Customer Reviews Chaco Flip EcoTread™

I'm very impressed with these flip flops. I have had a joint replaced in my foot and need shoes with a good deal of support and firmness. These, amazingly enough, fit the bill. They don't flop around on my foot and the arch support is comparable to a nice pair of Merrell shoes. I wear an 8 1/2 in Merrells and the 8 fit perfectly in these. I still won't be going for long walks in flip flops but these certainly keep my feet happy for short jaunts. I can't say I ever thought a flip flop would do that. They are super cute, too. Worth the money.

Purchased this and the Vionic Bella at the same time. I have normal width flat feet. These provide great support and are very casual. The sole material is definitely harder than the Vionic, but it is still comfortable and supportive.

This is my 2nd pair of Chaco EcoTread as my previous pair wore out after several years of daily use. I love this brand and even though I have a wide foot, the medium width works fine. The arch support is not as pronounced as in my older pair but still works for supporting my feet. The service at Zappos is wonderful and I appreciate the speed of delivery. I couldn't be happier!

I've owned Chaco sandals in a similar style for 15 years and love them. I decided to get a different color, and expected the quality of 15 years ago...and was pleasantly surprised. Are they the same? No. Are they close? Yes. Looking forward to many more years of Chacos! Big thanks to Zappos for excellent service - no surprise there!

My daughter introduced me to this brand, and since then I have worn nothing else during warm weather. I have a very high arch in my foot and if I wear any other type of flip my feet ache. I have worn these to walk all day in NYC and no foot fatigue. I only wish they would come out with more solid colors instead of the geometric patterns.

I love being able to wear flip flops, even with my terrible falling arches and wide feet. The thong part of the strap takes some breaking in (or rather, your feet do!), but it's a great shoe. I just wish they made the wide width in more colors!

I love these flip flops so much that these are my 4th pair! They are the most comfortable, supportive sandals - you can walk for miles in them and your feet, legs & back will feel great. I wear these every day - they are well worth the money.

My wife will only wear Chaco brand sandals. Your customer service and return policy is outstanding. 5 stars! Thanks!

The best flip flop I have ever worn. Comfortable out of the box. This is my second pair. Old ones 2 or 3 Years old and still fine. Bought new ones for a new color I liked. I have a very high arch and these fit perfect. Highly recommend.

I love the arch support of this shoe. It's not as structured, thick or 'hard' feeling as the other Chaco models, but the arch is great. It does feel like it would last very well! Alas, the straps are too tight on the medium width flip flop, and too loose on the wide width flip flop. My foot is only slightly wide...

I love flip flops and buy at least one new pair every year. Chacos are great for walking and wear forever. Bought this for color.

Excellent quality and comfy. I have very narrow feet and the fit is better than I expected, although they are a bit too wide. Better fit than others I have tried.

I love these flip flops. This is my second pair. My first pair I essentially wore out. I still wear them around the house but they are frayed and the tread pattern on the sole is mostly gone. They have an arch, which isn't something regular flip flops have and I can wear them all day without any issues. In the summer I walk in them during my lunch break. I highly recommend them my first pair lasted 3 years, and like I said I still wear those just not outside.

These are my favorite flip flops. This is the 2nd pair I've purchased. The first pair lasted more than 2 years. They have great support and traction.

I have plantar fasciitis, these flips have been a godsend. My arches are very high and tend to collapse when I walk, and my calves are very tight as are my legs generally. I found these are the best shoes for my very high arches and wide feet - even Birkenstocks run too narrow for my feet. I went to a massage therapist for a couple of sessions to address the tight legs - it hurts, it was no fun, but I feel much better. Wearing these flips in the house and Chacos pretty much everywhere, plus the massage, improved the plantar fasciitis a lot.

I have not worn flip flops for many, many years. I bought these to see how they would work and they were fantastic. I have a lot of foot pain and have a hard time finding shoes that are comfortable. I cannot take these off! I don't know what I will do when it gets cold. You won't go wrong with these!

I love these sandals. I had my first pair for three years and can wear them walking around all day and have even worn them running when I got an opportunity and didn't have running shoes. They feel so good and never give me blisters and the arch support is awesome! I just got this pair to have on hand if the first pair ever wears out. I ordered several pairs to compare from Zappos of the Chaco brand. The Vibe and Eco-tread look and feel the same from the top. The tread underneath is slightly different but feel the same to walk in. So between those two, just pick your fav color. I also ordered some leather (Jacy I think) they weren't as comfortable to me personally and my sis said she felt the same about her leather ones. I also tried the reversi flip ones and felt they were longer and looked weird on my foot and seems like weren't quite as cozy but I can't remember that for sure. My first and second pair both ended up being Eco-tread and I love them! I wear an 8.5 or 9 in most shoes. These work great for me in size 9.

These flip flops fit true to size but I do find they are a little snug/tight. I have wide-ish feet and I am hoping they stretch over time. If Chaco's sold half sizes I might have gone up a size just for the width.

After wearing my last pair of EcoTreads for the past 5 years, I finally decided that maybe it was time for a new pair. I love my new EcoTreads! Chaco is the only flip flop I will ever buy. So incredibly comfortable, I wear these year round. You won't be sorry with these!

Read the reviews on these flip flops and did hesitate because of price but am sooooo glad I purchased them. I will never wear other flip flops again. The arch support in these is purrrfect. Definitely worth the investment.

I love these! They fit like a glove and are very comfortable. This is my 2nd pair. I bought these in red 5 years ago and they are still in great shape even after much abuse and many times being thrown in the washing machine. The straps are tight at first but stretched out after a few days of walking around Paris for 9 or 10 hours. A great sandal for walking and mild hiking. I normally wear a size 9.5/10 but found that the 9 works best for me in this brand.

I love these Chacos. They provide the best arch support in attractive waterproof flip-flops that I have found. I am still wearing my first pair of Chacos after 10 years! They are great products.

If I could only own one pair of shoes, these would be the choice. Just bought my second pair: the first have taken me many, many miles and are still going strong. I'm calling these new ones my 'dress flip-flops.' I can wear these on the treadmill or elliptical at the gym--the support is that good.

The Flip Vibe has changed for the better since I last tried them a couple years ago. The choice of width has returned!! And the straps have become softer again! These are ALMOST as good as the Chacos I used to live in daily, except that the Vibram sole, which has been coming and going, is currently gone. Vibram is so durable, and non-skid even on wet tile. But most important, the two Vibes I just purchased don't slide around on my rather narrow feet, and the soft ribbon does not chafe. Great improvements since that rocky transition in owners a couple years back.

I love, love, love my Chaco's! Bought a pair about 8 years ago to wear on the boat and on the beach. Still have them, and they are still in GREAT shape! Would highly recommend for fit, comfort and durability!
