ho scelto un colore blu elegante-sportivo e non qualcosa di sgargiante) praticamente in tutte le occasioni informali.
