Customer Reviews Chaco Flip EcoTread™

I am well pleased with these flip flops. It was important for them to have an arch and a substantial sole and Chaco delivers on both plus the color and pattern of the straps are vivid and stylish. My adult daughter who wears a narrow width in the same size as me (I wear a medium) admired them so I gave them to her and reordered the same pair for myself. My husband also now wears a Chaco flip. The three of us are all impressed with the structure and comfort of these summertime shoes.

Love these! I am wearing them now and have them in a different color as well. The reason I like this shoe so much is the arch support. I have high arches and most flip flops do not provide enough support and my feet become unhappy. These I can wear all day! I like all the color options too. Wish there was something a little "dressier" but others I have tried don't fit as well.

This sandal fit perfect. EcoTread carnival style. I am a small person, but the EcoTread Blossom style was too big. I read another review that said the new styles had changed. She must have been right as the Carnival style was on sale so must have been the old style. The new ones the strap between your toes is bigger.

I normally wear a 7, but order an 8. I have a slightly wider foot that fits most medium shoes, but have found that the Chaco 7 barely fits. But I love these flip-flops! I can take long walks (4 miles) without problems, because the sandal stays on your foot, supports your arch, and cushions well. One of the last 2 pairs I have owned has lasted for over 4 years, and has traveled to the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Europe. Can you tell I like them, a lot?

I am very happy with these. They are much sturdier and arch supportive than Havaianas (which I love but will now use for dress up or short walks only). I can wear these all day and my feet are happy. They are stylish like Reefs, too. They are a good buy.

This is a great flip flop! I have very high arches and a lot of ankle trouble and this sandal is comfortable and have worn them while walking long distances good arch support compared to other flip flops.

Love these shoes! I have very flat feet so I don't get to wear flip-flops very often. I can wear these for quite a long period of time! The arch support is great! The only thing I would wish for is a little tighter fit as I have a narrow foot. However, these are better than any others I have tried that are not adjustable. The person who recommended these to my suggested this style over the leather because her leather Chaco's stretched a bit and she was afraid they would be too big across my foot if that happened. I will definitely purchase more Chacos! They are worth the money to me!!

Chaco is kind enough to give Peace Corps volunteers a super fantastic so five years ago during my Peace Corps service I ordered these. I wore them biking, hiking, harvesting peanuts, bathing, walking for miles and loved them every minute. They got covered in mud on a regular basis and scrubbed up clean and looking great every time. Toward the end of their lifetime (five years for me) the strap started to stretch out making them not as comfortable to walk in, but judging the number of days I wore them I would say they were more than worth the cost. Ordering my second pair today - hoping to get another solid five years out of the new ones.

These flip-flops are my indoor shoes. They are so incredibly comfortable that I am buying a second pair.

I love flips! I wear these daily around the house year round and everywhere outdoors in warm weather. The arch support is fantastic. Read the fit guide for sizing. The most important aspect of the fit is if the arch is in the proper position. I have had a pair of flips that I've been wearing for two years, very happily. I recently purchased another pair for when mine eventually wear out. The straps were a bit tight on my original pair. They are a bit loose on my new pair. I prefer the tighter straps (they make less of a 'flip flop' noise). I have medium to slightly narrow feet so the new strap set up is probably perfect for a medium width foot.

I wear this Chaco every day. When I try to wear something else, my feet are screaming for the Chaco. It's all in the arch support. I have plantar fasciitis and really high arches and this is the shoe for me.

Just got these flips after hearing about them from a family member, they are fantastic! I have high arches and other flips I have tried do nothing to address that - these are wonderful.

These are super comfy and the arch support is just right. I can wear them all day and my feet feel great!

Love, Love, Love my Chaco Flips! Thank you Chaco for coming out with a wide in the flip flop. I don't necessarily have a wide foot but have a high arch and high instep and in some shoes a wide accommodates my foot perfectly. Every since my Zappos package arrived I've been wearing these shoes. The arch support my foot well and they look cute too!

Great shoes! Very comfortable for walking...even walking all day. I wear an 8 or 8.5, and I had to order a size 9.

These are the best flip-flops! No one should ever wear flat flip-flops! It's horrible for you! And these are worth every penny! Trust me! I am a meticulous shopper & spending this much on a Flip-flop shoe made my breakfast come up...but I bought them to try them out & they're amazing! I have worn them for the past 4 years! On all vacations, in the ocean, in the rain, daily (I live in FL currently), in Europe while traveling, Thailand. I am a firm believer in quality over quantity. So you can buy 50 pairs of horrific shoes from the sale bin at Target, Old Navy or wherever horrible feeling flip-flops are sold, or you can buy this one amazing pair. And they guarantee the bottom! If it wears out, they repair it or replace it! Save your feet & buy these flip-flops! You're going to need your feet for a long time & they're they're the foundation for your entire body & posture! You wouldn't put a beautiful home on a crappy foundation, why put crappy shoes under your beautiful body?! And no, I do not own stock nor am I affiliated with Chaco's. I just appreciate quality & want good stuff to stay around so I can continue to purchase it in the future.

A huge fan: Chacos give great arch support and are one of the few flip flops I can wear. The color of these "Campfire" sandals was more muted than the picture led me to believe. All computers probably create a different color spectrum; when these arrived they were a more rust color than red. Very handsome, just not what I was expecting.

This is my second pair of Flips, and fourth pair of Chacos overall. They are perfect, as always - comfortable, durable, great support (especially for a sandal). I can walk around in them all day and my feet won't hurt. Other people can have those cheap flip-flops that wear out in a weekend - these practically last forever! The only reason I got a new pair is that I wanted a different color. My other pairs (including one that I've had for 6 years) are all still in great shape. One note: the sole on these feel the same as the ones that Chaco uses for their "sportier" styles (though they are not Vibram soles). Some of the more girly/fancy styles have a different sole and thus fit differently. I haven't liked the fit of some of the others I have tried on, including the Flip X, the Flippa, and the Locavore. If you don't find one that fits right away, keep trying - there's a pair made for you!

This is my third pair of EcoTreads and I love them! Living in Hawaii slippahs are about all we wear and these are the best! On top of that, I work on my feet all day and these give much better support than any local kine flip around. You cannot go wrong! I am a size 9½ and the size 10 is a perfect fit, so order up. My only request would be to have more color choices so I can buy more!

I love these shoes! I have always had problems with Plantar fasciitis in both of my feet, which means a lot of pain after walking with unsupportive shoes. The pain got worse when I got pregnant. I wore these shoes to a festival with a lot of walking involved and my feet felt wonderful! I love shopping on Zappos! You guys are so friendly and I feel like I'm one of your friends instead of just another customer. I love that! Thanks!

Awesome flips! Always comfortable with a comfortable footbed. I love Chacos and I love Zappos.com!

My new favorite slip-flop. Perfect fit, comfort, style. Understated and sleek. Unexpectedly good arch support for a sandal.

These are great flip-flops.The soft, Reef flip-flops used to make my feet ache. Eventually, I developed plantar fasciitis and had to stop wearing them. I tried several other brands and it resulted in the same thing. I then read that the Eco-tread design was approved by podiatrists, so gave these a try. I was concerned in the beginning. I did not consider them comfortable for several days. In retrospect, I believe my feet had to break into the flip-flops (not the other way around). They are now the most comfortable pair of flip-flips that I have ever owned. I can walk in them for extended periods and they have become my first selection of footwear, unless the occasion demands something else. I have recently purchased these for my wife. She did not have foot issues, but her last pair of Reefs wore out. Like me, she was not impressed, initially. After a week, she is in love with them.

Love these shoes! I generally don't wear this style of flip flop -- hurts between my toes. But the ribbon here is very soft. The soles are great for my foot problems, too (numb heel). Got them in black as well.
