Customer Reviews Chaco Hipthong Two EcoTread™

Wanted to like this..but it is just too wierd. The best way I can describe it is "A thong trying to be a Chaco". Not comfortable, and a weird sensation when you walk.

The arch support is great, but because the sole is heavy, and because these are flip flop style shoes, it feels like you expend more energy holding on to the sole when walking. I have other Chacos that don't have the toe post and they are more comfy. Still a good shoe, just not my favorite.

Very disappointed to order these and find that Chaco changed the design on the "adjustable" webbing on these -- I have an older pair and the cross webbing adjusts through the footbed (kind of Chaco's claim to fame) for a custom fit. This pair has a slightly stretchy cross webbing and only the outside webbing adjusts. Boo, Chaco. If it ain't broke...

Huge disappointment. I love the sole. I have plantar fasciitis and a bone spur and the shoes feel great. However, the strap configuration is so strange. I bought an8, my regular size, and they felt way too small. My heel was at the very end. I ordered a 9 and they looked and felt great until I started walking and my heel ended up practically hanging over the heel again, leaving a huge space at my toes. Some other reviewer said how they pushed her feet back and they did the same to me. Its a shame, b/c I love the idea of a very secure flip flop. They aren't so easy to just slip on, but I love the backless idea. Both pairs are being returned.

I agree completely with Cindy's review. My favorite "go to" pair of shoes for summer were always the Hipthong Ecotread, but after wearing those out from using them constantly, I ordered a new pair. Not the same. Not as comfortable due to the different stretchy cording used for the crisscross section. The actual stretchy cording might have been okay (although it hugs the foot more and is less adjustable), except the adjustment plastic buckles are too far up on the top of the foot - not comfortable. In addition to that change, the sizing seems to have changed slightly. Either the foot bed is slightly smaller, or the tighter fit of the cording makes the foot sit farther back on the shoe. It makes the shoe seem about a half size smaller. Really sad that they changed a good thing. Not sure I can keep these even though I had a love affair with this shoe prior to the new design. Bummer!

The strap that doesn't have the clasp thingy was not adjustable and way too tight. It was cutting into the top my foot. Couldn't wear them.

I have the original version of this sandal & I love it. However the straps that allow you to adjust the sandal are elastic on this version & no matter how often I readjust them the sandal slips off my feet while walking. I am so disappointed. I regret not returning them because I never wear them.

I so wanted to like these. but they were wrong in several ways. I ordered the 10 and the 11. Both shoes found my foot sliding back off the heel....even with the straps super tight. And there was a lot of extra length at the toe end. Also, the shoe was cut out in such a shape (the left worse than the right) that it was going in a different direction than my foot. it was curved way in, while my foot was pretty straight. strange. I do have foot issues, but my feet do not point in the wrong direction. Just tried chaco shoe, which I love (gallant), so wanted a sandal. can't do the straps across the big toe joint (arthritis), so I love a thong. and this is the only thong they make. So, no chaco sandals for me, I guess.
