Customer Reviews Chaco Barbary

These are adorable - I loved them. I am limited in what I can wear due to hallux ridgidus in both big toes, so a "rocker" style sole is a must for me. Chacos have that, and I have other pairs that I love. Unfortunately these run very narrow and pushed painfully on my mid-foot, so will have to go back.

I liked these high top ankle boots and really wanted them to be comfortable. Toe box is roomy enough for problem toes and the boots provide good support. I though they were good to prevent my over-pronation, and shoes with this feature are hard to find. Unfortunately, the tongue of the lace up boot is to thick and wide. It cut into my ankle bone and cause pain after wearing them for a couple of hours. I tried loosening the laces, but that didn't really help ……………… so I have to return them.

Although I know these are very well made, the area of stitching just below the laces on the upper part of the shoe pressed hard into my foot. I could feel the hard bump against my foot, which was very uncomfortable, actually, painful. Perhaps this would eventually stretch out or soften a bit with use, but I am not willing to hurt till this may eventually happen. I really wanted to love these shoes, but sent them back after trying them on. I usually wear 8.5 comfortably, but these were very snug around the upper part of my foot... just odd.

Love this shoe however where the seams come together on the sides you can feel a small knot on the side of foot making it sore. Tried to make it work because I love the shoes but had to return. I ordered another pair in hopes the next pair will not have this problem.

Returned. Super cute shoe, really wanted to keep this one too, but interior seams rubbed on left foot, didn't have the time before trip, to try another pair.. Bummed.

I need to return these cute little boots. I wore them for the first time to the grocery store. I'm legally blind, so I walk everywhere. I was excited bc the arches were supported, the style of the boots are cute and bc I live in So. Lake Tahoe the support on Tye bottom for walking on the snow was and added plus. However, my first trek in these boots, the pain in my feet!! Oh my gosh! It made me so sad... The pressed and punched on both feet on the top outside and by Tye time I got home from the store, I couldn't get them off my feet fast enough, as my feet were in so much pain. I hope these boots work for other people, they just did not for me and I'm very sad about it.

Put them on out of the box and walked 5 miles in the sand...Really Love them. The rt. Boot is a tad snug in the width with thick wool socks. Just mentioning for accuracy in description. Kept me dry...

I loved these right out of the box. Enough toe room to wear a heavy sock. Comfort is superb as is arch support for high arches. I worked an 8 hour shift on concrete with no issues. The shaft height is perfect! First pair in this brand did not disappoint

These boots are super comfortable. The arch support is great. They keep my feet warm and dry and look great while doing so.

I have had orthopedic surgeries in both feet/ankles. Chavo is the only shoe I can wear with my feet not hurting. So glad they are making more than sandals! Love these boots! My feet tend a little on the narrow side so they are a tad wide, but not too much so.

I love how these shoes feel on my feet. I got them after surgery on my foot, and they have been my go-to stylish comfy shoes for walking around town.

Bought to work outside and are very good for this due to the comfort and waterproofing.

I ordered these in Mahogany and the Chaco Cataluna explorer and it was instant which one I was keeping. These shoes were super comfy from the start and I think they are adorable with the fold over. I also love the color of the laces which adds a bit more of a modern flair. I have worn these in morning hikes and around town in the rain and my feet are very dry! I’m tempted to buy another just in case they discontinue! I ordered the same size I am in Chaco sandals.

I LOVE these shoes. As a teacher, I'm on my feet all day, and I'm always looking for something warm, waterproof, and with good support. These are wonderful. I'm going to order a second pair in another color. I haven't worn anything else since these arrived.

These shoes have an aggressive arch support. It took me some getting used to, but they have become my go-to shoes for the fall and winter.

I bought these for non-slip and stylish snow boots. They are perfect for this purpose. They are warm, cute, and allow me to tramp around in the snow with my dogs without fear of falling!!

I am in love with these! I have Rheumatoid Disease and have a multitude of problems with my feet. These are very comfortable on both of my feet. I can wear plain socks or thick socks because of how the laces are designed. They are not heavy but feel sturdy. The leather is soft and flexable. I have worn them to work (office on dress down days) and on days off all day doing various tasks. I have a pair in Mahogany and Black Iron. I kind of want the Castlerock color too!

I love these shoes! I ordered them because I was tired of my feet being cold, and they certainly solved that problem. I first ordered them in a size 10, but I had to size down to a 9.5. I think it might be because the toebox is super roomy. They have excellent arch support, and I can wear them all day without really thinking about it. I’m seriously considering ordering them in another color. Highly recommend.

I live in MN and I miss wearing my Chaco sandals during the winter. These boots are amazing! They are lightweight and super comfy, just like my sandals, but with the added benefit of a winter boot. They are not extremely warm, but if you wear a good wool sock, they do a great job of keeping your feet toasty warm without overheating. I wore them on a walk on our frozen lake. If I wasn’t moving, my feet were a little chilled, but once I was moving again, the chill went away. They are water resistant, but I do recommend spraying them for added insurance. I definitely recommend these boots, especially if you are a Chaco is enthusiast!

I absolutely love these boots! They fit perfectly. I am a 9.5/10 and I got the 10. I have one foot that has a high arch and the other has no arch; so the moderate arch is helpful for both feet. I put them on and wore them for a full day after I got them with no pain or uncomfortably, that sometimes comes when you need to break in new shoes. These boots are also light weight and made well. I sold shoes for 13 years so quality is super important to me.

I love these boots! They are really comfortable and I think they are super cute. I got the mahogany color and they look great with jeans. I have a narrow heel, wide toe box and super high arch and these are great for me. I feel like my toes have more than enough room, I am able to tie them as tight as I need and even though the insole is removable, I haven't had to put in my own orthotics. The ones the boots came with are cushy enough and the arch support has been great. I haven't worn them in snow or rain yet, but I did wear them in 20 degree weather and my feet felt nice and warm.

These shoes are very comfortable. I am very happy with them.

These boots have excellent arch support and cushioned heel. Most size 11’s fit me a little small but these are perfect. Plenty of room for my smart wool socks even though the boot is warm enough to not need them. I wore them straight out of the box and they felt so comfortable! I’m ready to order another in the castle rock but they are sold out.

I normally wear a 7.5 and originally bought a 7.5 but had to return and for a size 7. They now fit perfect and are great hiking shoes. Also do really well in the rain/ snow. I’m very happy with my purchase!

I have been hunting for shoes to wear on my morning commute in the rain. I wore these for the first time today - they kept my feet dry and I already got a compliment. I am so happy with them. I usually wear an 8.5 / 9. These are a tiny bit snug with thick socks, and absolutely perfect with normal socks. They feel a lot like chaco sandals - sturdy, with great support.
