Bought these as I wanted something that didn't have a strap across the back of the heel (Dr's orders for an inflamed Achilles) and yet would 'fit' the foot without being like a flip flop. These worked perfect. I must say I did end up with a blister on the ball of one foot- my mistake for not having the sandal tightened up enough- so for me there was a 'break in period. I like how they can be adjusted to fit my narrow-ish feet (M width is still just a tad too wide for me) and now find them extremely comfortable and they look so cute. I found them to be true-to-size; I wear a 9 and bought a 9- plenty of room for my long toes. They have great arch support and thick enough soles to keep rocks from being a bother. I like these well enough that I'll probable buy a second pair in another color (I got the snapdragon this time around- a nice wine-rose shade).

Love these sandals -
I really love these sandals, I feel they give a comfort fit, with good arch support, and are soooo cute! Also has a nice sole so doesn’t slide around. This one has it all!

Wonderful!
I ordered two pairs of these shoes in different colors. They are some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn-- terrific cushioning and super cute.

Picky feet -
I have rheumatoid arthritis and not very many shoes are wearable. These are! A happy thing!

Great arch support-
I have problems with my arches, Chaco make all the difference in the world. When I go to Disney World this is the brand I walk in.

Really like this flip flop. I had ankle surgery and I pronate, so I love the arch support and the extra straps for stabilty. I had to get used to the highly textured footbed after wearing socks all winter, but it\'s fine now. Had to get used to the flatness after wearing clogs-felt like a negative heel. I wish the front had raised toe grips. Seems like my left heel hits on the outer edge, but it could just be my foot. I feel like the sole will last a while unlike the 2 pair of Reefs I had.

These Chaco sandals look great. On the downside the foot bed is a bit hard on my feet, so it is taking a while to get used to them.

Purchased this sandal for a vacation in Hawaii. Love the great iconic Chaco arch support, and the adjustable all-the-way-through strap. Unfortunately, the "flip flop" toe part of the webbing does not adjust and was a little loose on my foot, as I run a bit narrow. It was awkward to have part of the webbing fit snugly and the rest loose as I walked. Not the best fit for my foot, but for a medium width or wider, I would not hesitate to buy this shoe.

Cute flip flops! Good quality with arch support. The thong strap a little too loose for me, but the crisscross straps adjust well. Montrail Molokini remains my ultimate favorite in this category; sole even more comfy.

I love these sandals! I bought them, one, because of my job. I am a pool manager here on Okinawa, and I prefer to wear sandals rather than walking around bare foot. We had a group of people come out this summer and help at the pools. A couple of the girls had them (different style) but they looked comfortable. So I looked them up. Got very excited to find they were in red! They are super comfy, the arch is in the exact spot it needs to be and I was able to purchase my normal size and it be right on the money as far as the fit. I recommended these to many. The sole is nice, I don't slip around on the pool deck and I am not afraid to get these wet. I also liked the adjustable straps, which is nice because like most, my right foot is different than my left.

I bought these shoes a couple months ago for a camping trip, but couldn't wear them after the first day due to blisters. My feet had to get used to the extra straps and they were pretty stiff, so I didn't feel the same comfort that I was used to with my older Chaco flips. Having owned several pair of Chacos in the past and loving them, I stuck with these shoes and finally broke them in. I'm glad that I have them; they are good for going in the water without worrying that they will come off and have good arch support for walking. That said, I probably would have been more satisfied if I had just bought another pair of the Chaco flips instead.

I ordered the Hipthong based on the great reviews. I have constant swelling in my left foot and ankle and wanted a sandal with adjustable straps so that I could accommodate the swelling. I love these sandals. I bought them in digital green and while they started out feeling like hard bricks on my feet, they did become much more comfortable the more I wore them. I\'m still getting used to the arch support because I have flat arches but overall I really like these sandals. The best part was the great customer service from Zappos. When I first wanted to order the Hipthongs (in either blue or green) they were both out of stock in my size. I signed up for the email alert and Zappos notified me as soon as the sandal was back in stock. Imagine my absolute delight when I received the sandals the very next day without having to pay for express shipping. Thank you Zappos for the quick delivery and the great customer service. You\'re a true pleasure to buy from!!

While I really like the look of these Chacos. If you have a narrow foot you will have to adjust some of the straps and they won't be even with the straps that are not adjustable. I made them work, but they luckily fit my daughter better.

Love my sandals. I've got another pair of Chaco's and they are as comfortable. They stay on my feet and are great for walking in. My only surprise was the color. I ordered the green and the color is much brighter than the pic. online.

Comfortable sandals from a support perspective, not mushy, cushy flip flops. The straps adjust to fit, which is very nice. I would recommend these for when you need more support than a "standard" flip flop but not necessarily a stand-in for a sport sandal.

Very cute and comfortable. Not quite as much arch support as other reviewers led me to believe, but definitely better than other flip flops!

Good sandal but needs smaller straps -
I bought this sandal in pink and I love the footbed. The arch support is great and the overall support seems great as well. For me the problem was that the straps that aren't adjustable were too tall and so when I tightened the adjustable straps the toe area was too loose and rubbed on my foot when I walked. I have a thin foot so maybe they work well for people with thicker feet :) otherwise a comfortable sandal.

Arch support comfort -
I really like my hip thongs - they are sporty and cute, but after a day of wearing, my arches are sore. It’s strange because when I initially put them on they are very comfortable. I am a half size and went a size down. The foot bed must be just a little off for me.

HipThong in pink. I really like the look of these, and the arch support is great. I just didn't like the adjustable straps. I wish they would make a regular flip-flop with this type of footbed that would be a winner! My foot kept slipping out of shoe; my feet kept creeping down the shoe, very frustrating no matter how many times I adjusted the straps.

I am not a big flip-flop fan (don't like things between my toes, generally), but I got these anyway as I needed a somewhat-fitted waterproof shoe. I didn't expect to like them much, but they are great.
This is the comfiest shoe for my foot that I think I've ever worn. The arch is perfect (my arches are rather high) and the sole of the shoe is squishy yet supportive. The thong part doesn't bother me at all, surprisingly. They're cuter than the usual flip-flop and they both flip and flop less, also, due to an adjustable fit. I usually wear a size 8.5, and the instructions said order up, which I did. They fit perfectly.
I can't wear them to work...and that's a shame.

Perfect for what I was looking for!
I'd been looking for sandals I could wear in the water that didn't cover my whole foot or go around my ankle - these are great! I do wish they came in half sizes though - but the arch is great for sandals- really good support. If you have wider feet, make sure you try them on - the non-adjustable strap that goes across your foot is a little tight.

Loose strap -
Arch support is great and the look is great. Only problem is that I have the strap pulled as tight as I can and the extra material dangles on the ground. I don't know how they can fix it and it is pretty annoying because if it is looser it is too loose.

Snappy flip flop-runs true to size!
I originally ordered this shoe smaller than my usual as many posts said it ran small. Upon arrival it was too small and I actually had to return it and get my usual size.
It is very comfortable, I like the adjustable straps (it is actually very similar in feel to an old pair of Teva's I have.) You need to pick up your toes when you walk because the "normal" thong straps are looser and not adjustable and you get the feeling like the shoe will fly off when you walk. Good thing is if your feet swell you can loosen the straps.
I stand all day in the heat and these have worked out great!

First time trying Chacos -
I really like the look of all the Chacos, but after trying several pairs I fell for the hip thong. The heel straps on the other don't stay on my narrow heel. I like the sporty look while still being delicate enough to wear with a broom skirt. The foot bed is very comfortable. The toe strap is soft. My only problem is with the straps. I have very small feet and can never find a shoe where the straps actually touch the top of my feet. I have these straps pulled all the way and they dangle rather obnoxiously on the ground. I just happen to have very small feet. But other than that I love em!

Not like original Chacos -
I was surprised to find the Cross Currents sole feels completely different than the "original" Chaco sole. They are so cute compared to my clunky black originals, I wanted to get some for the boat. This shoe fit me better than the Wrapsody (it's wider somehow), but still is nothing like the comfort of the Headwaters series for me.
