Customer Reviews Chaco Z/2® Unaweep

I purchased these shoes as river shoes for an upcoming trip. It takes a little bit of playing around with the straps to get them adjusted just right and awhile to break in. These are great shoes however buy them ahead of time and allow time to break in.

Every year I spend time white water rafting in Idaho. Chaco makes terrific water shoes and the Z/2 Unaweep is no exception. They are extremely comfortable and have a great design. Most importantly they have great traction on slippery surfaces. This is my second pair and I intend on buying another pair soon.

These sandals are great! They're stylish and comfortable. The toe strap can take some getting used to and might rub your big toe red the first few times of wearing them, even more so if you have sensitive skin like me, but it's not bad. Be careful on sizing - the straps are rather long, so if you have boney feet you may want to round down your size to avoid a long hanging strap. I love my Chacos and highly recommend them!

Chacos are the absolute best technical sandals available. Hands down! My first pair of Z2's lasted 9 years before I replaced them. The support that you get from the toe loop, especially when going downhill is fantastic!

I have had these Chacos for 4 years now and they only look better with a little wear. I recommend these to anyone and everyone. They are perfect for every activity from kayaking to walking around. When you buy Chacos you are buying a guarantee that they will do everything that you ask them to do plus some. Also the vibram bottoms will last forever.

So glad these are available in solid colors other than black! These are my third or fourth pair of Chacos, and they are my go-to summer sandal. I live in a southern city and walk everywhere, so these are my primary shoes for about 7-8 months out of the year. I walk about 30 miles/week between commuting and running errands, and each pair lasts about two years before the soles start to crack. I usually wear a woman's 11W or 11WW (a Men's 10 in Chacos) and I have a very high arch and instep. These sandals support and accommodate my difficult-to-fit feet, and have a firm footbed, which is helpful if you have plantar fascitis. I wouldn't call Chacos "stylish," exactly, but even in stuffy Washington, DC, I am seeing them more and more. If you live in the West or Northwest, then you probably already own a pair!

This is my third pair of Chacos, the previous two being flip flops, and all I can say is that I am highly impressed. I used to go through a pair of sandals a summer, wearing them literally everywhere, until I bought my first pair of Chacos in 2009. They finally broke last fall, so I quickly ordered a replacement pair. Best value footwear bar non. So I knew I had to give their Unaweeps a shot, as everyone I knew in college swore by them. These are as burly as a lightweight hiking boot for a sole, but with the wearability of a sandal as an upper. perfect balance for longer walks or hikes. Somewhat tough to break in, but well worth it, my only complaint really would be my "chaco tails" problem, the strap is a little long for my low volume foot, but I just wrap them around the heel strap and am on my way. You can't go wrong, and these things seem like they will last forever. If you are thinking about buying a pair, just get them and don't look back.

The sandals were great and the service even better. We live out in the desert of California (Death Valley) so shop on the web a lot. We both ordered sandals in two sizes then bought the ones we liked best. The return of the sandals was easy and free and the folks in customer service were great to work with on the phone. Made everything clear and easy to understand no problem.

Great walking sandals. Excellent stability, traction. The lacing system takes some getting used to, but, once done, it makes for a very comfortable, supportive shoe. Tips: if you're a half-size, order up; the patterned straps seem to be easier to adjust than the all-black ones. I switched from Keens, and am very happy that I did.

I am very happy with my Chaco sandals thus far. I have been wearing them most every day for a few weeks now and I really have no complaints. I am a pretty skinny guy with thin feet and the sandals fit nice and snug. I do have quite a bit of extra strap after tightening them up, but I can tuck the extra into the sandal straps. They are very comfortable sandals. I went on an easy hike yesterday and they felt good.

These shoes are great! I will definitely buy more Chacos. If you are outdoors-y, they are the perfect shoe because you can get them wet, hike, bike, camp, you name it. They are also more comfortable than my sneakers! They run big unless you have very wide feet, so go down if you wear a half size.

These are excellent sandals. They took several days to break in, but have become very comfortable. One feature I'd like to highlight is the fact that unlike all my other shoes, these are extremely easy to keep clean, which is important because black straps and insoles show sweat stains and dead skin easily. The solution is to throw them in the shower (or wear them in the shower) and they stay looking brand new. They also dry quickly, which is great.

Very happy with my Chacos! Love this color as well. So comfortable with great arch support. I first ordered an 11 but they were too big so I returned them for a 10. My foot measures a 10 and 1/2. Highly recommend this sandal!

I have very flat feet and at first molded footbed was uncomfortable. Also, it took me a little while to get used to the straps. They chafed and created blisters on my toes. I used bandaids the second day out and by the third day there were no issues (straps loosened and softened). Although it took a few days for these to break in, they are now the most comfortable shoes/sandals I own. At the end of the day my back and legs ache less. But the big surprise for me was how good they felt to run in. Note: I gave the style 5 stars despite the fact that these are clearly not designed to be stylish. I didn't see the need to lower the perfect rating because there's nothing I would change about the design.

Super comfy for hiking, wading through rivers, and playing. Hang to your feet in all the right ways, and I can hike around all day without getting blistered. Just enough coverage at the edges that I don't stub my toes.

I went through several styles and sizes before I found one that fit. Zappos was excellent in getting the sandals to me fast. I have had the sandals only about a month and wore them about a dozen times. They have adjustable straps for a perfect fit and are easy to get on and off. They are a keeper.

The toe strap takes some getting used to, but in the end this was actually more comfortable than the Z/1 for me. I've been wearing these all over NYC and am very very happy with these shoes. Looking forward to when I can take these hiking and kayaking this summer.

I wanted a sandal for walking that offered arch support and comfort plus that was cooling on the feet. These sandals filled all those needs. And they have excellent arch support. I have only had them for three weeks but no issues with these sandals at all. I usually wear size 11-12 shoes but went with 13s on these and that was the right size choice. Plus again I cannot say enough about the service I get from Zappos. I love this company!

These Chaco's really work. I got turned on to Chaco's from my son and they are really comfortable. I tend to wear sandals all summer long and he wears them on the hiking trail so I will try that as well this summer. The sandals seem to make you walk better the way they are formed.

Another Great Pair - These new Chacos are even better than before. This is my third pair of chacos in the last 8 years - I had the old lug sole, then the Colorado and these are my favorites. The foot bed is also more comfortable than before. If they last anywhere near as long, I'll be ecstatic.
