Customer Reviews Chaco Odyssey Sandal

I really like this sandal that I can wear with light socks in cooler weather. Only thing that would make it better is a black sole instead of white. I can feel the arch support and it is in the right place for my foot.

Perfect! I was hesitant about these but I’m so glad I got them. The first time I wore them was on an all day hiking field trip with my son’s class. The only issue I had were the small pebbles getting in the sides of the shoe. It wasn’t horrible but slightly annoying. Other than that, they were extremely comfortable, the traction and grip on different types of ground was good, and they dried quickly when I stepped in water. As with all my other Chacos, I highly recommend!!

Seemed like good shoes but I was looking for some with a really soft sole like FitFlops or Bzees to baby my plantar fasciitis. These soles were too hard.

NEED HALF SIZES. i really love this shoe, it’s cute and well-made. unfortunately, i’m an 8.5 - the 8 pinched my toes, and the 9 was way too large - the footbed was ok, but the back strap had a 1/2 inch gap where it didn’t even touch the back of my ankle. if you are a whole size, i would highly recommend this shoe. i really wish it fit.

This is my first Chacos purchase and the sandals really seem sturdy and high quality. I got the lavender and thought the upper was plastic, but it’s a fabric mesh! I’m a 6.5 in shoes and sized to a 7 which was way too huge. Ultimately I’m returning them though because the arch support is TOO high. I need arch support for long walks and use orthotics, Birkenstock’s, and merrell sandals just fine. This one has a massive arch support that was too painful to stand on too long sadly.

these shoes are extremely cute and fit my wide feet really well and i really really was so attached to them. however, I had to return them because the arch was a bit too steep for my flat foot. i already knew that chaco's brand usually causes an issue on this for me, but i couldn't resist trying. this shoe was a lot wider than most their shoes. much more comfortable for my feet personally, minus that arch.

The shoe was great but the lacing was way too long and a hazard to safety.

Cute and comfy. Nice to have support in a water shoe. A bit heavier since they do have more substance. Good for boating/kayaking. Not sure I’d take a long walk in them. There’s no such thing as an ideal water shoe, but these come the closest! Wish they came in half sizes

I really wanted to love these and they were comfortable--but a tiny bit short (I wear an 8-8.5 usually and ordered an 8) in the heel area. Plus, these might be some of the ugliest shoes ever. I would have looked past that, though, if not for the strap that tightens on the ankle being ridiculously long. When tightened, it hit the floor when I walked. I knew immediately that there was NO way I was keeping these! I would have constantly worried about tripping on them.

great style and concept CRAPPY execution, "Z" strap if pulled tight to fit you have 8 inches dragging the ground, needs rear adjustable heel strap, hard to get on needs a snap buckle and Velcro for proper strap length

Wow. I wore these all day hiking in Maui. They worked great. No blisters. Not too hot. Took the mud and rock terrain and even were comfortable with my high arch.

These looked much cuter in person. I usually wear a 6.5 and 6 wasn't available...so I went with the 7. Too big. :( Also, fornthose of you hoping for arch support and wear orthotics otherwise? -(there isn't a ton of support), my feet would of course, appreciate much-much more. Sorry Chacos, back to Zappos you go. Hope to try you again sometime in a size 6.

This is an excellent style for warm weather shoes! I bought 1/2 up and have two pair! The only go to this summer and fall in Florida.

Love these! I have 3 pair. I can stand all day and my feet feel great. I have to have quite a bit of arch support and these delivered. I am a 10 1/2 in my shoe size and I went with a size 10 which worked beautifully. I am a hairstylist of 33 years so support is critical with my feet.

I wear a 7.5 in shoes, and went against my instinct and took the Zappos size up suggestion to an 8 - and they are too large. Exchanging for a 7, which will hopefully be better. The 8 was also pretty wide/clunky looking in the toe box, and hoping the smaller size will be better with that as well.

These shoes are very comfortable. I can definitely feel the arch support. It may be a little more than needed, but I've worn these shoes now for a few days, and I have absolutely no foot or leg pain afterwards. The toe box is plenty roomy, and the fit is spot on. The shoe is adjustable and is easy to slip off and on without readjustment. I love the color too.

These were very comfortable and had significant arch support but I had to return! They run a full size too large!

These shoes are great. I mean I think that they are more stylish than my Keen water shoes that I owned in the past... but I still wouldn't say that they are stylish. Chacos always have great arch support and I think that these follow that trend. I wore them to the beach a lot this summer, and while they did get pretty sandy they cleaned up very nicely. And they definitely will last for longer than just one season.

I love these shoes. I bought them for a trip to Colorado where I will be doing light hiking and where I’ll be in water. I didn’t want to buy water shoes because I don’t know when I would ever wear them again. I figured these can go in water and I could still wear them walking or on a light hike. They are very light and comfortable. I’ve been wearing them out and about to break them in and an very happy with the quality and fit.

This is an interesting shoe. I wanted in the solid grey/silver, but got the mauve. It was fine color wise. Wide for my narrow arch. The adjustment strap would have hung to the ground. If you have average width feet, these are fun. They have good support, which I've found doesn't necessarily exist in many "sneaker" type shoes, which is surprising. Better than some like Puma, Nautica, etc. Surprising. This is a smart look I think. And fun.

I liked them a lot, but unfortunately they were just too wide which made them feel too big. I was disappointed that they had to go back.

These are beyond amazing! I am so happy I took a chance in these. I live the sandals and these are even better. Maybe my all time favorite shoes.

Very cute casual shoe! I have narrow feet and they did seem a bit long. I’m going to to order the next size down and I hope they fit.

These are just the shoes I’ve been waiting for! Great job Chaco! I trail hike, go for walks around town and kayak! I think these will fit all three. Wore them around town today and people where asking me about my shoes and liking them. Very comfortable. I need extra support and these do the trick! Two thumbs up!
