Customer Reviews Chaco Dorra

I have lived in these sandals since they arrived 3 weeks ago! Solid comfort. I may try to have them tightened up a bit if they stretch, but the looseness hasn't held me back from choosing them daily!

So far I love these sandals. They're extremely comfortable and very cute. I got the Mecca color and it's not as reddish as it looks on the site, so I'm not really sure why they've got this and the other brown color, but I really like the Mecca. They are very low profile. I actually wish the sole were a tiny bit thicker, but it's no big deal. Moderate arch support; not as good as regular Chacos. After watching the video, I was worried that they would be loose in the back, but they really fit perfectly. I'm normally a solid size 6.5, but the 6 fits great, so if you're between sizes, I suggest going down.

I love these shoes and would wear them every day if I could. Very comfortable, very light - great walking shoes but also very cute. I am planning to take these with me on vacation to Europe next week. These do seem to run about a half size large, so I would order a half size down.

Chacos have the best arch support of any shoes I've tried. These are very comfortable and stable. The leather in these sandals make them suitable for work rather than the synthetic straps of other varieties. Love these sandals.

These are the best shoes I have ever owned. I use them for heavy walking and can match them with anything between a sundress and jeans. They are always comfortable and never give me any blisters or issues. I highly recommend them to everyone for almost any reason. Also I am a solid 6.5 but the 6s fit me very well. Since these aren't in half sizes: If you're in between and that's because your feet are wide then consider going down. If that's because your feet are long consider going up.

Great sandal. Super cute and comfy. Get lots of compliments. Dresses up a more casual outfit. Might consider leather product for it. The area around the toe seems to wear quickly. And of course great service from Zappos on fast delivery!

I am so pleasantly surprised by these sandals. I first tried the Chaco Sofias after reading all positive reviews, but was disappointed in how they fit my foot (aesthetically weird) and the ankle strap chafed. So I went to a retail store and tried on the Dorras and had a "this is exactly what I've been looking for!" moment. I own three pairs of Chaco Unaweeps (without the toe strap) and have been wearing them exclusively since the weather turned warm, but I wanted something a little nicer. I have five little kids, so the Unaweeps are ideal for my lifestyle and I even like them with skirts and dresses, but it's nice to have a leather sandal for church, dates with hubby, etc. I'm a loyal Birkenstock wearer, and have owned their "Gizeh" for the past two years. I like their shoes, but the soles are not good for wet surfaces. Anyway, these shoes are just great. I would definitely suggest trying on two different sizes if you're in between. I'm a 7.5-8 in most shoes, but wear a 7 regular in my Unaweeps (I think they run a little big), but in the Dorras the 8's fit best. The 7 fit well in length (the 8 was barely longer) but was tighter across the top strap, while the 8's are perfect. The salesman said they'll naturally stretch some, but the adjustable strap will help with any looseness. So glad I found them - I hope Chaco keeps making them for years to come! Oh, and the Mecca color is such a great neutral; the contrast stitching is so subtle. Looks great with black or brown stuff.

I love the look of these shoes. I bought them because I wanted some cute summer sandals with support. My problem with these sandals is the font diagonal strap coming across the metatarsophalangeal joint is tight and cause severe pain the first two times wearing them. In conclusion: sufficient support of longitudinal arch, if you have a bunion or metatarsal pain, this is not the shoe for you.

Yup, these are my new summer sandals! My first pair of Chacco's and I think they are going to live up to the hype. I love the leather footbed! The slim profile makes the shoe very versatile. Sole has very good traction without being bulky. And my toes can breathe because they're not strapped in. Love! I thought the toe loop might bother me, but it is not bothersome. I got the Mecca color which has orange accent stitching. The orange is not too bold, but instead adds another element of fun (think yellow/orange top-stitching on jeans). The price is great for what you get in these shoes.

This is my first pair of Chaco's but I know I will be going out and buying up another pair ASAP! They are great, and I cannot imagine wearing anything else. I just bought black and will now need another color. Excellent support and comfortable out of the box - great purchase, so happy!

Incredibly comfortable! I purchased these sandals after doing a 4.5 hours walking tour of Disneyland. A gal in our group had an older pair (4 years old) and seemed to not be tired after all of her walking. I asked what she was wearing and she said, "Chaco." She continued to tell me that she had owned them for 4 years and they were still comfortable and perfect! Her's were exactly the same as these except they were double-banded. Because I could not find the exact ones as hers, I purchased these! So comfortable! I purchased them so that my flat feet have arch support and big toe support while walking Disneyland this summer using my Annual Pass. I also have a bunion on my right foot that I was worried about, but these sandals make that bunion non-existent. I have been trying and returning numerous sandals from Zappos for weeks now, and I have finally found my match! Very true to size too! I adore!

I've worn Chacos for years and was so excited to find a "dressier" version! The leather sandals have all the comfort of traditional Chacos, and are nice enough to wear to work or out and about.

I’m happy with these, they were comfortable after I got use to them. I have a high instep so I felt like the strap across the top of my foot could’ve been a little roomier, but if I adjust it all the way loose, it fits. The actual sole of the shoe seems long compared to where the straps fit, meaning I have quite a bit extra room beyond my toes and heel, but if I’d gotten a smaller size, the strap distances wouldn’t have fallen correctly. Overall, they are very nice quality and comfortable and I can see them lasting many summers to come.

I was so excited to receive these. But was disappointed when they didn't work out. The straps across the toes/upper were just TOO tight. I'm a universal size 10 ; medium width and it was painful across the upper. Such a bummer.

The shoe is stylish. I didn't like how the toe holder rubbed a little between my toes. The sole felt a little flat. Unlike the nylon strap sandals, you can't adjust these except at the ankle.

Cute shoes. Teal is nice color -- not too bright. Straps keep sandals firmly on feet and, for me, plenty of support. Not sure if it is the shoe or my feet, but right sandal fit great and left was tight on the one strap. Sadly, returning. Would try with another pair, but Zappos is out of teal.

Chaco makes a great shoe w supportive arch. The brown leather is not quite as dark as the picture presents. All in all, they are very comfortable and have become my go to summer sandals. Quite comfortable. Great for walking. I like the toe loop. True to size. I usually wear about 7.5 and the CHACO 7 always works for me. I have 3 pairs of CHACOs never disappointed.

These shoes are very cute on. I have had many pairs of Chaco traditional sandals but this is the first time I have tried the fancier style! I think they are very comfortable, I have foot trouble and cannot wear many kinds of sandals. These have a nice foot bed and medium arch support. Unfortunately they don't come in half sizes so I had to order a half size too big but they fit well enough to be comfortable.

I choose these shoes for their arch support and for their style, both of which I have no complaints after having worn them out and about. However, I initially ordered a size 9, but had to exchange them for a size 8 because the 9 was very long. The shoe continued quite a bit past my heel. The 8 works well but an 8.5 would probably have been perfect.

I have a low volume foot, & this is the first Chaco sandal that I can wear. The adjustable straps keep the sandal snugly on my foot. The toe loop is stiff but softened up after a few wears. I walked for about 4 hours in them, & they were fairly comfortable as I was still breaking them in. They look very stylish - can be dressed down or up.

I love the style of this sandal and it is very comfortable. I'm returning this Earth color because it looks faded. I'm ordering the black pair.

This is the first pair of chacos I've ever had. Everyone I know loves them and say they last forever. I ordered 4 pairs from wonderful zappos to compare and ultimately chose to keep these. These were comfy right out of the box! I appreciate the leather footbed and leather straps. I appreciate that everything, including the straps are stitched along the edges, which I feel will be much more durable. The toe strap and one cross strap are not adjustable which is fine to be but may be a disappointment to someone expecting a usual Chaco. I have found them easy to slip on and off once the ankle strap is adjusted. I feel secure and stable clambering around. Can't personally speak to durability as yet but feel quite confident based on the construction and reputation, enough so that I am taking these to live out of my backpack in South America for a year.

I went to Zappos, last minute, because I needed something to walk around on a vacation in the city that would support my arch. I recently had a plantar fasciitis flare up. I tried to find something appropriate locally and when I couldn't -- Zappos came through. The shoe straps feel a bit loose at times -- as if they'll fail but they didn't. They don't have an amazing number of hours of wear yet, but after about 10 days of daily wear, four of which involving airport travel and walking touring Baltimore and it's harbor they have lasted. I wish I could say my feet were pain free but nothing makes them pain free right now. I can tell you they supported the arch as well as it can be. I've managed this problem and corrected it before so I know these helped it from getting worse ... Right out of the box they were comfortable to wear. I actually received them the day before I traveled and they never needed to be broken in...they were good for me from the start.

Love the look of the Dorra sandals, and they are comfortable. The arch support is not as hefty as the web sandals but, still felt good even after a long day! I read the reviews before I bought these and I noticed the numerous complaints about the elastic piece holding the buckle in place was giving out. I was thinking by the time I ordered mine in April that the problem had been rectified. I wore my sandals some this summer and then back to school in August. After normal wearing around town (no hiking or trails!) last week I began to notice my right sandal appeared loose and of course, when I examined it I noticed the elastic piece was giving away. I am disappointed that Chaco has used inferior parts on this beautiful sandal and still has not rectified the problem. Thankfully I bought my pair from Zappos which has a wonderful return policy. Chacos needs to wise up and fix the problem before they begin loosing devoted customers.

These shoes lack the solid arch support of the Chaco Flips that I've loved for a decade now. The footbed is engineered with a less pronounced arch in addition to a somewhat slippery leather footbed that my foot slid around in. I should note that I have very bad arches w/ severe overpronation and can normally only wear Dansko, Vionic, and Chaco Flips in sandals. I was hoping Chaco would come through for me on other styles, but no deal. I'm sure these shoes would be fine for those with less needy feet. One other note - the straps were a bit loose on my feet, which are thin but slightly wide.
