Customer Reviews Chaco Kids ZX/1® Ecotread (Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid)

Chaco's are just plain awesome and these are no exception. Great quality and they are super cute. My daughter loves them.

I love my Chacos and wear them most days. They aren't supposed to be super fitting! You have to arrange the straps so they fit best for your feet! I didn't want one star on this product to stop anyone from buying a pair!

The sandal is attractive. I love the colors. I have a high arch and these sandals do have an arch, however it's not enough for my feet.

The joys of having small feet!

We have always had great luck with Chaco's and our kids growing feet. Sadly, we had to return these as the width was too narrow.

My foot is average width and these shoes were wide with loose straps. The straps across the toes and over the foot were too loose, and they are not adjustable.

I was really hopeful that these would work for me but the arch was just a bit too much. I am a size 7 1/2 women’s and I ordered these in a 5, which is just a half size too small for me so if they had worked I would’ve just exchange them for a six. However, like I said, they just had too much arch support. I was really hoping because they were a child’s shoe that maybe the arch support wouldn’t be as pronounced. For those who had trouble tightening the straps, they absolutely DO tighten, but it is a little confusing. I do think this style is extremely cute and if you can fit into the child shoe they are cheaper than the adult shoes.

According to the Zappos sizing chart, my daughter is a Big Kids' Size 7. Seeing that these run large, I ordered her a Big Kids' Size 5. Still much too big, so back they go. (But I have worn Chacos for years myself, so I know them to be super-comfortable and sturdy).

They are a little bit too hard for my toddler to get on and off by herself and a little too much strap dangling after she got them on. (maybe next year)

Sandals are a little big but purposefully bought on the larger side. Able to adjust the straps some to get to fit tighter.

My granddaughter wanted these shoes. She loves them! The only thing that kept me from rating it 5 stars instead of 4 stars is that until we discovered a card in the shipping box telling us how to adjust the Chacos, it was difficult to figure out. Now that she has a pair, she will know in the future. She is VERY HAPPY!

Great sandal however way too big. Will have to wait awhile for this to fit. Bought for daughter according to other sandal sizes she wears..maybe in 2 more years these will fit

My daughter could barely get these on straps were so tight. We haven't ordered wide shoes for her before. Very cute though!!

Bought these for my 11 year old daughter. She has flat feet and complains about most shoes making her feet hurt. After having these for 2 weeks including a trip to SeaWorld where we walked 5 miles in 1 day she has yet to complain about foot pain. They are a little hard to slip on and get the straps ajusted but overall she likes them.

The colors on these are fabulous. The high arch support isn't too much for my flat feet. They are comfortsble for wearing all day. Your heels hang off the back a bit, but it seems to be how they are designed. When I have them tightened up, the strap is too long and drags so I have to tuck it in. But like I said, I have super flat feet plus small ankles. I typically wear a women's 6 and these fit great for half the cost.

My little girl loves these! I did have to buy a smaller size than expected. My daughter's foot is pretty slim so we ended up taking the shoes to a cobbler and having him rip the heel strap out and re-stitch it a bit tighter. Great shoe, might need some work to really fit little kids' tiny feet!

I bought the Chaco Kids Ecotread because I needed a good pair of hiking/walking shoes for the summer time that would stand a chance in rain/wet weather as well as keep my foot and toes mostly open to air out in the heat. The kids shoes are cheaper and it just so happened that my feet had fit the largest kid size (6), and I normally wear W8-W8.5. The color is great and pops out well with my green rain jacket. So far, they are comfortable to walk in. I am still breaking into the straps. Sometimes the straps dig into my skin and leave a temporary mark, but it is not a big deal, just takes some adjustment. I used these to hike up a stone mountain and my favorite feature is the squishy and flexible, but durable memory foam foot bed and the bright orange color pick of the straps. If all goes well, I will probably invest in an adult version with a toe strap.

The soles were the correct size, but the strings on top were too loose towards the toe and non-adjustable. They were also uneven between the 2 shoes, as if one was defective

Ordered these Chaco Kids sandals for me, as kids sandals tend to be more narrow than Chaco adult women sandals—generally. For me, Chaco sandal widths depend more on the style (or style + color combination). I have medium-to-narrow women’s size 7 feet, nothing special. At the Chaco sandals’ price point (women & kids), Chaco needs to fix the inconsistencies in their sizing! This is why I gave 3 stars overall.

So disappointed! As other reviewers have mentioned, the toe straps are so wide as to make the shoes unwearable. My daughter wore these shoes in a smaller size and those were a great success, but these simply will not work. Forced to return and find a different shoe, alas..

These run very big and their was no way to tighten the straps.

My daughter tried two sizes of these and they just don't fit. The top strap was too loose on the larger size, and the heel strap could not be tightened enough on the smaller size. Very peculiar. Too bad because otherwise she liked them.

Very cute sandals, my daughter got a lot of compliments while wearing them. The only concern I had in which made me return the shoes was that after wearing them for a few hours straight they started hurting her feet.

We give up. :( After purchasing two pairs of these shoes 3X for our daughters (one with a slightly narrow foot and the other with an average foot), we are again sending both pairs back again. The shoes are way too wide for their feet. We started with their "normal" size and then subtracted one size each try until their feet were hanging over the ends of the shoes- but the width was still too wide. It's too bad that this brand/style does not make a way to adjust the width because the shoes are otherwise super cute.

Great colors, comfortable foot bed, great arch support! It looks like a soundly made and durable sandal. I'm an adult female with very small feet. The problem is the foot bed extended a full inch from the tips of my toes. My heel was in the right place, the arch was in the right place, and the straps fit comfortably over my foot and toes, but the tip of the shoe was waaay too long. Could cause tripping.
