Comments about Chaco Flip - Men's:

There are plenty of cheap "slippah" sandals to be had here in Hawaii. For us it is the wear any where foot wear.

But one of the nastiest things you can step on out here is the large kiawe thorns. They go right through the bottom of your slippahs....unless you have your Flips on !

I brought a pair back from the mainland a couple of years ago....and have rarely taken them off. After seeing the performance of mine, almost all of my group of friends have bought their own pair.

Everyone agrees it is the best slippah they have used....and they even look nice enough to wear out to dinner or at a wedding (we all have done both)....get a pair !

They are more expensive than the $5 drug store sandals, but the Vibram sole lasts way longer and they are MUCH more durable.

Comments about Chaco Flip - Men's:

Living in Africa requires footwear that lasts and never gives up. I wear my Chacos for everything, safaris, digging, beach, hiking, etc. With a pair of Chacos on my feet I never worry about needing another pair of shoes. Simply marvelous!

Good sandals but they are a bit hard. They don't have much padding on the sole. They will last a long time but aren't all that comfortable.

Wore these flips to my beach-themed holiday party...big mistake. After gettin' my drink on and tearin' up the dance floor, the strap separated from the footbed!!! This wardrobe malfunction dampened the rest of the evening for me. [...]

Comments about Chaco Flip - Men's:

I originally thought these were a bit expensive for flip-flops, but having tried their Z1 sandals, I gave these a try and fell in love with them. They're extremely comfortable and relatively lightweight for a sturdy design. I like the Vibram soles and have found them grippy on wet surfaces. Two thumbs up!

Comments about Chaco Flip - Men's:

I've never had much luck with sandals. They did not fit well, chafed, fell apart, did not hold up to water. These flip-flops seem miraculous: their sole is molded such that they actually support the arch in my foot and do not slip off in water (this means that I could -- and did -- give up my ill-fitting Tevas for good). They are comfortable over long-periods of time. The straps are wide enough to not chafe, yet sturdy enough not to snap. I've used my pair every day over the last two summers, in the city, on the beach, in the country. I took them to Australia, to Europe, to Duluth, I've gardened in them, even spontaneously hiked in them, and they are still going strong.

Comments about Chaco Flip - Men's:

I generally don't like flips--they are sloppy and cheap. So if I was going to get any I'll admit it, I wanted Reefs. I wanted to be able to open bottles with my feet and/or sport a few shots of liquor in my footbeds. I tried Reefs, turns out those gimmicks came at the sacrifice of function and comfort. I reluctantly tried on Chaco's. The contoured footbed with arch support cups my foot and keeps the sandal in place far more than your average foam plank flips. The strap swings back farther on your foot for a more secure fit. The textured surface of the flip keeps them on your feet even if they get soaked. The Vibram souls promise to wear more gradually than the average flip. The price is more than standard flips, but you're buying more than a standard flip, and that $$$ isn't going towards fashion or gimmicks either. It is true that these are heavier than some flips, but if you're looking to shave ounces from your extreme light-hiking pack perhaps you don't need to bring flips in the first place. I would challenge anyone to walk a few miles in these flips vs. foam planks and tell me that softer non-supporting foam didn't leave their feet just beat down at the end of the day! Wait until they're on sale, or buy them full price--either way they're worth it.

Comments about Chaco Flip - Men's:

These sandals are the perfect sandal, I can't recommend them highly enough. I've had the same pair going on almost 4 years now and they are still going strong despite almost daily use. I have never had a pair of sandals that are this comfortable after this long. They also have incredibly great traction for flip flops; I have only slipped once or twice in these things and it was on my own accord. If you are looking for a pair of durable, high quality, and most importantly, comfortable, sandals, look no further!

Comments about Chaco Flip - Men's:

I am a woman with wider feet, so I bought the men's flips because they fit better. Overall I really like these shoes--they're supportive, stylish, don't chafe too much after about a week, and have nice, thick soles that protect my feet from rocks and thorns.

But...even though I've had these sandals for over two years, they still squeak under my feet! Sometimes it doesn't happen, or isn't as noticeable, but often times it's embarrassingly loud. I don't know if the strap simply isn't tight enough on my foot or what, but I don't wear them to quiet places like church or the library anymore for that reason.

Comments about Chaco Flip - Men's:

Tried multiple brands, especially more expensive flips. These were the most comfortable and well built then other pricier ones. I would have been totally ok paying double but to my surprise found a flip half the price, just as stylish with jeans, khakis and shorts, and more durable. Great arch support too1!
