Customer Reviews Chaco Flip EcoTread™

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.

My first pair of Chacos and I really like them and recommend them. Flip flops are my favorite thing to wear and these are just up my alley. I have no arches so the arch support has been great.

I've had terrible plantar fasciitis for the past year. I finally ended up getting a cortisone shot to relieve the inflammation, but my podiatrist warned that I needed shoes with better support. He recommended several sandal brands since I commute to work on foot and find it oppressive to walk in close-toed shoes during the summer. After comparing several brands I opted for the Chaco Flip EcoTread, and I have no regrets. This sandal is durable and offers great arch support. I do wish the style was a little more attractive, but that's really my only complaint. I usually wear a size 8.5 and ordered an 8, as per other reviews. The strap on my right foot was a little snug at first, and cut into my skin. But it has loosened up and the 8 fits great.

Love the feel and fit of this sandal! It gives great support unlike most flip flops. I usually wear an 8.5, but ordered the 8 since they don't do half sizes, and they fit just perfect. I have a fairly narrow foot, but I could see that you would have problems with this sandal if you have wider feet.

This shoe is very supportive to the arch, however, when walking it feels loose like they might slip off. I wear a size 12 and a medium wide foot. The heaviness of the foot bed requires a tighter grip on the upper fabric. They are ok to wear around the house, but not very useful for long distance or fast paced walking.

Love these. I have a traditional pair of chacos with buckle and straps and these feel similar on my feet just in flip flop form. The straps were not loose on me like some of the other reviews state. Great quality.

I love these flip flops and have had mine for about seven years. I ordered these to replace my old ones and just like the other reviewers said, the straps are super loose. I ended up keeping them because I love and need the arch support. I’m hoping I won’t be disappointed and will used them.

Good flip flip. Can get wet and does not get soggy! Nice arch support.

I sometimes need wide width shoes, but only for certain brands, and this is clearly one brand. They were signficantly narrower than other flips I have owned. So good for folks with narrow feet, but if your feet are not narrow, move up to the wide width if it's in stock.

I loved the color and the quality. However, the straps are 1/2" longer than my current Chaco flip flops that I have had for many years. I can't keep them on my feet when I walk so they have to go back. So disappointed.
