It took a couple of days for the skin between my big and next toe to get used to the fabric - it chafed a bit - but then it was fine. The shoe supports my arches well, and are very comfortable. I wanted a breathable, supportive shoe to walk my dogs in, and these are great. Worth the cost. The straps are adjustable, so you can perfect the fit. A friend of mine has a 4-year old pair that she wears hiking in forests and on city streets, and they are in great shape. I'm picky with my shoe purchases - I demand a lot for my money - and am quite satisfied with these.

Awesome! These are the only sandal that I can wear all day long every day and not have my feet, knees and back hurt. I love them. Matter of fact I have them on right now.

They stopped making the Zong, so I had to try this sandal. Ordered it in an 8 and a 9 as some of the reviews noted to get a 1/2 size up and I normally wear an 8 1/2. Took about two days to get used to the thong type style, but now I am a believer. My new favorite knock about sandal. Chaco sandals rock. The arch support and great security on the foot make these the sandals of choice.

...This is my second pair of this particular style - this time I bought the men's version because they are wider...so obviously, I like them...they have great arch support and are comfortable enough for me to walk all afternoon without having my feet ache - I have very high arches and there are few sandals that have any type of arch support...

I love them! So I have been a flip flop hater for years. I hate the sound they make when they, well flip and flop. A friend had a pair of these on the other day and I was intrigued. I like the looks and I really like that you can keep them tight to you foot. I ordered them and they arrived, took about a day for me to fully fall in love and now I get mad when I have to go to work and wear "real" shoes.

I own two pair of women's Chaco's -- the Z/1 and Z/2 Unaweep. I was so disappointed to find that the Zong and Hipthong are not available in women's wide sizes -- some days a slip on just works better for my life. I took a chance and ordered the smallest men's size and they are almost perfect. Highly recommend these for a woman who has wider feet and is looking for a backless option. And, as usual, Zappos had them at my home the day after they were ordered.

Bought these for my husband who isn't much of a "sandal man", but I love Chaco's so much that I was sure he would too! And I was right--he finds them comfortable and easy to wear...is managing to get used to having a thong between his toes too! I would highly recommend these to anyone.

These sandals ROCK!! I just received them my Chaco sandals. I put them on, and went for a three mile walk I came home, and left them on in my normally shoeless house! I literally hated to take them off...SO COMFORTABLE!! I wish they came in purple and bottle green because I would buy 2 more pairs! Excellent arch support, looks great with jeans, or casual skirt.

Great fit - Looks just like a flip flop but much more comfortable. I enjoy flip flops but my feet kill me after a while of walking in them. With these Chaco's my feet feel great all day long and they fit great. I have had no problems with the straps. I have purchased a pair for my wife to wear also.

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.

I had been trying for months to find a winter hat for my little boy that would keep his head and ears warm, and also provide some sun protection with a brim. Surprisingly difficult to find! I still haven't seen it in any stores, so was very happy to find it on Zappos. Unfortunately it's a little too big, there were only two sizes to choose from and I chose the smaller of the two, but I'm going to happily put it in a closet for next year, as it's a really good quality hat from what I can tell. The lining is lovely and soft, the outer material is sturdy and warm. My only suggestion would be to have strings on the bottom of the ear flaps, both to keep it tight over the ears when tied under the chin, and also to tie it up over the top when you don't want to cover your child's ears; they don't "stand up" on their own. Otherwise, great product, I'm very happy with it! And Zappos was a fantastic company to purchase from, their staff were friendly and helpful.
