Shoe Size: Felt a half size larger than marked Shoe Arch: Excellent arch support Shoe Width: Felt true to widthThis shoe provides excellent arch support. However, the footbed has a texture that a person with a sensitive foot might not like. The sandal was comfortable but because of the texture of the footbed, I did not want to wear it all day long right out of the box. It does require strap adjustment with each wearing, but it was minor. Definitely for the active person that wants great arch support.

I purchased these sandals as a light but supportive shoe for hiking the Cinque Terre in Italy. They have really good arch support so my feet were never tired after a full day of wearing them. There isn't much of a tread on the sole so I don't recommend them if you'll be walking on any rocky or damp/muddy terrain as they will slip. But for groomed dirt trails, they're fine. My only teeny complaint was that all the straps were not fully adjustable. You can cinch down on the main straps, but if you pull them as tight as they go, the excess strap is really long and needs to be trimmed. Also if you are hiking on dusty trails as I was, the black gets dirty really fast. I was hoping to use them at night as a casual sandal I could wear with a skirt to dinner, but they needed to be washed in order to make them presentable. All in all, I think they're a really good sandal and I loved the good arch support.

I love the Hipthong! I adjusted the straps according to the instructions from Chaco and found that they were tighter than I like. After loosening the straps and taking a couple of days to get used to the arch, I pretty much haven\'t worn any other shoes for the last three weeks. They are so comfortable. I ordered the black so they would go with most outfits and they dress up or down easily. I wear a size 11 and appreciate that they are true to size.

These shoes are great! I bought them for a weekend on the river to wear instead of a traditional water shoe. The footbed is super comfortable and the arch support is the best I have found so far.
Other Brands Recommended by Reviewer: Keen is also a nice fit with comfortable sole and good arch support. - Overall:

These shoes are my favorite summer time flip flop style sandal. They are so supportive with a great arch and extra stability, and yet are so cute that I actually get compliments from strangers. They are washable and the soles never wear out. They are worth the money. My last pair lasted 4-5 years!

I bought this in black last June and this is the highest amount that I spent for a sandal but it worth every penny. I wore it with all my outfit, short, dresses and skirts. Give yourself a few days to adjust the straps. Mine gets the perfect fit adjustment only after a week. So, be patient. I usually wear size 7.5 and I get 8 this time and it seems a little bit big but I won\'t complain for that. Make a decision and just buy now!

Love, love, love these shoes, they hug my feet and I am very picky with my shoes and the way they feel. I want to be able to walk in them all day and not have sore feet. Great for high arches.

I was looking for shoes that would stay on my feet while boating in the river and on the shore of the river and ocean. I found it! This is a very comfortable shoe that I can adjust to fit my narrow feet. They are supportive yet don\'t look dowdy on my 51 year old feet!

These are the best sandals ever! I have very high arches and degenerative joint disease in my big toe. I can walk all day in these with no pain. My orthopedist gives them the thumbs up. Zappos is awesome and the pricing is about the same as in the store but more color selections. I found them to run true to size.

Great, cute functional sandal with tons of arch support. I love these shoes except for 2 things. First, they are quite flat. There is no heel elevation at all, which you can see from the photos. I didn't realize how much this made a difference to me until I spent hours walking with these. They tended to really tire my ankles because of the lack of heel elevation. Secondly, at the point where the straps meet the platform, mid-shoe, between the heel and the arch, the straps rub my skin and it's somewhat uncomfortable. I've now built up callouses there, but the rubbing straps still bother me. For these two reasons I can't wear these shoes all day. However, they are fine for a few hours, but I do need to switch after many hours on my feet with these.

Favorite Sandals-worth every penny! I just ordered my second pair of Chaco's. They offer extreme support. Although they are pricey for sandals, I cannot stress enough how nice it is to not have my legs and back hurting after a long day of walking/standing/moving around. Worth every penny and last a long time!

Finally a thong with arch support - I've had these thongs for a year now and they're perfect. Lots of arch support without looking too clunky. I got the tan with a pink pattern on it, I get compliments frequently.

This is my second pair of Chaco's I love them, I love the high arch (my feet are kinda flat) I feel the support from the sandals into my back and knees. I am a runner and the importance of good shoes and stellar support pays off. I also bought a pair of Chaco hiking shoes and once again they live up to their high standards!

Absolutely worth the money paid. I love the ability to tighten the straps when necessary and didn't feel that the straps slipped/loosened at all. The arch support is totally appreciated after spending hours walking on concrete. The only SLIGHT issue with them is that the textured soles irritate my feet the next day. I liked the Hipthongs better than the Eco Treads because they offer a better fit. Like flip flops but with more stability.

I think these shoes are pretty true to the description. They are fashionable, comfy and offer lots of arch support. The arches took me a couple days to get used to, but they make my posture better and I feel great in them now. The soles are thicker than I thought they would be.

The thing I love about Chacos is their great arch support. These are really comfy and I can walk around in them all day, however, sometimes I need to adjust the straps so they fit better on top. Some of the Chacos are a little clunky looking but these actually look a bit more streamline than most Chacos. They're cute enough for my very picky teenage daughter to slip on. I love 'em!
