Comments about Chaco Z/2 Unaweep Sandals - Men's:

These sandals are comfortable after initial adjustment but ge tighter and tighter on the big toe as time goes on, which requires repeated adjustments. They also are ridiculously heavy. I wished I'd noticed that in the store but it really came to light when I was watching the weight of my diving bag for checkin on an airline and I weighed them ... over 2 pounds! That's ridiculous for a sandal. I'll go back to Teva to meet my all around needs any day.

Comments about Chaco Z/2 Unaweep Sandals - Men's:

I have a long, narrow, low-volume foot so it's hard to find shoes that fit well and almost impossible to find sandals that don't fly off my feet with every step I take. The adjustable straps on the Chaco's are awesome! I can cinch them down to the perfect fit. I thought I would wear them to the crag, but the fact that they don't have toe protection stopped that. So, I mainly use them as casual wear around town and to the office. They have great arch support, but if you're on your feet for a couple of hours they tend to get a bit uncomfortable due to their stiffness. Pretty darn good sandal though. I highly recommend them.

These things are great. I was worried they would be too bulky at first, compared with my Tevas, but they are fantastic.

Comments about Chaco Z/2 Unaweep Sandals - Men's:

I got a pair of Chacos last winter as a recommendation from a close friend of mine and after getting them adjusted to my liking I have rarely worn any other shoes since then. From hiking, to school, to a day at the beach they have held true. They have saved me a few times also. Over the summer my father and I had run out of gas in his speed boat in the middle of the lake. Fortunately I have large feet, and had my Chacos with me sine he decided to not keep a set of paddles in the boat as a back up. After around half an hour of paddling with my size 13 Chacos we were able to reach shore and load the boat up.

They have a wider variety of uses than I would have ever expected, and I will always recommend these to family and friends.

Comments about Chaco Z/2 Unaweep Sandals - Men's:

I bought these in a pinch because I needed to replace a good pair of Tevas that were stolen on the beach in Honduras. Big waste of money and a constant irritation!
One expects a bit of chafing from new shoes but I have never before experienced such constant discomfort: over 8 months the sharp straps would continually find new places to cut into my feet. These are not serious equipment!
Also, the strap-holes in the sole collect exfoliation and dirt and really reek!
If your idea of adventure in foreign lands is searching the markets for sandals and bandages and washing your shoes every night, these are for you!
On the plus side, the soles of my feet are nice and tough from bare-footing!

Toe tightening

Comments about Chaco Z/2 Unaweep Sandals - Men's:

Purchased these sandals at REI a few weeks back. Overall fit and comfort is great. However, I've been experiencing the dreaded and apparently common, toe tightening issue. REI and Choco customer service both confirmed this was a common problem. REI has an incredible return policy and suggested I simply return the sandals. I decided instead to contact Choco customer service to see if anything could be done. I was told to ship the sandals back to Choco for a "fix". This all sounded great until they told me I had to pay for shipping. I just spent [$] on a pair of sandals and now I'm expected to spend another $15 shipping them to the manufacturer to "fix" a problem that is obviously common. Appalling. Looks like I will be taking advantage of REI's unconditional return policy after all.

Cuts Off Circulation to Big Toe

Comments about Chaco Z/2 Unaweep Sandals - Men's:

Ouch. I was looking for some sturdy sandals to replace some worn out Tevas for hiking in and around water (e.g. Zion's Nat'l Park Subway). I bought these based on the raving endorsement of the REI salesman. I wore them for 14 days straight, with moderate to heavy walking everyday (3-5 miles daily). Even after getting the straps adjusted correctly, as I would walk in them the straps would tighten to the point where the toe strap would cut off the circulation of my big toe and it would turn purple. They hurt so badly I would have to remove them 5-6 per day to loosen the straps and let my feet have a break. The problem is, the straps became harder and harder to adjust, and after 4 days I could no longer adjust them using all my strength. It felt like I was about to tear the rubber footbed when trying to slide the straps pulling as hard as I could. The strap would occasionally chafe while walking, but usually tightening it slightly at the ankle would help this. After two weeks of wearing them daily, I was convinced that the amount of effort on my part to keep them from cutting off my circulation was not worth it, so I took them back to REI. Thank heaven for REI's satisfaction guarantee. Other than the toe-strap and difficulty with adjustment, they seem to be very high quality shoes, but what does that matter when you can't wear them for an hour without experiencing pain. I am told that there are ways to get the straps to slide again if they bind and can't be adjusted easily like I experienced, such as running them under water, through a washing machine, etc. But seriously, I've never owned sandals that required such high maintenance. My Tevas required no maintenance. I just wore them and never gave them another thought. I need reliable shoes, not another to-do or chore. My opinion? All hype. Good looking, trendy, and not worth their hyped reputation or cost.

Comments about Chaco Z/2 Unaweep Sandals - Men's:

These are really great sandals, the only problems I had with them was when I first got them they caused blisters but now they don't. I also had an issue when I first got them with them being rather uncomfortable due to me having very flat feet, but now I won't wear anything else. I highly recommend these to people that have flat feet due to the high arch support.
