From the manufacturer

Chaco-Born On the River

In 1989, a Colorado rafting guide had a vision: To create the ultimate footwear for outdoor adventures in and out of water. He gave it a symbol — the gecko — because of their ability to adapt and thrive in nearly any environment. Then he gave it a name, Chaco.

Women’s Sandals & Footwear

Women's Outdoor Sandals and Light Hiking Footwear

No closet or pack is complete without women's outdoor sandals or shoes from Chaco. Our collection of premium women's footwear comes in a variety of materials – like rich leathers and durable PU – to cover everything from adventurous hikes to lunch dates to treks around town. Our women’s footwear feature the Chaco LUVSEAT footbed for all-day comfort and support, so you can stay strong on your feet, no matter what the day throws at you. For warmer weather, choose Chaco women's sandals to keep you stylish, comfortable, and confident as your trek and travel.

Life Comes From The River

Since our earliest days as the go-to sandal for rafting guides, Chaco has always been a solution to a problem: keeping feet secure and steps confident in moving water, whether rivers, rapids, or waterfalls.

Getting to the beach is our day at the beach

When it comes to coastal life, our sights are set on those isolated stretches of sandy paradise found by taking the road less traveled. Having the place to yourself turns a regular beach day into an unforgettable experience. And getting there is half the fun.

Brews and shoes

Chaco knows mountain town living. From days packed with action to late nights with friends, it’s that intersection of style and performance for the adventurer’s everyday.

    These took a day to become accustomed to, because I didn't have full leg extension--missing a couple of degrees--after surgery But the heel is ever so slightly lower than the toe, I doubt anyone else would notice it, but it made me straighten my leg completely. Wowed the PT. They are soooo xomfortable, fantastic arch support--both arches--and this color strap goes with absolutely everything. Very cushy for my thinning plantar fat pads, too.

    I have had my Chacos for about a month now, and let me tell you, best purchase ever! They have been through a lot these last few weeks; camping, hiking, vacation, and so much more. As an avid birkenstock lover I was skeptical that these were going to live up to the hype of the Chaco name. Although I still cherish my Birkenstocks I have officially converted to Chacos and here's why:

    - Waterproof! I can wear them in the ocean on vacation to protect myself from sharp rocks. They are also so perfect for camping since you can simply rinse them off in a campsite sink or shower if they get muddy.
    - Support, these shoes have terrific support with minimal bulk. I have knee issues, and these have a perfect support but can still be packed without taking up too much room.
    -So cute! I get constant compliments on both my Chacos and the Chaco tan that comes with wearing them every day.
    - Extremely versatile, I can wear these everywhere. Hiking has been so much more enjoyable since they truly stick on your foot and move with you.

    MY #1 TIP:

    The reason these don't get five stars all around is due to the initial pain of getting them set up. THE STRAPS ARE ALL CONNECTED! They go through the sole! So simply pull on them going from the top down, and you can adjust every single strap. This was a game changer since they will be highly uncomfortable if you don't adjust them to fit your needs. I feel like this isn't talked about enough and can cause people to really hate them without proper education.

    Let me start off by saying I've been looking for years for the perfect sandal and have finally found it!! I dislike wearing shoes but traditional sandals don't have good support. Ive gone through atleast one pair of sandals a year, even the expensive "wear all day" sandals fall apart the same as cheap flip flops. I had a pair of Tevas before trying these and I loved them but they fell apart in less than a year which is very sad since they were $100 lol.

    Desperate I tried these because why not? These are the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn!! They are durable, have great support, fine in water, and they are so cute!! It's impossible to find all of those points in one sandal but here we are! I love how the straps work, so creative and no Velcro which is a huge plus!

    I am very satisfied but I should note I've only had these about a month so hopefully they hold together as my main shoe for more than a year. Although at the price point I'm ok with them not lasting forever, I'd happily buy another pair.

    Love Chacos. Last backless pair of classics lasted like 14-15 years. Wanted to get the z1 to run around the wet grass with my puppy. These are perfect for that and nice enough to wear out and about. Typical Chaco comfort and arch support.

    I at first was a bit confused about adjusting the sandals, but eventually got it and got them to fit my feet. I have very thin feet and am a size 8, so I had to tighten it to the most it would let me, which still felt like it wasn’t entirely secure. They seem a bit uncomfortable with the placement of the arch, and I can imagine that they would cause discomfort or blisters from the strap in the back if you’re doing a lot of walking. They are very cute, but I can’t see them working for everyone. Although being able to adjust them is useful, the strap hangs so low that it ends up dragging against the ground, which is inconvenient. I feel they are made for wider feet, and not narrow or petite feet no matter the size.

    Este modelo que compre muchas veces lamentablemente ha perdido su calidad. Las correas que eran gruesas ahora se han vuelto más delgadas y menos rígidas. Lamentablemente, estas nuevas correas finas y suaves no soportan muy bien el peso de las suelas.

    I ordered a 9W but these are definitely not the correct size. The Amazon label shows 9W, but the Chacos label underneath clearly shows 9M. Compared side by side with my older ones, same model in 9W, these are shorter and narrower. Best to order directly from Chacos website as the sizing is not correctly advertised through the Amazon orders
