Solid Flop -
Great Flip. Very good footbed and the sole is very rigid, which is great. A lot of Flips are made of softer rubber now and I like the solid feel. Some might think that they are too heavy and rigid I suppose. They are not light like the old flip we all know. The only issue is that the straps come back far on the inside and I could see a little need for breaking in or you might bet rub at the back of your arch if no rough spot is built up.

Looks better than it wears! I love Chaco sandals! I purchased these flip flops for my son-in-law's birthday gift from me. He is not pleased with the wear of the shoe. With his high arch he has found there is not enough room between the top of the shoe and the footbed. They continue to rub blisters on his feet. I had noticed he was not wearing them and finally asked how he liked them. He didn't want to tell me at first but I finally got it out of him about them hurting his feet. He said he keeps hoping they will stretch but so far, not.

The best sandal for your feet!!! My podiatrist recommended Chacos to me and they are the miracle I've been waiting for for my feet. Ahhhh...so comfortable. It's winter weather here and I'm still wearing them! I'm buying them for everyone in my family this Christmas. Try them...you'll love them.

Five star shoes - I've only had these shoes for a few weeks, but so far they are great. They are comfortable so my feet are happy. I've had many pairs of flip flops in the past that were cheaply made and didn't last but a few months. I think this pair will give me my money's worth. I also want to say the customer service of Zappos is A+. Thanks!

Adequately rugged do-it-all sandal -
Wearing sandals year 'round and owning several pairs at a time for different uses, I picked these up as replacements for a pair of Esca beach sandals which lasted me a decade & a half. I needed something close fitting and supportive like an athletic shoe, yet water friendly and grippy on all surfaces wet or dry, wide open for max ventilation, (potentially) five year plus durability, and still be comfortable and good looking.
I've only had the Chacos (Bamboo colour scheme) a few days now, but think I've found most, if not all, those qualities in my new EcoTreads - jury's still out on durability (ask me in 5~10 years). As I did, order your athletic shoe size (which will give you the right size footbed (no excess overhang to catch on everything or feel in the way during spirited driving) and expect 'em to feel abnormally tight through the strap for about two days (after that they should be fine).
One oddity worth mentioning is that even though they have excellent arch support (sandal or otherwise), the arch support is biased to the inside of the instep running back to the heel area. It's not enough to roll the ankle or change your step/walk in any way, but it does create some discomfort when donning these guys following a dozen mile trail run.
Remember that I am critiquing pretty harshly and comparing them to an absolutely awesome pair of sandals they'll have to replace.
For the price and what they're capable of, I would highly recommend them.

Great flip flop - My boyfriend and I both bought these Chacos a few weeks ago. These are my second pair of flip flops from Chaco. My boyfriend was always impressed with how durable my old pair were (over 3 years!) so he decided to get himself a pair. He thinks they are perfectly comfortable. I thought I was going to need more break-in time since my old pair did, but these were comfortable from the start. They still have the same great arch support, and are very cute. I will continue to buy these for the environmentally friendly recycled tread, as well as for their durability and style.

As a longtime wearer of orthotics, flip flops haven't been an option. Even going barefoot was not a comfortable option except on the beach. So, when I discovered the Chaco Flip, with its excellent support and fit, I was amazed! I now own two pair and wear them all day in comfort. You can even throw them in the washing machine and they are so well constructed it is like pulling a new pair from the wash! Thank you Chaco for a great product and thank you Zappos for being the greatest shoe store on earth!

Great for the beach or poolside! Bought these for my husband to replace his conventional poolside/beach flip flops. Theses are much more sturdier and durable. He wears these whenever he is going to get his feet wet, like washing the car, etc. He wears a 9.5 for running shoes but I ordered the 10s, which fit just fine.

I just moved to New York City and needed a flip flop with more support and cushion for all the walking I do. After one day, I am very happy. It has support and cushion and I have only one minor hot spot. The only negative is the ugly Chaco label on the side. I took a sharpie to it after I decided to keep them. Otherwise, I'm stoked on them. SIZE - was a little small but not by much.

This is definitely a great flip flop. The fit is snug, which allows you to do many activities in these that you normally couldnt do in any other flip flop. I've been riding my skateboard with these throughout the summer and they've worked great. Very comfortable, great arch support, and great fit. The only downside for me was it took me a while to break in the sandal because of the new material between my toes, but I find this the case with any new sandal.

Great Flip -
I told myself I would never wear flip-flops again before these. After owning a pair of Chaco's sandals, I decided to give these a try. The cloth piece between the toes does not force them apart like cheap others do. The arch support is excellent. Other reviews complain that the straps are too tight; I'd say they are a bit loose. If you are considering them, buy them now while there is still some summer left.

Nice!
First I ordered the womens 8 and found that they were too narrow for me as well as a tad bit small. I usually wear an 8 or 8.5 so I decided to try the mens size 7. Perfect! They are a bit wider and about an inch longer so they fit perfectly. I live to have a bit of space all around but they definitely do NOT look too big. I wish I would have known to research a little more before my first order but luckily my transactions were flawless. I had my new order the day after I got the old pair in the mail. Thank you Zappos.

What I expected -
After just a few days of wearing thee flips I could see why all my pals were raving. The straps are a little tight which is odd to me because I have a narrow foot. The width on the footbed is true to width hence the answer to that question, but as I said the strap sits a little tight. Other than that, great flip!

Toughest flip-flop on the market -
I bought my first pair about five years ago. I wore them hiking in water, sand, and slick rock and they withstood the harsh treatment. I have found that other flip-flops absorb foot order, but not these. The tongue in my old pair pulled out after getting stuck in a rock, but while other flip-flops would only last me a year (if that), I think that five years of abuse warrants me buying another pair.

Chacos are the best!!!!
We have been cruising in our sailboat in Mexico for the past 3 1/2 years. Normally flip flops would only last a year before needing to be replaced. But with Chacos they just keep on trucking 3+ years on one pair. BTW we don't wear shoes at all but always wear our flip flops. Buying another pair just in case.

Nice Flip Flop -
This is a comfortable and stylish flip flop. I've worn a pair of Chaco Z/1's for years and thought I would try a pair of the flip flops. I typically wear a size 13, but prefer a size 12 in the Chaco's. My Z/1's have been incredibly durable, and I suspect the flip flops will be as well. If my Chaco's get dirty, I just throw them in the washing machine.

I loved the colors the men's Chaco's Flip EcoTread, so purchased two pairs. I love Chaco and have many of the women's styles. Both the men and women Chaco have the best support and my feet are never tired after wearing them all day and evening long. Highly recommend them. They are true to size.

 |  | Just a quick note to thank your staff for the excellent service on my most recent order. It is very hard for me to find shoes in my size in local stores and almost as hard online, and rarely with the follow up and quality of packaging you provided. I will certainly remain a customer and will tell others about your web site. |  | ~ Ursula S. , September 10 2008
