Chaco Women's Zvolv 2 Athletic Sandals

This new Chaco is really better than ever! My first pair of Chaco was purchased in 2000. That original pair was superb! The sandals lasted 10 years with moderate use, and still looked new. No wear to sole. Those sandals were worn on hikes, for a national forest service job, and then in the summer, in the ocean, etc...So...well worn....Why am I saying this? B/c after 10 years, the shoe delaminated due to my negilegence (sandals left for months in the trunk of my hot car)...So in 2010 I had to buy a new pair, and did. At that point, Chacos were no longer made in the U.S.A. but China, and my new pair felt nothing like the original. I did buy a toe strap pair that could not be adjusted. In disgust, I threw them away after a few months and blisters in the trash. Fast forward today...I decided to give them another go now that Chaco had a new sole that was not a Vibram sole (much lighter I heard)....plus I was tired of wearing muddy sneakers on my hikes... I was planning on trying this new pair on, and returning them if they didn't work out....I can tell you how pleasantly surprised I was! The new sandals more than deliver... 1. New sole is much much lighter than Vibram sole....allowing me to wear them all day right out of the box. 2. No break in period. 3. Straps adjusted right away for me. It took me only a few minutes to find the perfect fit. 4. Worn all day long and my foot felt great! 5. I have an injury that hasn't completely healed (I broke my ankle 6 months ago), but these sandals really made it possible to run around and hike all day long w/out discomfort by the end of the day. This is huge for me! 6. The only slightly annoying issue is the strap. It hangs a bit in the back. I just folded it under the strap. I may have someone with a good sewing machine shorten it for me. Otherwise, these sandals are perfect. Now, lets see if this pair lasts me 10 years. So there you have it, I'm a believer in Chacos once again, and can now recommend them. I still wish they were made in the U.S., and maybe they will be again.

Oh gosh so glad I bought these. Pros: really cute, lovely color, arch and heel support, really padded to walk on. I have high arches and a high instep, and my feet give me a lot of trouble. I currently have a tarsal condition that is similar to carpal tunnel, but it affects your inside ankle. These shoes keep my foot supported and aligned properly, thereby easily the pain. The ankle straps took me a minute to figure out but no issues now. Basically these are not slip on shoes, but it only takes a second to put them on and adjust the straps. All of your toes are exposed, which means there is no squashing of your little toe like some shoes do. The wide straps feel great and secure - no worries about your feet sliding in them. They also aren’t super light or heavy to wear. The footbed is awesome- at first I thought the diamond pattern might be a problem for the bottom of my feet but I don’t notice it at all. The most comfy summer shoes ever, and you could easily add some dark socks and wear them with jeans in the fall. My podiatrist who hates summer shoes is even on board with these! If you are on the fence buy a pair and wear them in the house for a day. If you don’t love them, send them back. Just give them a few hours to get used to. And a big thanks to the lady wearing this brand at Aldi who recommended them to me. You were right they are awesome!!

These have been my favorite walking and creeking shoes. They are very comfortable to wear and have great durability. It can be difficult to adjust the straps at times to fit properly, but once they are adjusted correctly, they fit great!

This is my second pair of chacos and my kids all have them as well. I have a pretty wide foot and they all have narrow feet and we all enjoy them. I’ve tried on the Wide sizes and they are too wide for me but nice that they can accommodate even wider feet! I believe they are true to size. In Nike sneakers I wear a 9 and the 9 fits me great in chacos. I enjoy the wider foot strap on this style and the larger metal buckle! I wish they all had metal buckles over plastic. These are super durable and comfortable to wear for long periods. Since they are one continuous strap that adjusts at all points (except the very rear strap from the left to right side of ankle) making the fit totally customizable all the way down the foot. If the straps become difficult to move after wearing them, I like to wash mine and then you add a drop or two of fabric softener into the strap holes and pull the trap back and forth and it loosens up any gritty matter in there and allows the straps to be adjusted easily. The arch is very supportive. I have a hi-ish arch and sometimes wearing too long it can start to bother me a bit so would imagine those would be a dream for really high arched individuals.

This is my first pair of Chaco shoes and as usual, I read a lot of reviews before I purchased, many of the reviews stated to go up a size so I ordered both an 8 and a 9. The 8 fit perfect, the 9 left too much shoe in front of my toes and just looked sloppy. So far I've worn them around the house, to work, on my power walks of at least 3 miles in the evening and to a water park. They have performed wonderfully for each activity. I love that I can adjust the straps depending on what I'm doing, since I sit at my desk at work, I keep them a little loose for the inevitable swelling during the day. For my other activities I keep them a bit tighter. So far I haven't had the toe strap tightening issue that is mentioned in several reviews, but then again I found that they are just more comfortable if I always keep the toe straps just a bit loose. I do keep the straps going over my instep tight for my other activities and have not had any issues. I have fairly high arches and skinny feet so that I end up with a lot of the solid black pull strap on the buckle portion left over, so much so that it drags on the ground and looks awful. I've solved this by taking the strap and tucking it back up under the back ankle strap with the tag facing out so the tag acts as a "catch" to keep the strap from coming loose. It looks a bit funny, but much better then having it drag on the ground. I don't think this particular style is heavy and the bottom of the shoes hasn't bothered my feet at all, also I haven't had any blisters that are mentioned in other reviews. After trying many other multi purpose sandals that are now gathering dust in my closet, I'm so happy that I decided to give Chaco's a try. The are everything I was looking for; lighter weight, better fitting and stylish. I love my Chaco's so much that I plan on getting another pair soon, after all I am planning on getting rid of all those other sandals and a girl has to have choices...Right? :)

I Facebook polled with a status update: Are Chacos really worth it? People came out of the woodwork to share their love and testimonials in favor of the product. The response was so overwhelming, it felt culty. I drive a Subaru. It felt like Subaru people. And I bought the shoes, wearing them for the first time as I traipsed around England and France (25k steps daily). A ballsy move to bring never-worn shoes on your trekking trip where your only other pair of shoe was a 4.5-inch heeled boot. But: NOT A ONE BLISTER...NO SORENESS...NO GETTING USED TO THEM...NO NEW-SHOES FUNNY BUSINESS WHATSOEVER. My feet were so happy in these puppies from day 1. At one point, I was kneeling down in the Queen's Garden in London massaging my partner's foot--because they had chosen fashion shoes and had sore feet. I had bought a pair of Merrills when I purchased these. Merrills had been my King of Comfort Shoe. I ended up never wearing them and decided that despite the more adult, understated look and the comfort that they had, I needed no other sandal but the Chaco. My partner did giggle at them and point at my feet--the entire holiday debut of these sandals--mocking, "Little white girl sandals!" Other than their very clichedly cute earth-girl look and that their immediate comfort made me a Chacos person, this shoe is SUPER. You should buy them. You should buy them for whomever has you rub their feet. FIT NOTE: I wear 7.5 shoes and boots (footwear with socks) and 7 sandals (socksless footwear). I purchased these in 7 and they fit as expected.

These wide strapped Chacos are so much more comfortable than the ones with the toe loop and the tiny, thin straps. One large strap, very simple to adjust after watching a quick youtube video, ha ha. I’m generally terrible with adjusting things because my mechanical/spatial awareness is not great. But honestly, this is really not hard. I think the tricky part was realizing how hard you have to pull on the straps. It’s all one continuous loop so there’s nothing to break, but I pulled so hard that I was afraid I was going to snap something. But once I got the hang of it, it really is quite simple to do the adjusting. Most importantly, these are extraordinarily comfortable right out of the box. The strap is soft and supple, and doesn’t pinch or chafe when you adjust it to your foot. Also, my top of foot tends to be very wide, and these have a wide enough toe space that all of the little piggies stay on! It is true to size-I’m a US size 9.

I love Chaco sandals, specifically the Volv footbed (which they don't make anymore!). They are fantastic quality (my first pair lasted 10+ years) and I love seeing the variety of strap colors. This type of shoe is great for hiking and walking and if the weather is warm enough to be in Chacos, I'm wearing mine. Can't recommend them enough!

Leider zu klein38 entspricht nicht der 38 in Deutschland

These are WOMENS Chacos. Not men’s. Therefore you will be ordering the wrong size. Love Chacos. But wrongly described and sized.

I’m gonna wear these for ten years. Such a great deal and they are cool.

I just wore these for three weeks walking, hiking and climbing in Greece. They were sturdy, cool on my feet and the most comfortable walking sandals I have ever owned. I recommend these.

I love Chacos and ive been using them as a rafting guide for 10 years. The only problem is the soles of the shoes are not what they used to be. They used to have amazing grip on wet rocks, these do not. They are quite slippery, which is pretty disappointing. I will continue to use Chacos for the river but I wish they would go back to their old soles.
