Chaco  Z/1 Ecotread Sandals - Kids'

Normally a 6/6 1-2 in women's, the child's size 4 fits like a glove! I have a very high arch so I've been looking for the right pair of Chaco sandals for a while now. I couldn't pass these up, and as you've likely seen in other Chaco reviews, they were wearable right after purchase, no time for breaking in. I took these sandals on a tour through Europe this summer and they were perfect, no rubbing on my feet and the support was exactly what I needed for 12+ hour days. Stop hesitating and buy the Chacos :)

I should first say that I'm a 24 year old woman! I buy nearly everything I can (that isn't creepily childish--hot pink or silly designs) in the kid's section. So if you're a petite woman, these will probably fit you! I'm 5'2", 105 pounds, typically a womens 6 in shoes and a kids 4. These are great. You'd never guess they're from the kid's section. They're comfortable, easy to clean, great for getting a perfect fit with the adjustable straps, and great for those who like open-toed shoes without the discomfort flip flops will give you. They did take a while to get used to the pronounced arch (I think I have narrow, naturally high-arching feet), but now that I have, I love that. Feels more natural I guess? My only complain is I wore them to walk to a store about 3 blocks from my house the other day, and on my way back I ended up getting a gnarly blister between my right big toe and middle (???) toe. It hurt, and kinda bummed me out. I haven't taken them camping or hiking yet, so I can't say if it would happen then. Could be I need to break them in more... who knows. Overall, I definitely recommend them. I'm thinking of getting some for my mom who has major foot problems but likes wearing sandals--the straps and high arch kind of hold your foot together. A recommendation for sure :)

The adjustable fit is wonderful and my daughter says they are so comfy! So glad we went with these.

My daughter needs arch support for her feet (she wears inserts) and these are excellent sandals! We upgraded from Birkenstocks. These are more child-friendly (durable). I love the adjustable strap as it allows some room to grow. Her feet are usually wide, these fit great!

The sandals seem well made and my daughter raves about how comfy they are. They seem to run true to size.

My 11 year old granddaughter loves her Chacos now but the strap was much too long. I cut it off, singed the edge with a lighter, folded it back and sewed it several times. She would not wear them until I cut the strap off because it dragged the ground..

I bought these for my son March 2018. He’s used them on several paddle trips, beach trips, hikes, and around town. He’s since grown out of them and we’ve ordered a larger sz.

The fact that the front strap doesn’t adjust is a design flaw. My six-year-old definitely couldn’t fill that space, making the shoe so loose.

My grandson was really enjoying these sandals, but unfortunately our cute puppy chewed one of his sandals.

Same quality materials you'll find with adult size Chacos. Good fit.
