Customer Reviews Chaco Flip EcoTread - DELETED

I was looking for a comfortable walking shoes or flip-flops. I normally wear a size 7. The shoe bed fit perfectly, but the straps were a little loose. I chose to order the leather black flip-flops for comparison. After reading several reviews I ordered a size 7 and 8 as most said the leather flip-flops ran small. They did. I ended up keeping the 8; I have never worn an 8 in my life, but to me they fit like the 7 should have.

These are very comfortable flip-flops. I like them. The soles are thin and relatively flat, so being a fan of barefoot shoes, they please me. I have a Morton's Neuroma, and these flip flops do not bother my feet. I am a size 8.5, so I ordered an 8 and a 9. The 8's fit. They seemed a little small at first, but now I think they're just right.

I bought these sandals about a month ago and I love them. They are super comfortable to walk in even for a couple of miles. They are lightweight and have nice tread on the sole.

These are a more attractive flip flop. Love the comfort of the fabric upper strap, I've worn these for 3 weeks on & off, can't say that I love them. There actually is some arch support, but the sole is very hard. There are neat little nubs on the foot surface that fell good on my feet, but the hard sole has absolutely no give. They are okay for going to the store or a short walk with the dog, but not for all day anywhere.

I am pleased overall with these, but had a hard time reconciling spending that much money for a pair of flip flops. I made the choice based on the other reviews; I was looking for good arch support. The soles are a bit stiff, but they are really comfortable.

Decided to try a different brand of sport flip flop this summer. Loved the color of the Chaco. The arch support is very good. My reason for giving 4 stars rather than 5 is the weight of the sandal. It's a bit heavy and quite expensive for this type shoe. Will likely go back to Reef next time.

I am 57 years old and I have been wearing flip flops my entire life. Since I am getting up in years I decided to get a flip flop with an arch support. Unlike any flip flop I have ever wore, these needed a break-in period; for me, about a month. Flip flops should not need to be broken-in. I paid quite a bit for these sandals and even though my feet and legs never get tired I always go back to my Havaianas. They are what they say they are but it takes too much time to get there, Sorry!

Super comfortable flip flop. Just wish the inside of the flip flop was a smoother surface. I needed to get used to it.

These flips are very cute and I love the sunset color. The first thing I noticed is that there is less width and length than all the other flipflops I own in the same size. Which isn't to say they are too small for me, they simply are more compact I guess, and I'm a size 9 so anything that makes my feet look smaller I love! But if I had a wider foot they may not fit or I may needed a larger size. I had no problem with the thong part, it is very comfortable. I have flat feet and really need that extra arch support, and these shoes have it. That being said, there's only so much support you can get from a flip flop! I really like the diamond pattern on the footbed and I didn't need any time to get used to it, it's sort of massaging. I also think this footbed is much better at keeping down moisture and foot odor which tend to be a problem with most flip flops. My only negative is that there really is not enough cushioning for me. I can wear them for several hours, but then my soles hurt and I need to change into something more comfortable (and I'm on my feet a lot running after a five year old). On the positive side, I've never had a pair of flip flops that immediately felt like they belonged on my feet, conforming to every curve. The lift in the toes helps keep the shoes on and I don't have to grip as tightly as usual, and they don't flop around as much as others. All in all I highly recommend these shoes (and you can't beat a lifetime guarantee!) but I wouldn't be wearing them hiking or walking around all day. For me they are great for casual use, running errands, kicking around the neighborhood and so forth.

These have great arch support for my very high arches. I normally wear a size 8 1/2 and in these, the 8 is too short, but the 9 is too long. This matters in a shoe that has great arch support!

I wanted to love this shoe, but it was too narrow at the top of the foot. I kept them for a few days, determined to stretch them out, but they didn't. I sent them back. The style was very cute though.

Best arch support of what seems like the hundreds of flip-flops I've tried. Only problem is the sizing. I'm a true 6 1/2. The 6 just barely "almost" fit and the 7 flopped around and was much too long. Why don't they make half sizes in most sandals? Great service from Zappos as usual.

I needed a flip with good arch support because I over-pronate. I ordered 4 different pair and these had, by far, the best support. Unfortunately, the underside of the straps rub my foot but they were so comfy otherwise that I kept them. I'm hoping the straps will soften with wear, or my tender feet will get used to them. I got the Zebra Aqua and the color is great. I wear a 6.5 shoe but can usually wear a 6 sandal and the 6 in these fits well.

These are good and sturdy. Excellent arch support,firm rubber foot bed-yet flexiable enough to allow comfortable walking everyday!

Seemed comfy, but too narrow at the toes for me -- even though I ordered up a full size! I had to return them.

I am thrilled with these sandals. They have great arch support so I can wear them all day, even on long walks. I would recommend these to anyone looking for an all purpose walking sandal, comfy and casual!

This is a terrific flip-flop for anyone who is looking for arch support. Wow! Unfortunately, I had to return because the thong area hurt the top of my foot. I do have this company in "my favorites" and my next purchase will be a sandal with no thong. Zappos Rocks!

Surprisingly comfortable and durable. After my dog chewed one, I replaced the pair as they have become a staple.

At first these flip flops killed my feet. I had to wear Band-Aids every time I wore them. After about two weeks, they became the most comfortable flip flops I own. I was warned about this ahead of time so I was fully prepared to endure the pain for the comfort that would come. I wear a 7.5 and the 8 was perfect.

Great support, but caused blisters at first. Definitely need break-in time. I can tell the difference in the support and quality of these, versus less expensive flip flops. Due to the weight of the shoe, however, they rubbed and caused blisters the first time I wore them. I am still in the process of breaking them in.

I wear these for swim coaching. Great support. I found they got stinky after only 2 months of wear, and the foot bed was a bit irritating at first. Regardless, and due to the support, I am reordering.

The arch support in this is insane. I have not made a habit of wearing footwear to support my high arches, so this was very different and I\'m still getting used to it. The straps may pose a problem though, and I\'ll just have to wait and see. It rubs on the top of my foot, and I may have to buy something to put under the straps to avoid rubbing on my skin. It takes some getting used to I think if you\'re not used to wearing footwear with such thorough support. I think its going to be good for my feet though.

Fantastic arch support. I find these true to size, and not too big as others did in their reviews.

I do like the chaco flip eco tread. I would not otherwise be able to wear a flip flop. I would have liked to have seen a bit more support in the arch. You can tell it is there, but I could have used even more.

Provide excellent arch support, no back issues at all with these flip flops. Very hard to break in though, the part the fits between the toes is wide and uncomfortable in the beginning and the part of the webbing that attaches on each side of the foot rubs the inside of my foot. Went camping and wore these while wet and they blistered my feet terribly, but any other shoe would have been as bad I\'m afraid. I also have a fairly narrow foot and wouldn\'t recommend these to anyone with a medium\/wide foot.
