I still like Chacos, but I liked them even better before they changed the design of the sole. My other 2 pairs were soooo comfortable from day one! These definately need some breaking in. CHACO: Why did you stop making the CHONG ?????? My wife is still wearing hers after 5 years!! I got the Hipthongs to replace mine. Like I said...they\'re very cool...but wish you still made them as comfy as you did! BRING BACK THE CHONG!!!!!!!!

The size 11 were a little on the small side, until the straps broke in. Better looking in person than in the picture, and extremely comfortable. Have worn them kayaking, dining, fishing, and around town. Not looking forward to teaching again in "business casual" shoes.

I ordered my son a pair of Chaco's on a Monday hoping to have them before departing for vacation the following Saturday. First, the price was quite a bit less than anywhere locally I could purchase them. When I completed my order, I received notice that they would be received in 5-6 business days. Thinking I may not get them in time, I sent an email back to customer service inquiring if I could pay extra for express shipping to get them sooner. I got the typical generic response about receiving my inquiry and that someone would be in touch soon and I blew it off. Well, to my surprise, I got another email only minutes later. The email said that the shoes would be sent next day air at no extra cost. I was shocked at the prompt response and even more shocked in that I offered to pay the extra fee for shipping, but Zappos picked up the cost of same with no reason to do so. I am sold on Zappos and will always use them if they have what I'm looking for on future purchases.

OK So I read all the reviews and you must be joking! The fixed strap should be adjustable; it does not allow your foot to go far enough forward. It seemed like your foot went in a little crooked. If you want a sandal buy KEEN! If you want a thong buy TEVA! These are far more comfortable and worth the price. I cannot say the same about these. Love Zappos; think I'm going to get some Salomon amphibians.

Hip indeed -
I purchased these to replace a worn out pair of keens- they fit the bill perfectly. I have owned them for 6 months now and am pleased as punch. They are heavier than most sandals, but I will not be wearing these out anytime soon. Great, just great.

Nice sandal -
I had Chaco brand before, unfortunately I left them in a hotel room. I missed them terribly, so had to
Order a new pair, tried these hipthongs. My girlfriend was always stealing mine (even though they were huge on her) so I also ordered her a pair and she loves hers. They are a little hard to put on until you get the hang of them, but are very comfortable, and of course will last forever
with the Vibrim soles. My girlfriend says the adjustable straps are a little long on hers and wants me to cut them shorted so they don't drag on the ground.

The best flip-flop cross over, period.
I can't believe I just bought these!
Now that I have your attention, I'm going to tell you how comfortable these Hipthongs are. I am a Chaco can, and the best thing about it is, I can say that I have had a pair for about 6 years and counting. That’s not something you get to hear for many shoes and by far no flip flops I have ever had, will ever last as long as Chaco’s do.
However, having owned a pair of Chaco’s that the size being M-9, and ordering these, I got a size bigger, because I felt the length wasn't as long as it needed to be on the Hip-thong. I have wide feet, so if that describes your foot, then I'd suggest getting a size larger than you normally do with these, just so they are long enough and fit just right.
Most comfortable and convenient slip on sandal I have ever had. Great for walking, and short jogs, moonlight hikes with your loved ones wearing the same shoes...ahh... memories to come.
Other brands recommended by reviewer: More Chaco’s. Check them all out. The best investment you'll ever make for your foot.

New to Hipthongs -
I have used sandals of this sort for years, but the old brands were not working for me any longer. The Hipthong seems to serve that need well overall. The only complaint I have about it, is that my foot tends to slip back on uphill climbs. Otherwise, it is quite comfortable and functional for my needs, and seems extremely well made.

These shoes are really nice, casual shoes. They have a high arch which is great but it is a bit hard and takes some getting used to. Other than that, we just got back from a cruise and the shoes were wonderful. And always, Zappos is the BEST! I ordered them 1/2 size bigger and they were perfect. I wear a woman's 13 and am finding shoes that fit and are cute!

I love the fit and style of this shoe. Order the men's shoe for wider feet, very comfortable. I wore them immediately without problems. They feel true to size. I want more in different colors.

ChillyTrav!
When my wife said she was buyin me sandals, I had no idea I would really like them! These are comfortable enough to wear in the house as slippers. When I heard the price I was a little skeptical, but these are worth every penny, and then some! Zappos continues to be the best on line shoe company we've ever encountered. Good job!

Love the Hipthong -
I have had a pair of the Z2s for about 5 years and I just received a new pair of these Hipthongs from Zappos. They are great! I wore them all weekend and they did not even need a breaking in period. As always Zappos is the world’s best internet retailer. I ordered them at 7pm and the next day they were at my house.

Great flop -
I love this product. It took about a week to break in. It gave me a small cut on my middle toe on both feet, however, after about a week, it was gone. They are very supportive and do not "flop" due to the fact that you can tighten them on your feet. I read one other review that claimed that they were difficult to slide your feet in to. This statement is probably true, if comparing this shoe to other flops that do not have as much support, however, I have not had much of a problem at all getting these on my feet. The benefits of having them stay on so well outweighs the negatives of these shoes taking more time to put on. I am very pleased with these flops.

Great Shoe - Order Men's if Ladies are too narrow -
I bought this shoe looking for something I could wear around the pool and not worry about getting my feet wet. I also wanted something stylish that I could wear out shopping as well. I had debated getting a pair of Birkenstocks for the comfort. After the first time I wore these shopping I was so glad I bought the Chaco Hipthong instead. While I was shopping it started pouring down rain. I was able to get out to my car and not worry about getting my feet wet and ruining my shoes. I continued shopping despite the rain and I was amazed at how quickly the shoes and straps dried out. I was able to wear the shoes all day and my feet didn’t hurt. The straps were starting to rub in a few places but nothing unbearable. Overall these are great shoes, very comfortable and functional. I ordered my first pair in a women’s size 10. I loved how they looked but the straps cut into the tops of my feet and the sole was a little too narrow. I was very disappointed that I had to send them back until I found the same style in men’s sizes. The men’s size 9 fit perfect. The straps were looser and more comfortable. The sole was also wider and fit my foot better without being to chunky. I think these are going to be my favorite summer sandal.

Breaking in the Chaco's Hipthong -
The Chaco style that I loved has been discontinued to I went with the thong as the next best thing. The break-in process has been long and a bit on the uncomfortable side. I have scars on my feet where the straps caused blisters and then scarred over. The thong has caused the worst blister at the base of my second toe. Honestly, it hasn't been painful - which is probably why I didn't notice the 'damage' until it had scarred over. But they're still Chaco's and the support is fantastic. I guess it might have been good if there were some helpful tips on breaking in the sandal.

Pretty good...if they fit -
Just got some hipthongs from Zappos. Man their customer service is unrivaled. The hipthong is a good sandal if you have medium width feet and medium to low arches. Not for the high-arched, wide-footed folk...namely me. Super durable construction and resolable. Wish they came in widths and were rewebbable like the Z/1's and Z/2's. Maybe in the future.

Great sandal. No option for customers with wide feet -
I really like this style of style of sandal. Very comfortable. My only complaint is that its width only goes up to "D" (medium). I have a wide foot (14E), and would've enjoyed a wider shoe. I even went to the manufacturer's website. I believe they don't feel it's necessary to accommodate customers with wide feet.

Chaco Hipthong -
These are really neat - they're flip flops with cross straps and these help them to stay on your feet. It's a bit difficult to shove your foot into 'em quickly without aiding the process with your hands in order to get the cross straps sitting just right; also, I can never get my foot forward quite enough to make the right contact and wedge with the toe piece in tight. Still I really like them. Great soles, great look, great concept. Chaco's the company for this kind of thing.

Great quality, super fit -
Best of all, totally cool. Let's face it...flip flops are here to stay. Are you going to wear surfer chic cheapo cool? Better off with crafts store .99 crap and deal with your persona - who cares? But these are quality sandals that I wear hiking as easily as every day throw-ons. Only negative is traction on dry, worn stone - i.e. Uxmal ruins, etc. when one would wish for some ground abrasive in the rubber.
