Customer Reviews Chaco Banded Z/Cloud

Ordered these NOT realizing they were Men’s Chacos so I had to exchange them for Women’s sizing. I usually wear a 9-9.5 Women’s and at first I ordered these in a 7 hoping that would fit but I ended up having to exchange for the size 8. I also have naturally wider and flatter feet than most so that may have something to do with it. Hope this helps!

The banded z/cloud are comfortable and fit very well. This is my first pair of chacos, and I anticipate wearing them a lot based on the first few days. We were on a mountain road trip last week and I was wishing I had these after every hike and river adventure. Now that I have some, my wife is thinking about getting them because they’re so comfortable and versatile. I couldn’t decide between the classic z/cloud and the “banded” version (extra lateral strap), so I ordered both and am returning the classic version. The classic z looks better (more traditional, more minimal), I found that the banded one had a much more secure fit, especially at the front of the foot. It appears that they move the forward-most strap towards the toe slightly to accommodate the additional middle strap, and this adds a lot of stability near the toe. The classic version probably would have worked fine, but I appreciate the added feeling of the shoe hugging my foot. Highly recommend.

This shoe so far is absolutely amazing. The fit and comfort are excellent. As long as it holds up as expected it will be a home run..

Excellent Chaco sandals. They appeared well built and are very comfortable. Chacos run big so you may want to size down.

I had a pair of Chacos that I really liked, the leather casual streetwear type. I wore them nearly everyday and everywhere. Thought id try the more classic all terrain Chacos people rave about. Sorry, I just don’t get it. They are SO heavy. The sole is big and clunky and again HEAVY. Not for me.

Comfortable, good fit. Strap is a little long when pulled tight. But overall they're great sandals.

Fit is perfect. Very comfortable.

The floppy strap system's lateral forward anchor point is pretty far back. It leaves the outer edge of the fore foot with little to keep it from sliding outwards. Too little for me.

I had foot surgery on my toes and was looking for Chacos to exit out of the surgical boot. The banded Chacos have a third strap in the middle that pushes the strap closest to the toes out too far and covers my toes. That was not good and I had to return them. I wear a 10 and tried both a 9 (too small) and a 10 (perfect fit, but not for me).

Just did not feel comfortable on my feet. The right little toe felt pinched and the rear strap did not feel secure. I was unable to adequately adjust the straps to correct the above issues.

this was a men’s shoe, so way too big for me.

Sorry ,these were terrible for my feet. I could not get my toes and ball of my foot into the shoe. The front parts where the straps are were not adjustable and are a one size fits all. Only the back part where the ankle and heel go are is adjustable. Also the straps had no cushion against my bare feet. Meaning I would have to wear socks all of the time.
