Customer Reviews Chaco Lowdown Sandal

I’m usually a 7.5 and have a very narrow foot. I ordered a 7 and it was perfect. I wore during a full afternoon of hiking thru wooded area/streams on day one and had no problems with then loosening.

My daughter and I both prefer this design of Chaco over the original. Very comfortable and easier to adjust than the original Chaco design.

The lowdown is like Chaco's dressy summer sandal. This sandal is a also little lighter. The arch support is not as aggressive as their usual sandals, which is actually nice.

Great water shoe! Very comfortable.

Love these sandals!

I LOVE the new Chaco Lowdown sandal. Unfortunately, I wanted to the Lowdown in solid navy and it was only available in women's sizes. Chaco customer support advised me that adding 1.5 to the men's size gives the corresponding size in women's models. While this was true for the length, the width was just a bit too narrow for my liking. Everything about this model is fantastic, hence the 5-star review. In fact, I own several pairs in other colors. Just don't expect to order a larger women's model and have it perfectly fit a man's foot.

Nice sandal, a little hard just need some time to break in.

Everything was great -- materials, fit, comfort, cuteness. These are really clever sandals that adjust all over from just one place. And no velcro!

Same classic Chaco support in a lighter weight sandal. What's not to love?!

I've worn chacos for many years. I really like the look and the olive color straps of this shoe. I would have kept them except the strap keeps getting caught in the buckle and then it's impossible to slide the strap open to put the shoe on or off. There are little teeth on the inner side of the main buckle, the strap fabric gets caught on it. Please chaco improve the buckle so this does not happen. I compared it to an older pair and the teeth are smaller and smoother. Other reviewers have had the same issue.

These sandals not only look good but feel good. They are really comfortable and will look forward to wearing them for many years to come.

Too hard to adjust straps, then left a long strap end.

I am returning these sandals because the straps are too bulky and rub on my foot. The footbed is great- especially for my high arch. They just did not feel comfortable to me with the straps.

The size was good. But I had to return them because the way the sandal was designed the webbing rubbed on my little toes.

I wear size 9 shoes and have true wide feet, i.e., I order W width shoes. I was hoping that these would work for me, but they are too narrow in the midfoot. The strap fixture on the inside of the shoe rubbed into my arch in a way that would definitely leave a blister, and my foot was wider than the shoe bed on both the inside and outside of the shoe. I definitely do not recommend these shoes for folks who wear W width shoes. They are really cute, and I really wish they had fit!

I'm normally closer to a size 8 in most shoes, so I first ordered a size 8 in this sandal. Unfortunately, it was just too big and I couldn't tighten the straps any tighter to warrant keeping that pair. I ordered a size 7 and it fits perfectly! The back strap on the heel could be a teensy bit tighter but I'm very pleased with the fit. The width feels perfect and the sandals are light and cushiony.

These fit true to size for sandals for me. I love how they are lighter weight than regular Chacos and look more feminine. The bottoms do get sweaty in the summer/humidity, but I like how they dry fast after water activities.

The styling color are super cute. However, for some reason size nines are too big now after ordering size 9 for years straps come loose when walking, I would pass on these in the future.

I really wanted these to work. The foot bed fit perfectly. Unfortunately, one of the straps has a large seam that rubs.

I bought these to replace a pair of the same Chaco lowdown sandal but these just didn't feel the same.

These fit similar to other Chaco sandals that purchased in the past. I really wanted to love them, but they just don't work well for me. The backstrap on the sandal is quite long for my foot. It can be adjusted but doesn't seem to stay in place after walking for just a bit, making the sandal straps too loose again. The fabric on the adjustable strap has also snagged on the teeth of the buckle, resulting in the shoe getting stuck on my foot. I've been an avid Chaco wearer for years, but I'll stick with the Z Clouds.

Pros: These are very cute and lightweight. Really liked the color combination and less chunky sole. Straps are all over adjustable. Cons: these started rubbing my heel after wearing them only a minute or so. The straps seemed to be thin and less durable than I’m used to with Chacos. The materials overall seemed cheap. Ran TTS to slightly small.

too flat to walk on for me - need more arch support

I really wanted to love these. But two problems, still too wide on my foot after all the cinching and adjusting. The adjustment strap system needs to be simplified. Even if the width was a good fit, these sandals take way too long to put on and take off. Too bad. Keep it simple is always the best way to go.
