4.0 out of 5 stars Super comfortable, easy to clean, and they last and last and can take a beating!, November 12, 2008

My first pair of Chaco's sandals was this style in the "Razz" color--which is the muted red print on the dark brown footbed.

OH..MY..Plantar Fasciitis Relief!

I found these so comfy, so soothing to my troubled feet, that I ordered them in another sandal style (no toe wrap, black) and fell in love with those even more. This style, while nice and comfy, can be troublesome around the toe for some (and even me some days if I don't adjust the straps just so).

These do keep your foot in place better than the other non-toe wrap style, but the others give the foot more flexibility. So, this style gets one star removed for that particular issue--the toe thing. Some people prefer the stability of the toe-wrap. I prefer the freedom and ability to "shrug" my toes in the other styles.

I now have five pairs of these pricey sandals (OMIGOSH, how much I spent!) because they make my feet happy. These may not be sexy, but they are well-constructed, will last ages, can be cleaned after every use with a cleanser and sponge or an antibacterial gel (I sometimes use that with a sponge or cloth) and a shot of Lysol. (Yeah, I like my sandals CLEAN.) And it doesn't affect it. They keep right on striding.

Walk in a soggy garden, through the rain, in the dirt. No matter. These clean up and keep going.

With casual wear, these are my number one footwear now. Cool. Anti-fungal (for those with these issues, these let your feet BREATHE). Esy to care for. Fun in a kicky casual groove with jeans and leggings (bootcut, especially).

And the company tries to be socially and eco-responsible. That's a plus.

If you have plantar fasciitis, give these a try. These are the ONLY shoes I don't immediately kick off when I get home. :)

Mir--with happy Chaco's feet

NOTE: These run a bit large. I have them in both my normal size (10) and in one smaller(9), and I find I prefer the smaller size. It's up to how much "bumper room" you like for your feet. Strongly recommend you consider downsizing a size, and if you're between sizes (ie, you're 8.5), definitely size down to an 8, rather than up to a 9.

This sandal has earned a position of tenure on my soles. It has even been approved by my podiatrist because it provides stability and good cushioning. It's a cool alternative to those Natural Balance tennis shoes. Alas, time for new shoes, so I'm ordering a new pair.

2.0 out of 5 stars I really wanted to love these but..., October 3, 2009

This review is from: Chaco Women's Z/2 UWP Sandal (Apparel)

In the summer of 2008 I wanted to buy a comfortable, supportive sandal to wear on our trip to Disney World. I read a lot of reviews on Chacos and read about the technology behind the design. I was sure that Chacos would be a perfect choice and bought a pair for myself and my teenage daughter after being fitted by a REI salesperson. We both wore them to Disney and we both had problems right away. Both of us complained of pain in our big toe joints and we had problems with the strap tightening around the toe while we walked. At some point during the trip I had lost all the feeling in one big toe and had a deep indent where the strap was. It felt like when you get a shot of Novocain and your lip feels numb when you touch it. (I had no feeling at the tip of my toe for three months! And then it gradually got better during the fourth month.) My guess is that the strap damaged a nerve. During the summer of 2009 I wore the sandals again for short periods of time with no problem, so I decided to take them again to Disney with the intention of constantly checking the strap and keep it very loose around my toe. I was successful, but at the end of the first day my toe started to feel prickly. That's when I retired my Chacos and bought a pair of FitFlops which were extremely comfortable and gave me no problems for the rest of the week. My daughter ended up giving up her Chacos also. She felt they were very uncomfortable and ended up buying another sandal at Disney that worked well. We really wanted to like our Chacos and gave them a good chance. Unfortunately they didn't work for us.
