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.

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.

    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.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The most comfortable, versitale shoe I own
    Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2023
    Color: BlackSize: 11Verified Purchase
    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Best sandal
    Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    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.

    I’ve been wearing chacos for years, so I know they can be a bit tricky to adjust, but they are a great sandal for people with bunions. I have a pair of custom Z2s that are probably over 10 years old, plus 2 other pairs of z1 clouds that I absolutely love. I bought these because they were tie dye and they were only 50 bucks! They fit the same as the z1 clouds, however these like to tighten as I walk. Because of this, I wear them a little more loose like I do with my z2s. Even with this issue, they are still a pretty darn comfortable pair of sandals.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Fits okay when adjusted, but not super great.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2024
    Color: BlackSize: 8Verified Purchase
    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.

    3年前に友人に勧められ、購入しました。
    スポーツサンダルが流行り始めた頃でしたが、他のメーカー脱ぎ履きがしやすく見た目もかわいいので即決でした。土踏まずのサポートがしっかりしているので長く歩いても疲れにくいところが良いです。ゴム部分で調整できるので、外反母趾の私でも問題なく履けます。
    また、水濡れにも強く、これを履いて雨期のカンボジアに行きましたが、どんなところでも気にせずに歩き回れました。
    使い始めて3年目ですが、全くへたる様子もないため、この夏も沢山履きたいと思います。

    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
