Comments about Chaco ZX/2 Yampa Sandals - Women's:
I went in to buy Keens and decided on the Chacos instead. Very good decision. I wear them basically everyday. At first your feet have to get used to the places wear the straps will rub and the adjusting (somewhat confusing at first) but once you get it they are great! I hike, wear them to work (on a mountain), bike ride, and slackline in them! Overall awesome purchase!

So far this Spring I've used them out and about, church. They are comfortable, great arch support, fit my narrow, low volume feet well. I did have to adjust the straps just right to get the fit. It did take several tries. My usual size 7 fit well. One really nice thing about the Chacos is that you can adjust the width; that is a problem for me in finding any cute sandals in a narrow. I have the Pixel Weave color and love it. I have other Chacos, they are durable and can be machine washed. My others have been machine washed as sand (from slot canyoneering/swimming) had to be washed out.

It took some tweaking to get the straps just right, but now that they are these shoes are bliss! I wear them with pants, shorts, and dresses. I wear them to work where I'm on my feet all day and use them for long walks and light hikes. Love them!

Comments about Chaco ZX/2 Yampa Sandals - Women's:
I purchased these mainly for support and I heard great things about the Vibram technology. The sandal do provide great support for all use. They've been good for backpacking trips because I like breathable feet and this sandal actually provides the support and balance I need for long trips without my body feeling the pains later as was the case with an old pair of Teva Terra-Fi.
However, the biggest annoyance with these sandals are the straps. They make micro adjustments as you walk and eventually, the straps will tighten to the point where they strangle the big toes. For long use on backpacking trips, it required frequent adjustments that forced me to stop because the straps caused tenderness and blistering. While gauze and tape alleviate the tightening of the strap, I'll most likely look for another sandal that inflicts less pain.

Great sandal for someone who pronates when they walk. This sandal helps to promote proper body mechanics to the hip, knee, and ankle with walking.

I so wanted to love these sandals -- they're incredibly cute, and I've always wanted a pair of Chacos. First I tried a pair of women's 9 wides. I became an expert in the straps in no time, because I had to keep loosening the stranglehold on my big toes every 10 minutes. The wides were way too long; the heel strap extended past the back of the sandal. Next I tried a pair of 9 regulars -- they were too narrow and also kept trying to squeeze off my big toe. So I went to a men's 7 regular with a single strap, and in the words of Goldilocks, they were just right. Thank you, REI, for your open return policy; I wear my men's Chacos every chance I get. While they're not as cute and girly as the double-strapped sandals, I do not have to beg my walking companions to wait up while I adjust my straps ...

As always chacos seem to fit well once they are adjusted properly and are very durable. These replace the ones my wife has worn almost every day for 10 years, and not because they needed replaced but she wanted ones with color (her old ones were black, new ones are teal)

Like other reviewers, I wanted to like these sandals. At first all was well. I had the usual adjustment issues but got past those. Had the fit just right. Enjoyed wearing the sandals a couple hours at a time and found that I prefer the look of the Yampas to the heavier sole and tread of the Unaweeps. Then, the first time I wore this pair for several hours, I found that by the end of the day the straps on the left sandal were so tight that my big toe had marks for hours after I removed them. I've worn these sandals at the end of the day before and I think my foot was no more swollen that day than it had been any other. And, oddly, the right sandal still fit comfortably. These are wonderful sandals in many respects, but I'm not willing to continually adjust them so I'm sending them back. Gonna swap them for the toe-less kind even though I don't think they're as attractive.

I wanted to love these sandals. If I wear them for a short amount of time I do love them! However, I don't much like having to take them off every half hour to re-adjust the straps around the toe. Since all of the straps are attached through the sole of the shoe, as you walk it pulls tighter and tighter on the straps. After a bit of walking, if your big toe isn't purple yet it will be soon. Other than this (pretty big) issue, they are wonderful sandles. I wear them to work for a dressy/casual look and they are wonderful.
