Good looking walking sandal - I purchased this sandal for a ten-day trip to China, wore it every day and found it to be comfortable and attractive with skirts. It is risky to take new shoes on a long trip but the leather is very soft and I had no problems with the sandal.

The best! I have several pairs of BeautiFeel sandals that I have worn for over 5 years because I couldn't find any shoe comfortable enough to replace them. Thank You Zappos!! I have surgery on both feet and refuse to wear uncomfortable shoes just because they LOOK good. These shoes are fabulous right out of the box, you can wear them all day and never even think about what you have on. I bought two other BeautiFeel sandals too. Don't let the price stop you from trying these!

Feels like you’re walking on air but feet get sweaty in the shoe! Feels great the minute you step into them.

Beautiful & Comfortable - I recently purchased these sandals in salmon color. They are gorgeous & a really great walking shoe. I bought them for a recent trip to L.A. & didn't see anything prettier at Nordstrom's. I would recommend these sandals to everyone who is looking for these qualities in a nice sandal - they are well worth the money spent.

Beautiful Sandal, but pricey - I'm still in sticker shock but this is a gorgeous sandal and it's quite comfortable. Only time will tell if it's worth the price - for what I paid, these shoes had better last me at least five years. The sizes run a bit small - normally I wear a 10.5, and I ordered the size 42 (11-11.5) and it's a snug fit. The 41 would definitely have been too small.

This is a walker’s shoe that looks good, too - The first pair ran large so ordered 1/2 size small and its fine. They do have a swooshy sound of air released from the insole initially, but that goes away pretty soon. I 'm normally not too keen on Velcro straps, but these are OK and don't scratch your skin. I think they will be what I'd choose for a long day of sightseeing and standing in line. The blue color is great looking.

Where's the nearest store? It is a beautiful shoe but seems to run narrower and causing it to feel/look shorter. Wish I could return these to a local shoe store and pick up the next size. One day service is great though. I am retuning mine and may order 9-9.5. Excellent craftsmanship.

Is that me or the sandals? These are absolutely spectacular, out-of-the-box comfortable, and in the salmon color, too cool for school. And they're going back. As The Police sang, "every step you take" you'll hear little air burps. Maybe those aren't the words, but that is the effect. A Customer Service rep suggested talcum powder, but I was afraid to possibly damage the sandals -- and for the money, I didn't want to get stuck. So no powder tries, and back they go. What a disappointment!

Cute and comfy - I tried "BeautiFeel" shoes in the shoe store, and was amazed at their comfort and construction. I ordered this style from Zappos (who are always great)to try at home and determine if they are "keepers." I like the fisherman-strap look because it camouflages my wide feet and bunions. Since there are no "wides," in this style, I ordered a 40 instead of a 39. It seems to fit, and I'm very happy during this "testing" period. Last year, through Zappos, I ordered a fisherman sandal from Softspots. The vertical straps, after a summer, separated so that my bunion sticks out, and so does my little toe. Comfortable, but not a pretty sight! BeautiFeel’s meshwork of straps won't allow this to happen, and the quality is better. I'm also testing BeautiFeel’s Degas dress shoes, and loving the fit and their beautiful look. Is it too good to be true that my feet can be comfortable in such a pretty shoe? Happy I found BeautiFeel.

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.
