Customer Reviews Chaco Dorra

I did a rough break in on these, taking them on a 7000 mile road trip. I really enjoy the look. They look and wear better when oiled. They are more loose around the toe than standard Chacos and took some getting used to. I also feel that where the footbed meets the sole needs some work as it seems to be wearing already. Overall a decent shoe, but not Chacos best.

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Many compliments, not quite as comfortable as my normal Chaco's but pretty close. However, after 3-4 months wear, the elastic attached to the clasp has broken. :( Terribly disappointed, but loved them while they lasted!

I thought this shoe would be more colorful, and that the orange thread would be more prominent. It runs a full size smaller. I normally wear an 8 and I got this in a 7 and it fits well. They are comfy, but nothing to rave about. They are kind of blah. After wearing a few times, the dye on the shoe is beginning to rub off. I'm going to keep them, but I can't recommend them to anyone else!

These sandals are very comfortable, they look nice and I would have given it 5 stars overall if it didn't have the toe strap. The toe strap is uncomfortable and not adjustable. I'm debating whether to return the sandals or cut the toe strap off the sandals and keep them.

Loved them at first, very cute and comfortable right out of the box. But the elastic between the buckle and heel strap started to slowly disintegrate after a few months, although all the other components were in great shape. I finally contacted Chaco to see if it could be fixed. They said the sandals couldn't be fixed and that they would try to replace them, but to chose a couple extra models in case they couldn't. They sent me back some traditional Chacos.

Wanted these to work, but they just didn't hold up. I ordered the Mecca color and within a couple of weeks the color was faded and rubbing off. Insole of one shoe became wrinkled and about to crack, and they never got wet. Other insole was still smooth. Elastic started to fray. Contacted Chaco, who was willing to exchange the shoe for another style, but I already have a pair of the traditional athletic Chacos, so I ultimately returned them to Zappos. Too bad!

I loved the look of this shoe, and around the house it was comfortable. I bought a full size down and that was the right fit. I've bought many other Chacos in the past, though not this style, so I figured I'd be able to wear it walking around all day. I was wrong. I left the house and 20 minutes into my walk I was so uncomfortable, with pain in the ball of my foot. I couldn't make it home until later in the day, so now I'm stuck with a sandal I can't wear. Very frustrated and disappointed with this shoe.

Meh. Not worth the price. I was hoping for the kind of arch support I get from my Z2s, but it's not there. Worse, the little bit of elastic is very stretchy, which means that your foot isn't very secure. After wearing them for two days (walked about two miles total), my foot is sprained. If I hadn't worn them so much, I'd be sending them back. Disappointed.

Beware if you have short toes! The big toe loop is way to far forward for me and the outside strap doesn't hold my pinkie toe in. These also have a really cheap plasticky look to the sole. Lots of sloppy edges and loose threads. I'm just bummed I didn't pick up on those problems until I wore them outside. I figured the straps would settle into more natural places once I'd walked in them a bit, but there's been no improvement.

They were very comfortable at first but aged very quickly. Within three weeks the straps were starting to tear, threads were poking out, and the elastics behind the metal fasteners had broken. I expected these to last several years, not less than a summer, so I am returning them.

I love Chaco shoes, but these are not supportive, and my foot feels 'loose' in the shoe. I like the adjustability of the other Chacos...these are being returned in the second color I bought.

I love Chacos for their comfort and arch support and have few sandals for different sports and casuals. I was hoping for something dressier than their regular straps. I am very disappointed at this design, not being able to adjust the straps to fit my foot. I size 8 but this Chaco Dorra size 8 is way too big, large and long. I am returning them.

I love the look of this shoe but after trying it out around the house, my arch ached for the entire next day!! The arch support felt great on my high arches when I first put them on, but the heel was dipping downward, feeling as if I were walking on my heels! Maybe that's why my feet hurt now?! Such a shame, I wanted to love the feel as much as I love the look!

Update 14 months after purchase: MAJOR DESIGN FLAW! The elastic piece between the buckle and the heel strap has literally disintegrated on both sides. All other components are still in good shape. I only wore them occasionally for the five months of sandal weather we have here in Michigan. I hope that there is some sort of warranty on this. This is very disappointing.

Two weeks after wearing them for two days, I'm still limping. They added a bit of elastic to the strap with the buckle, and as a result the strap made for a sloppy, unstable fit.
