Chaco

Mega Z Cloud

Women's

Love these sandals! I have narrow feet and love the way you can adjust the straps to fit. The straps are wider and much softer than the other styles. I feel like they are more secure on my feet. I originally ordered the ZX/1 and the straps bothered my right foot where I have a bunion. So far the mega cloud is the one that works for me!

When I 1st put them on, the arch immediately rose my foot to attention. Lol. I love the one hand tighten & release brass buckle strap. No more bothersome with adjusting straps & snapping buckles. The sandal accommodates all foot widths & the foot bed is very comfy. The soles are truly super grip. If you're going down marble stairs, take your time. They accommodate hiking, rough terrain, walking trails & stew very comfortable indoors or outdoors. The color is pretty too.

Wore these out of the box for 10 straight days traveling to Kenya. They are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn. The gold buckle is my favorite part (looks metal but it's plastic).

This is my first pair of Chacos. I'd never considered a sandal like this or any of the other sandals of this type b/c of my narrow foot. After reading the reviews & checking out how to adjust these sandals, I determined that I should give them a try, at least. The adjusting is very easy, only 3 steps, & after the first time adjustment, I haven't had to adjust them again. The reviews stated that the wide straps were more comfortable than the narrow straps, so the Mega Z Cloud in Blazer Navy seemed like the best choice for me. So far, I find that I like them very much. I wear a 6AA, so the issue of the sandals looking too large did not bother me. With Zappo's easy return policy, I would advise anyone on the fence about ordering these sandals to just go ahead & try them. What have you got to lose? Also, for anyone wanting an adjustment on the heel strap, the Chaco website can make this (or any other) strap adjustments for a price.

Full disclosure: I have difficult feet. That being said, I've found walking sandals over the years that met my needs. My favorite of all time was the now discontinued Teva Fi 2, which I've been desperate to replace since I bought my last pair in 2012. The newer Terra Fi is a pale imitation. I'd been wearing Chaco flip flops for years for support and comfort, but their popular hiking sandals aren't the best fit for me. I need the toe loop to keep them snug, but they tighten as I walk, and quickly "strangle" my big toe, so I can't wear them for more than a mile or so. When I saw this new "Mega" style, it really caught my eye, and the reviews I read said it ran on the narrow side (a plus for me), so I decided to try them. First of all, they're really pretty out of the box (for a hiking sandal). They adjust fairly easily (much more so than the the Z/2) and while they're not a perfect fit (I have to size a full size down to be able to wear Chacos as even their regular size runs very wide), the arch hits my foot at the right place. I still have some issues with the straps tightening as a I walk, but all in all, this is by far the best sandal I've found since the Teva Terra Fi 2. And I love the way they look. So if you like Chacos, you should like these. My dream is for Chaco to make a flip with the Z/2 sole for narrow feet. Maybe some day!
