I am extremely hard on just about everything. These flops seem to hold up to whatever life may throw at them. Not only are they comfy but they stay on when you need them to. I am in between a 13 and a 14 and I should have bought the 14. Other than that, I am very pleased! No flip flop chatter when you walk either. That can get annoying.

A great concept sandal that needs some work fine tuning. The cross straps quickly loose their place on the top of your foot after walking a couple of minutes. If the adjustable straps were a little longer for higher arches they might stay, but the plastic buckle allows them to slip loose if pulled to comfort tightness.

Industrial strength sandal. These are not a casual/lightweight flip flop. It's made in the Colorado tough design. Similar to Mountainsmith packs. More sporty then Birkenstocks with some of the similar designs like the contoured footbed that allows your foot to fall in place. The sole is thick so even if you thread on something nasty like a sharp stone it won’t pierce your foot. The adjustable webbing design on the thong is better than the other sandals from Chaco (the one with big toe strap) since it’s faster to adjust. It would be better if they had the ridge that goes under the toes so your toes can anchor the sandals even better. They are “re-soleable” but I tend to buy a new pair once they wear out so I’m not sure if that's necessary.

Cool shoes! I bought these shoes for my 6 year old and he was so excited when he saw them because they have the "z" strap closure. They seem to run a bit wide and he had trouble closing them tight enough at first but he's doing fine now that I showed him how to push the tongue down so the strap would fasten tighter. They are the only shoes he wants to wear so in my opinion they are well worth the money!

Really great sandals...Zappos is the best - The sandal looks really good, not many people have this type of sandal so one stands out for a bit, till you just ignore it. A very comfortable sandal, out of all the footwear I currently own, this sandal is the only one I could wear for days on end. The added strap allows the sandal to not flip as much as the traditional flip flop. It is very secure, also very amphibious as well; I can walk in water and not worry that the sandal will come off. This sandal should definitely be on everybody's wish list.

Chaco's Hipthong - I purchased this sandal for my son and he loves it! The shoe is very well made and has excellent support. He says it is the most comfortable shoe he has ever worn. He practically is living in it. I would highly recommend this sandal!

Comfortable Shoe - These things are really comfortable. What I like most about them is that you can slide them on and off without bending over. They feel similar to a flip flop, but with a little more security. If I know I'm going to be doing a lot of walking, I'll probably wear my Chaco Z/1's, but the Hipthongs are definitely nice to have around. Like other Chaco's I own, I bought the Hipthongs one size down from my usual size.

Shoe is great and so is ZAPPOS - Ordered a size 10 and it was too big, re-ordered a size 9 and Zappos sent it before I returned the first pair!!! As always Zappos customer service is #1 and I have received this type of service in all of my many transactions with these fine folks. The Chacos fit great and they are more secure than regular thongs. The adjustability is a plus feature.

Way comfy - I have a wide foot, so I ordered a men's. I loved these as soon as I put them on. I've found no better arch support. Initially, I thought my foot was hanging over the back a little...but after a few strap adjustments they were perfect. I wore them all day in comfort.

Finally - I love the fact that Chaco now makes a thong that has just a little extra security with the adjustable strap.

My husband loves them!!! My husband bought these because I have a pair and raved about them...Once he got them and put them on he's been wearing them everyday because they are so comfortable. My husband wears a 10 1/2 and ordered an 11 because I've always order a half size up--they fit him perfect...

Marvelous shoe! I bought another pair of Hipthongs for my college-aged son as a replacement for a pair I bought him last year. They are his favorite shoes. He wore them all summer at his job at the beach, then all winter, even. He told me that he's worn them to work, class, church, deer and turkey hunting, and on dates! His absolute favorite shoe. I had bought him Z/2's also, but he likes these best

Chaco customer for life... I've been trying for some time to find the perfect sandals... I like sporty styles, nothing dressy, because we do a lot of boating and camping, etc. I wanted something comfortable and functional, with a nice look. I looked on the Chaco web site and used their sizing charts to find my size. I'm female, but I bought the men's version of the Hipthong because I like the slightly wider straps. The sizing chart was right on. My new Chacos fit perfectly and are the epitome of comfort. I'm so pleased, and if these ever wear out, I'll buy another pair immediately!

5 hard weeks in Thailand.... Let me start by saying I'm a huge flip flop guy and am very much into the ultimate comfort they provide but I also need a sandal to be able to rise to some burley occasions. These Chacos are not only comfy as heck, but the vibram sole adds the stability needed to carry a backpack for extended periods of time thru fairly gnarly terrain. I got blisters a few spots the first day but after that these flips became my favorite all around casual shoe maybe ever. The extra straps added behind the thong are really effective in keeping the heel to the foot bed while going up steps or a rooty trail. I spent the most part of five weeks with these guys from Bangkok to the islands to northern mountainous regions and prefer them over my much loved keen h2's. They showed zero signs of wear so far after 200+ miles. I love these shoes man and I endorse this message. Vote for hip thongs.

You guys rock! I'm sorry I missed your leader on Oprah, but he's obviously brilliant and created the best company to work for and heard one day he wants to start an airline with great service... sounds good to me. I tell friends and acquaintances about Zappos and recently was in a cool little gallery/retail shop and was telling the owner that you sell cool colored watches (she had commented on my Alessi watch) like the Appetime and she had never heard of you and then her employee chimed in and said she loves Zappos and then we both went on about how great you are to deal with and how outstanding your service is... Thank you! Maggie
