Customer Reviews Chaco Z/2® Unaweep

What a great sandal! I had ordered another type of sandals (Teva's) when my son insisted that I HAD to try the Chacos (he's always in the know about this type of stuff) so I ordered a pair. Both pair arrived about the same time so it was easy to compare. Hands down, these are the best ever. I started wearing them around the house (winter in the NE means snow on the ground) - yes the foot bed was a bit rough for winter feet - but I know I will be glad about the traction when water is introduced. Love the support - I am no longer young, so my knees and ankles are not as strong as they once were and I feel confident and sure footed in these. I played with various adjustments on the straps, but eventually found a way to make them perfect. Great that there is the option - a feature that should work for lots of folks. Cute too - love the blue color.

Amazing - I am so happy with this shoe. I have been a fan of the Chaco sandal for some time, but I've been hesitant to try the design with the toe wrapped. I've never liked something between my toes, but thought I would give this a try anyway. So glad I did. It keeps my foot firmly in place as I move actively around. Love this shoe!

Call me a critic, but I don't give five-star ratings unless they're earned. All I can say is WOW! I am on my feet most of the day, and these boots perform like a cross-training shoe. Great support, traction, and looks. And as soon as I put them on, I could feel my feet getting warm. This is going to be a great winter!

I love them! I have problems with my arches sometimes, and even get cramps in the arches of my feet if I don't wear supportive footwear. I have worn these sandals as much as possible since I have had them because they are great! I have hiked sand dunes, hiked a rocky trail, waded up stream to a waterfall, and went shopping in them. If I could wear them to work I would never take them off! I normally wear 8.5 but the 9 fits great. The sizing chart was right on.

Shoe of Excellence - This shoe is light and comfortable. I feel like my feet are natural softly padded. This is an excellent shoe. Helps relieve pressure off your legs.

These are the most comfortable shoes on the planet... I'm on my 3rd pair. You do have to break them in because the top is a little stiff at first, but they are heavenly after a few wearings.

Fantastic sandal - My son has hiked the Smokey Mountains in these sandals for years and encouraged me to get a pair when I said I needed a good walking shoe with a lot of support. I'd been having serious problems with neuropathy in addition to aging arches. I am amazed at the way these sandals have improved my ability to walk. I'm into walking miles at a time now. Highly recommend this sandal.

These are great! These shoes are so comfortable! I just got my first pair of Chacos about a month ago and I have been wearing them on a daily basis. I have actually not taken them hiking or anything yet, but they are perfect for walking to classes, shopping, or anything for that matter! Besides, they are very cute!

Most comfortable shoes ever - I love Chacos! I've got narrow, rather flat feet and these are amazingly comfortable. It takes some practice to get the straps adjusted just right, but I've never had any problem with the toe loop tightening like some other reviewers. They're great for hiking or water sports and the Jupiter color is really pretty (well, as pretty as Chacos get!).

A paradise of casual comfort. I have barely taken this shoe off since it arrived and then only reluctantly. It is possibly the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn and that's high praise coming from a Birkenstock girl. There are only two things I don't like about them, the plastic footbed, which does not breathe, thereby creating a sweaty foot problem (a small price to pay for big comfort), and the overall look of the shoe is a little masculine. I would love to see this shoe with a leather sole and more feminine shape and buckle design.

Great, comfortable shoe!! I normally wear a 7 1/2 or 8 and I took a 7. The first pair I got regular and the straps were barely long enough. The next pair I got 7Wide and the straps are longer but same shoe base. Perfect!! Great walking, street or sand!!

Ecological, Comfortable, and Attractive - This is my second pair of Unaweep Z/2 Chacos. My first pair was an 8 men’s, as the store did not carry a women's wide. This pair, a 10 wide women's fits just as well. The Atlantis strapping is beautiful; the arch support is very supportive without being too firm. I have owned my first pair of Chaco Z/2s for over three years and they get a great deal of wear as my daily footwear and light hiking shoes. I have had them resoled twice and restrapped by Chaco for a reasonable price and terrific workmanship. The Z/2 is very comfortable, once you get used to the toe loop. I need the extra stability for hiking and cycling. It is very durable, and as a sport sandal goes, stylish and actually kind of sexy and feminine. I used to wear Birkenstocks because they are so good for your feet, but I hate the rather clumpy look of the original sandals. I feel I get the same sort of support from the Chaco Z/2, but it is a more versatile shoe, great for walking everywhere. The only downside to this shoe is that because the shoe bed is a polymer, the shoes and my feet stink terribly after a couple of days of wearing them. However, these shoes are completely waterproof and I clean them down with baking soda and a brush in the tub or wash them in the machine. A very durable, ecological shoe because of its ability to be resoled and restrapped. Zappos did a great job of shipping this shoe. Kudos to Zappos!

My feet are as flat as they come and are becoming more painful as I age. This is the ONLY SANDAL I can wear. I have to use custom orthotics for all other shoes and can't wear anything non supportive for any length of time. Even standing bare foot is usually painful. I do not have troubles with the strap strangling my toe like I have read about, in either double strap/single strap Chaco style. I will be buying many more pairs of these shoes, THEY ARE WONDERFUL! Worth every cent. Zappos is awesome because of the free shipping/return you can order one pair and if the size is incorrect simply return and try again. I hope the Chacos help your feet like they have helped mine!

You’ll love them - I pulled these out of the box and wore them to an amusement park they felt great. I have heard the straps loosen as you wear them, I haven't had that problem. I was afraid the ribbon would get dirty fast. The whole sole can be dusty and the ribbons stay clean.

Wonderful for flat feet! I have the flattest feet my podiatrist has ever seen, and I used to wear Birkenstocks religiously until the Dr. told me to find shoes that hold my feet together more. I have had large flat feet my whole life and have never found a good pair of open sandals until I found these. I absolutely love these and they provide just as much support and comfort as a well loved pair of Birks. You will not be sorry if you have flat feet and are in search of a sandal that won't kill your feet. They're durable and you can replace the worn down or broken parts of the shoe. Definitely a good investment!

Even after reading all the reviews I had to give these a try. After "playing" with the strap for over 1/2 hour, I gave up and sent them back. I could never find the right comfort level and they were too expensive to sit in my closet. The concept is cool – it just didn't work for me. I have a high instep and lots of heel problems. Zappos is wonderful; returns w/o question and they make it so easy. Been shopping here since 2005 and will continue.

Fabulous place to shop! Super customer service! I got great shopping help! The sandals are PERFECT for my feet!

Luv these sandals - My first pair of Chaco’s-fit perfectly thanks to other customer’s suggestions about sizes-GREAT support-wore them for hours the very first day and felt like I had always had them!!! All this and awesome delivery--received them in approx. 17 hours, 40 minutes from the time I placed my on-line order-WOW!!!

The everywhere shoe - This is the shoe I wear when I don't know where the day will take me. I am comfortable in them all day and they support my feet well. They are lightweight, but often too clunky looking to wear with a skirt. I am usually a size 8, but a 7 fits me.

My second pair... and counting. I recently ordered these to replace a pair I had worn out - the exact same style and color as the first. They were very sturdy, but I put them through the paces by literally wearing them around the world and the sole eventually split (the straps were fine and intact). I walked 512 miles across northern Spain last summer and wore my old Chacos about half the time. Some days I would walk 15 or 16 miles in just the Chacos and my feet would be fine at the end of the day - no blisters at all, just some mighty impressive calluses. They do stink a bit if you get them wet, but overall I couldn't ask for a better trail-to-restaurant-to-lounging-around-the-hostel shoe. I love a wide shoe with good arch support, so this shoe had me from Hello.

Love them! Chacos are wonderful!!! I've had many pairs of Tevas in the past, but would ditch them in a second for Chaco. They have excellent arch support and are completely adjustable so they fit my narrow foot quite well. I own this pair plus another style (which strangle my toe) but I love them both!
