Customer Reviews Chaco Z/1® Classic

I bought these for my 23 year old daughter and she loves them. She wears them with everything and always received compliments.

These are awesome active sandals, I am definitely happy with my purchase ?

I purchased these to wear at the river. They did not disappoint! I do however, have a blister on each big toe but they will be fine after they toughen up! Slapped a bandaid on and didn't miss a beat! Can't beat these for water shoes. I am considering purchasing another pair that is a little more fashionable to wear out and about. They are very durable and these will last me many years. At my age I think they will be my last purchase of water shoes. HA!

The Z/1 Classic is just that - a classic Chaco. Comfy footbed, good arch support, and a highly adjustable fit due the the genius strap system. If you're truly between sizes, I'd recommend ordering the smaller option. Chaco, if you're listening, I'd appreciate more solid color options.

I decided after 17 years I needed a second pair. The straps and sole are softer but still supportive and secure. The arch and midfoot support are better molded to my feet. The heel cup is still in the right place for my plantar fasciitis relief. The strap itself is longer which I needed. It no longer looks like I barely fit into them, though they're essentially the same size/buckle placement. The creme de menthe colour is cheery - if a bit more vibrant than I expected. I actually prefer it to the exact tone I anticipated. The ankle strap feels more secure than the original pair (part of why I didn't wear them enough to wear them out). They're super!

Perfect color!

I love these shoes. I've worn them nearly every day since they arrived. I bought my first pair of Chacos 12 years ago, and they are still going strong. I finally convinced myself to get a second pair, and I'm so glad I did. Fun color, extremely comfortable, and definitely worth the money.

Got these as my second pair of shoes for a road trip two years ago. They were my favorite sandal. SO comfortable with the arch support, very easy to adjust and really sturdy. We were backpacking one day and the weight of my pack threw me off balance and I stepped in the water I put my Chacos on for the rest of the hike and I had no issue. The sole of these sandals are really great for hikes. I love these so much, I'm looking to get another pair.

My third pair of Chacos! One pair I sent in for a strap change. The company is amazingly helpful if you should have any questions too. i have waaaaayyyy too many good things to say about Chacos. Just try them.

OBSESSED!!! Highly recommend for anyone dealing with foot pain / looking for a versatile warm weather shoe. The ball of my foot has been injured for a few months and these are the only shoes (in my closet) that make me feel BETTER. I love that the straps are adjustable, so I can get it to fit my foot however I need for the day. I have medium-wide feet, and a medium arch, and I find them extremely comfy. I wear them for long walks and I plan to bring them to Greece for a hiking retreat because I hear they are water friendly. I chose the all red color because I wanted it to look more brand anonymous. No regrets. I get constant compliments on my red shoes :) :)

chacos rock!!! my 3rd pair--worth every penny

Love these! I am usually a 7.5-8 and ordered a 7. You really don’t need extra room in Chacos. I feel they run slightly big.

Very comfortable once I figured out how to adjust the straps.

Terrific shoe! So many complements on the pinky/clay color. I typically wear an 8.5, but ordered the 8, which fits perfectly.

These are the best for walking on rough uneven surfaces. I can walk for miles.

I initially went up a size since I'm a half size. That was a mistake for me, but now I have the correct size and the review is for the better fitting size. Go down if you're a half size! I'm in my 20's and just got diagnosed with plantar fasciitis. After getting used to the higher arch support that my doctor encouraged me to find (getting used to the new shoes took several weeks), these shoes have been excellent. My feet still ache at the end of the day but I can go much longer without pain than before. And I think the ache is the fact that I'm still working towards strengthening my feet. I specifically like this version of the Chaco because it doesn't mess with my bunions either. And the Classic footbed is a bit more rigid than the other options, which I've read is better at supporting the foot. Even with the more rigid shoe, these are still plenty cushiony for me. I love that the straps are adjustable which is great when you're on your feet all day and need to loosen them up. Love love love.

I absolutely love my Chaco sandals! They are so very comfortable and provide great support. They are my warm weather walking shoes! This is the second pair of the Classic sandals ordered in the wide width as my first pair was a medium and there wasn't much extra strap. This pair, however, has a much longer strap than my first wide pair which was purchased 2-3 years ago. It's so long that it almost touches the ground when I walk. This really doesn't bother me, but I thought I'd mention it as a point to be considered.

I usually don't ever spent anywhere near to $100 for sandals, but I decided to invest in a good pair. Reviews were so good. Well, I LOVE these sandals! I wore them a few days before vacation to break them in, and they were wonderful for walking and beach for my cruise. Great support and comfy. Initially, one strap was loose, but then it self-adjusted. The strap at buckle was a tad long once tightened, and I didn't want it dragging, so I folded it over and sewed it to secure. perfect!

I love this sandles and wear them most everyday. In the water and even while hiking. Great all around sandles that last. This will be my third pair in about a 17 year time frame.

Most comfortable sandal I've ever worn to the point of not wanting to take them off.

These are great! They do take some work to adjust them but once you do they are so comfortable!

These are great sandals. I bought this pair to replace a current pair, which I’ve had for many years. They are comfortable and work well in a variety of settings. Highly recommend.

Love these! Very comforable, supportive, and cute!

Very comfortable sandals that provide good arch support. As someone with narrow feet, I appreciate the ability to adjust the bands to exactly fit my feet.

They are completely comfortable!
