These have great arch support. I had been having problems with the big toe joint in one of my feet, which wearing bad shoes exacerbates, but these Chacos are really helping. The strap, especially where the toe strap joins the wide strap, is pretty rough, however. I have blisters right now on the top of both my feet, and I have only worn these shoes around the house for relatively short periods of time to cook, clean, do laundry, etc. I haven't actually walked much in them at all. I wouldn't plan to wear them for long periods of time until you know if they'll bother you. Also, to the Chacos designers, I thought the flip flops could be a little higher. My toes hang off the front just a touch, though it's definitely the right size. I can imagine my toes potentially scraping the pavement and/or getting really dirty. If you're a half size, I would definitely go up. Overall, I'm really glad I bought them.

We love Chaco Flips and have a few pair. These seemed particularly narrow for some reason. My daughter has had no problem with the flips before this pair...so it may just be one of those things. Love the colors...and the footbed!\r\n

I read the other reviews and ordered a 10 when most of the time i wear a 9 or 9 1/2. I do have a wide foot so i thought a 10 would be good. It is a good fit! Like others have stated. They were a bit snug out of the box, but I wore them around the house with a pair of socks for a day or so. It looked funny but it worked and stopped me from getting blisters, etc. Now I love them! They are cute and not heavy or bulky. the arch is great and I need that! They do not flap against the bottom of my foot like some, which is nice. I would buy again, but hope these will last a long time! Seem well made so I expect them to last more than one season! I'm giving them 4 stars and still love my Birkenstock the best but these are great and can get wet!

Love these Chacos, but I found the straps to be too tight. I don't have a high instep nor do I have fat feet, but the straps on these cut into my feet. I've tried to stretch them, but nothing seems to work. Arch support is great, but I have to wear my other Chacos and look for another flip with arch support.

I have been looking for a replacement for my Teva flips that they no longer make. These are nice flips but still not replacement for the Tevas. These are really tight across the top of my foot, and I\'m hoping they stretch out. They are narrower than I expectd. Not bad, but not my Tevas.

These initially rubbed the top of my feet -- not bad enough to blister but I did develop a callus. Anyway, once I wore them in they are very comfortable. Lots of arch support -- much better than your average flip flop.

Love these! The straps are a little tight at first, but break in easy. I might buy another pair in another color.

I really like the Chaco flip flops because they have very good arch support. Because the website said they were true to size, I ordered a size 6 (my usual size) and it turned out to be way too tight on my foot – rare for a flip flop. The size 7, though still snug, feels much better. As I have worn them, they have stretched a bit, so they are quite comfortable now. So my advice is to order the next size up.

I normally love these sandals. They have great arch support and are very comfortable but...the blue zebra stripe material rubs the top of my foot leaving blisters. I can't wear them without protecting my skin with band aids!

I have other Chacos and love the arch support. These have great arch support, too, but are quite tight to start. The thong part is much more close fitting than other flips I have worn in the past (mostly Reefs). These actually squeeze my foot! I see other reviewers have mentioned the breaking-in period required for this. I look forward to comfy wearing in the future.

Unlike every other style of Chaco that I own these do appear to run a bit small. When I first put them on the webbing did feel tight and constricting and I was worried about getting blisters. After wearing them for a few days around the house, however, they did stretch out and soften and now I\'m absolutely thrilled with them. If you are at all concerned about size I would recommend ordering up! Just keep in mind that the webbing does relax with wear.

Like but don't LOVE these sandals. Like other Chacos, they get a 10 on comfort. However, these flip-flops SQUEAK. Hard to be sneaky sneaky when your flops give you away. Something about the (very comfy) waffle/weave footbed? No idea. Doesn't seem to make a difference if I've been extra pamper-y to my feet, either.

These Chacos are a replacement for my usual dinky summer flip-flops - my back and arches finally couldn’t handle the cheapie ones anymore. The Chacos are super comfy and supportive for my high arches - not an ache or pain in my feet or back! I was thrilled! I wear them almost everyday - I do hope they last the summer since I think they are quite expensive for essentially a nylon strap and rubber wedge. The one complaint I have is that the nylon strap seems super thick (especially between the toes). My feet and between my toes were cut up from the strap for the first week or two. I also wish they had nicer/hipper colors and patterns in the non-leather versions. I ended up buying a black pair and they seem almost masculine to me. Great comfy shoe though! It’s so nice to be able to walk long distances in flip-flops and not feel like my back has been wrenched out of shape!

The arches, heel and tiny "treads" in the foot bed feel great! The only flip flops I own that have some arch support (which is the reason I bought them). However, like many other buyers, I noticed that the straps (not the footbed--that is perfect) run a little more narrow than I would like. Since the straps are a little tight, I will NOT wear these sandals for extended walking trips. The next pair of Chacos I order will be from the men's department.

Love Them -
At first I stomped around a little when walking, but once I adjusted, I loved the sandal. Has an excellent arch. Strap felt tight, but did loosen up after I wore them more than once. Will buy more!

Great arch support and non slip soles. However, when I got them, the strap rubbed on the top of my feet, but then they stretched out. Now they fit great.

Great durable flip-flop but still very cute (I got them in snow pea). Pretty comfortable as well, although the strap felt a little tight. Hopefully that will improve as they get more and more broken in.

I suffer with arch pain but love the ease of flip flops and now I feel I have found a solution to my problem! The arch support is great and I even wear them around the house to keep my feet from hurting. I do wish that the soles and straps had more cushion both are a little hard on the feet but still a great shoe!

Chaco's Flip -
I have been pretty pleased with Chaco's Flip EcoTrend. You need to break them in a bit, but they do have great arch support. I live in the city and like that they have a sturdy enough bottom sole to help trek around urban areas but don't feel thick and heavy like some strong soled flip flop shoes do. Over all, I'm glad I made the purchase.

These flips are great looking and fit well, but after 8 hrs on my feet I developed a sort of blister where the strap had been rubbing against my foot. I have narrow feet and these were almost too narrow for me. For a flip these have a good arch.

Achy feet -
This shoe fits better and is more supportive than any other flip-flop I've ever encountered. (It's still a flip-flop, however.) It's hard, though, and doesn't provide any shock-absorption.

I bought these for the arch support and was pleased. After wearing them around the house a couple of days I developed small blisters on the top of both feet where the straps rubbed. Had to return them.

Great flips!
After having worn these shoes for several weeks, I really like them. It took longer than I expected to break them in, they are really narrow and the straps chafed at first. Now they are perfect. Can't wait to wear them at the beach.

Great...but gets some getting used to.
This flip is great. It fits snuggly (with barely a flip flop sound) and the straps fit deeper within the foot making it feel like you're wearing something solid (not like $5 flips). The soles are great! Only problem, the straps rubbed against my feet & caused open sores...I hope this will go away once I get used to the flips.

I have heel and arch problems and never thought I would be able to wear flip flops. These flip flops changed all that. They have great arch support. The only problem is the sole of the shoe is bumpy and I am still trying to get used to that - or maybe my feet are just sensitive. I have to say that Zappos is a FANTASTIC company to do business with. I had to return a different style and order new ones and the process was easy and seamless.
