The only thing that worries me is what if I feel like getting new flip flops a few years down the road, but these things are still in great condition? Will I feel guilty buying more?

After being a loyal fan of both Reef and Teva Mush flip flops, I found a pair of Chaco Flip on sale and decided to give them a shot. Overall, I've concluded that while the Chaco Flip is not as comfortable as the Reefs and Tevas, they are much more durable.

I'll start with the soles. In the past I've easily worn through at least one pair of Tevas/Reefs each summer. The Chacos, on the other hand, sport Vibram soles and are very durable. They seem as though they will last for many years. Unfortunately, this durability comes at the expense of comfort and weight. In contrast to the the soft, squishy, light (3.4 oz) foam sandals I have worn in the past, the Chaco soles have a rough, hard, heavy (10.4 oz) design. At 3 times the weight of my old sandals, I am still adjusting to them. In addition to the durability of the soles, they have a better ergonomic fit and become grippier when wet which is a plus if you plan on wearing them in wet conditions. I've found that foam sandals get very slick when wet and provide little or no support. The strap is not as soft as the strap on Reefs and Tevas, but it is well made and fits well. I found no need to size up or down. Lastly, the sandals are more expensive than the foam variety, but this is warranted as they are likely to last much longer. All in all, these are very stylish and well-made sandals. If you are used to heavier shoes you will have no problem with them and will love the legendary Chaco durability and quality. However, if you like the squishy, soft feeling of lightweight foam flip flops (ala Teva Mush), I would suggest trying them on before pulling out your credit card.

I bought these slippers because they are the only ones I could find that had real rubber on the soles. They were replacing my 10 yr old Tevas that had river rubber soles that had finally worn through. The sandals are comfy and supportive a little heavier than the Tevas. My biggest grip is the sole isn't Vibram anymore at least not on mine. It is 25% recycled content so I hope they're made from pirelli racing rubber.

Ok, so the Chaco Flip might not be as functional as the more traditional Chaco designs. But as far as flip-flops go, they're hard to beat. A friend of mine has owned her Flips for over four years, and the only visible wear is the spot where a dog tried to chew the strap apart. I've had my own flips for two years and they are holding up fantastically. At least one reviewer noted that the Flips are not as comfortable as Tevas or Keens... I don't find that to be true. I prefer the fit and materials of the Flip. They also seem to provide more support for your foot.

The long and the short of it - if you have to give up your regular Chacos for a stylish flip-flop, you can't go wrong with these. These are the only flip-flops that will survive a nuclear holocaust and then some.

these could be the best flip flop style sandals I've ever had. They're super comfortable and the soles on them are awesome for wearing everywhere. I took other reviews recommendations of getting a size bigger, but I don't think you need to once the straps stretch out and break in. Mine are a little big, but they fit fine and i'm happy with the purchase. They seem super durable and like they'll last a really long time.

I've bought two pairs of these over the past, oh, 10 years, and wear them as my every day shoe. So I went ahead and ordered what would be my third pair recently, identical size and model to what I've had twice before.

Uh, oh. Looked mostly the same, but the sole was different, not a biggie. Put them on - "Hm, doesn't quite feel right. Maybe I just need to break them in." Wore them for a week until I couldn't stand it any more.

Called Chaco and, alas, the company has been sold and they are now manufacturing in China, and they're "having some quality control problems with straps that are too short."

They said they'd replace them, including free shipping both ways, so I sent them in. Back came an identical pair with the identical defect - strap is too short.

Bummer, I loved my Chacos, but I've returned them now and will have to find another brand.

As a lifeguard I have gone through many pairs of flip flops. At first I got Tevas, but they only lasted me a year because the sole would wear down to nothing. Not to mention, the soft foam padding was horrible for support. Then one day my wife bought me a pair of these. At first I was hesitant on the price, but it wasn't long before I knew nothing could compare! These have lasted me over 2 years of very heavy wear, getting wet daily in harsh pool water, beat down by the rays of the sun, hundreds of miles walking, and more. I am around 200 lbs and these give me the support I need to be on my feet and walking all day (on hard and abraisive concrete). They're expensive for only being flip flops, but after my experience I would pay full price any day. Buy these and you'll be spoiled for life.

I have a narrow, low-volume foot, and these fit very well, nice and snug, good ach support. the better the fit, the less friction, and therefore fewer blisters.
my only complaint was that the flip flops had a "black" tag on them, but they were clearly the rold rush brown color. Either the Backcountry shipping guys are color blind, or they were heading out the door to go climbing. i'd send them back for a color change, but seriously... who notices the color of men's flip flops?

Light, grreat fitting, good arch. Not a Vibram sole so you feel a few more rocks, but a great summer wear.
Straps come nice and soft so break-in doesn't exsist.

These Chacos are the perfect thing after you've tortured your feet on trail, in biking shoes, climbing shoes or any other form of footwear. I have used these as my go-to sandals for a year now and they've been a lifesaver. They're great when you want the comfort that Chaco is known for, but your Z's are a little too much. They do run tight, so you'll either need to go through a callous-forming break in period or simply order a size up. I've never been able to wear flip-flops all day until I slipped these babies on and now, they rarely come off.

Let's face it. There's something to be said about paying fifty bucks for a pair of flip flops. Most people would think you were crazy. But these are well worth it.

I took a pair of these bad boys on a two month expedition through Philippine jungles last summer. I'm talking, several miles of tough terrain, in and out of riverbeds, and sitting out in the hot sun. And I STILL wear them, just about every day. They're unbeatable. You won't be disappointed, I promise.

I haven't been wearing these for more than a few months, so the long term durability remains to be seen, but these things fit so nicely! They were definitely a little tight at first, I'm glad I opted for the slightly larger size, maybe half to a full size, but they are not too long on my foot at all, and they have broken in perfectly. They have a super solid feel, and very comfy with the curvy arch of the rubber.

I really like these, I was tired of all my flip flops breaking at the thong, so I hope these last, I'm sure they will. Super solid construction, great fit, great look too. Pay up a bit and get these, especially since your cheapies will be breaking soon, it's just better to get something that will last. BTW, I bought them on amazon for 23 bux, so I didn't even really pay up much at all.

These shoes have completely changed my take on flip flops. That said, I almost feel bad calling these flip flops. I used to wear the cheap foam shoes, both because they're exceedingly cheap and very comfortable. However, after wearing these, I don't think I could go back. The straps on these are incredibly comfortable (after being broken in). I would definitely suggest breaking them in before trying to wear them all day. However, after the straps break in, these are all you could ask for. The sole is thick enough to protect you from just about anything, and the footbed provides enough traction, even when wet, to make it easy to keep your footing. An excellent investment.

I got a pair of these after doing research on footwear that "actually" support your feet and don't just "look good". Chaco's are the BEST sandals my feet have ever stomped on! I'm a TOTAL convert. Goodbye Tevas, goodbye Reefs, and especially my meager pile of 3.99 fly by night flip-flops!!! Anyone need x-tra thick beach-themed drink coasters....seriously...

I wore these religiously walking the uneven streets of Playa Del Carmen, Cancun and Cozumel for 4 days straight. My feet were not as tired, they did not feel as sore and my arches were not cursing at me! This was a real test, I walked on the sandy beaches, got them wet repeatedly, cobble stone streets, toured Tulum in them, trotted through the cenote riddled mayan-owned jungles, shopped the overly-commercialized streets and even took them dancing on Playa Del Carmen's 5th street for about 6 hrs. After all that, feet were as happy as I was.

In terms of durability, they are outstanding. After my 2-week trip, the vibram soles showed NO WEAR...almost like I never wore them...AWESOME! They are very comfortable and they DID ACTUALLY support my arch! The only 'thing' I noticed is that after about 3 days of walking on them they did wear my skin a bit on the outside strap of each sandal. Hard to describe exactly where, outer-lower left on left foot & outer-lower right on right foot. Now this is MY fault because I took a flip-flop when I should have been wearing a trail-shoe or maybe even a boot. Being a former Teva & Reef man myself, the Chaco flip's straps do come back a bit farther than the average sandal, in order to create a more stable platform, however this is also what rubbed the skin on my feet raw. No blood or anything but it was sore and red. I only mention this because I was new to Chaco and this took some adjusting to after about 27hrs of wear. Don't let this deter you one bit, I liked them so much that as soon as I got back I bought myself another pair!!! A stylin' beach bum...am I

Chaco will resole or custom fit them if you so desire. Needless to say I'm moving in on the Chaco Z's now and they are all worth every penny. Plus Chaco is a very green company, for those that care.

Don't take my word for it...Buy a pair, your feet will thank you.

These are what I am looking for. Durable flip flops that feel great. I've used these for tons of activities and they always perform. THE best flip flop...

Just buy a size bigger and experience the most comfortable flip you ever wore.

I could see these lasting me a few years. These flops are a good value!
They are durable and I like the material. Dirt wipes up easily.
The arch is great. It makes them easy to walk in.

The reason Chaco does not re-design their sandals year after year is they got it right the first time. Their products are built for the long haul casual, versatile, comfortable, and durable. Best performance flip flop around.

These are my 2nd out of 3 pairs that I owe. These are the classic style of 'island' essential. I have wide feet with low arch profile. I would say that these are good quality construction. The comfort is not as cushy as some other brands but they have good traction on the urban sidewalk and some mild trails. I would recommend these for lazy Sunday but not your daily commute.

These Chaco Flips are extremely durable and very solid. The first impression you get when you first pick them up is how solid they feel. Then you try it on your feet and you instantly realize how well they hug your feet. But be warned, the straps are made from nylon with no padding - there's stitching on the underbelly of the straps and they rub my upper feet raw.

If you can get over this, however, by way of putting on band-aid or climbing tape on the raw area or whatever, the sandal is backed by lifetime warranty, is very solid and extremely durable. The foot bed is NOT made from cushy material like in Rainbows or Sanuks or Reefs but it does stick to your feet in wet environment and... again, very durable as approach flops. Order size up. Considering comfort, not worth their full price, buy it when on sale.

This flip in my mind has it all, comfort, durability, and support. Plus it comes with the chaco promise. Chaco might be the best company ever, they will bend over backwards to help and if anything ever, and I mean ever goes wrong they fix it if a product defect, they pay for it. If your puppy chewed up your straps, they fix that too, at a discount.... Awesome, I will never own any other sandal.

I was devastated this past June when someone stole my Reef sandals during a triathlon I competed in, and for months I had to resort to the cheapo Old Navy sandals (no offense anyone). I loved my Reefs, and was trying to find a similar pair, but then I saw these Chaco Flip Sandals and I had heard good things about Chaco. So I thought I'd give them a try, and I am extremely pleased with the comfort and style of them. The footbed has a narrow snug fit and you don't feel like you are slopping around like other flip flops. The nylon straps take a bit of getting used to and yet with use they are very comfortable. I highly recommend them!

These are comfortable and have great sole grip for sticking to rocks out on the trail. Fashionable enough to wear around town, and techy enough to approach Half Dome via the death slabs.

Overall construction quality good. Beware of sizing: they are narrow and run small. My feet are 8 wide so, depending on the brand, I normally wear 8.5 and sometimes 8. With these Flips, I had to get a 9. The straps took some getting use to as the fit is tight. Initially, the straps hurt the top of my feet, but now they feels ok. I've been wearing these almost everyday for a month now, and they seem to be fine. One advantage of these Chaco's over cheapo ($5 to $10) flip-flops is the sole. The sole on the Chaco's have more grip and won't slip when wet. Disadvantages: (1) Price: sure these are a lot better than cheapo flip-flops, but are they 10x better? That's for you to decide. (2) Weight, these are significantly heavier than other foam-type flip-flops. The durability comes at the expense of weight.

For many years I was a devoted Rainbow customer. Recently I realized I needed something with a bit more support so I picked up a pair of Chaco Flips and instantly new my allegiances had changed for good.

I should mention that my Z2's are size 11, but in the flips I had to get a size 12. The 11's cut into my feet.

This is the shoe that is most often on my feet in the summer months. I got a pair on sale in Colorado last year, and they have been steller. I have a pair of Z2's as well, but I reserve those when I know I'm going to be active. For going to town, or hitting the beach, these are the sandals.

Was looking forward to spring so I can start wearing these sandals again. Tough as nails and pretty comfortable. My only complaint is that the footbed can be a little rough on sock coddled feet.

It's awesome Chaco is making a flip-flop now. These are very comfortable inspite of a thin sole. A contoured fit gives a stable ride. Sweet sandals!

These are wonderful! The problem w/ other flips is that they have virtually zero arch support. These are great, very supportive and you can walk around in them all summer w/out your feet feeling flop fatigued. They also fit snugly, but not tight.

Good solid feel. A little tight on the fit because I have think feet and I think these sandals were designed to fit tightly to normal-size feet.

I started out with the sandals, got the boots and now own the flip sandal. Hands down the best...great customer service. great products!

From town to coming down from Mt Mansfield, my flips have been everywhere. From kickin it with my bros to goin to dinner with the lady they are apropos for every situation. The footbeds give enough support for my aircraft carrier feet and the straps give the perfect amount of strap tan. Oh, and theyre good all winter. Im on my fourth pair in 5 years and I wear em 10 months a year. Perfect for getting out of ski boots and lettin the pups breath. If you need a supportive and good lookin flip look no further

These flip flops are perfect. They conform to the feet, leave no black marks on the floors, and are very comfortable.

Great sandals; I've worn the full-foot ones before and liked them, but were a little too confining. Right now I'm living and working in Sri Lanka and wearing them every day. They just keep getting more comfortable! Buy these sandals if you’re looking for a sturdy, comfortable flip flop. They have great Vibram soles, the toe curls up a bit for protection, and the strap goes way back on the side of your foot for stability and security.

There's not much one can say about these flip flops other then they're GRRRREEEAAAAT. Incredibly comfortable, both in the toe strap region and in the adequate padding of the shoe itself. After owning these shoes for a month, I can say that I would go anywhere in these that I would go in tennis shoes.

Order a size or two up though if you like that extra flip in your flop. I got a 12 and usually wear a 10-11, and the 12 was perfect.

I liked my Chaco's so much bought a pair for husband and son. They love them.

No "High Performance Flip Flop" isn't a political tactic, and though it may sound oxymoronic, it is precisely what separates the Chaco flip sandal from your average three dollar drugstore variety. Anyone who isn't seeing a therapist for severe control issues can appreciate the ease, comfort, and simplicity of a flip flop, but dependability is not usually an attribute that allows them to be used for more than beachwear. The flip is the exception; with Vibram replaceable soles, durable fitted straps, and anatomically correct footbeds, this thong won't leave you high and dry halfway down your next river trip.

Thus far, they rock. The simple fact that they don't start to stink when they get wet makes them worth it. Plus, they get have pretty good traction, they don't slip as much as most others.

These are great sandals! And the price is worth it. The contour of the sandal hugs the feet nicely and makes them very comfortable to wear. And they look nice too! The beady surface feels great on the bottom of the feet and it is non slippery. I wear them all the time with jeans or pajamas they look great with anything. Get em!

These are probably the best pair of slip-on sandals I have ever owned. The strap attachment that fits between the two front toes could be a little shorter to hold the foot in place a little tighter, but not a big deal since these aren't the kind of sandals you wear hiking. Chaco rocks!

good fit, comfortable, and they last. I've had my first pair about 3 yrs, wear them all the time and no sign of wearing out. worth the price.

Be sure to order one size larger if you want it to be fairly loose. Overall, a pretty comfortable sandal with the Vibram sole, but the straps are a bit tight for my size 11 feet. I should probably have gotten the size 12.

I've been wearing Chaco's Z/1 Unaweep sandals for a few years but decided to try their flipflop instead of my Reefs. So far I have been extremely pleased. Sure, $50 is alot to spend on a pair of flipflops, but you get that Chaco quality and comfort that is synonymous with their products. I would definitely order a size larger than normal, because they fit very small (especially the strap). Originally, I bought an 11 because I wear a 10.5/11 in regular shoes....but ended up going with the 12s because they fit how flips should fit.

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.

I have taken these flip flops to Guatemala, Costa Rica, Belize, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico (among other trips), and they have held up very well. They have good arch supports, and are lightweight and durable.

Best slide sandal I have ever owned. Worth the premium price. Very good looking. A little hard on the feet but getting more comfortable with wear.

found these on clearance at a local store for $35, and even though my chaco unaweep sandals weren't ever all that comfortable, i tried these on and instantly loved them. i'm a big flip flop guy, and am used to paying ~$40 for reefs, but when i tried these on, i knew i'd found my sandal. they fit so snug, and support my arch in a way other flops never did. i have been wearing the heck out of them. they just came up on S&C for a fantastic price so i just bought another pair in another color.

i think i bought these sandals one size too big, but i still love them. after living in flip flops for two years as a peace corps volunteer on a pacific island for two years and continuing to do so in grad school for another couple of years, i was a Reef fan. they were relatively durable and relatively comfortable... until i got into a pair of Chacos. i always loved the foot bed of Chaco sandals, but their straps always rubbed me raw; so i stopped wearing mine. when i saw they had flip flops, i bought a pair immediately. i'm a huge fan. like many other reviews have pointed out, my feet aren't as tired when i take them off at the end of the day. the flip flops don't fall off my feet when my feet get wet (like they do in Reefs). and i don't slip in when i wear them in the rain. the traction is great. also, the support is pretty good too - not a lot of soft cushion like with reefs, but much better support.
overall, i would recommend these to everyone, so long as they get the right size. i bought them a little big, but still love them and will wear them whenever i can!

These are the most durable and comfortable sandals I have ever worn. I'e owned a pair previous to this pair for years but was needing a new pair. I was grateful to have found a pair for such a low price!

These flips rock. Sturdy durable sole (Vibram EcoStep) with great arch support + very little break in time, if any. 1-1/2 yrs in with no visible wear. Dont lose grip or comfort when wet + dry relatively quickly.

Worth the money because you will have them for years.

Thet are quality sandals. They cost a little more than most sandals, but i think they are worth it. I like my sandals to fit snug, bc they always end up getting stretched out. I wear an 11.5 and I ordered an 11. The strap stretched out a little and now they fit perfect.

These are really durable and will last forever! The sole is also slightly green with 25% recycled rubber. They have a ton of arch support unlike most flip flops.

The Chaco Flip sandals are sized at least a half and really a whole size too small.....had to return them....cost me shipping and my time for which, in the end, I received nothing.
Backcountry's advertising is deceptive. They lured me into the purchase with a sale banner but behind the sale banner only six of 21 shoes were actually on sale. Sizes were very limited. See for yourself, this is how the ad reads: On Sale: $35.72 - $54.95 35% Off, Regularly: $54.95.
It was a bad experience for me. I doubt I will be shopping Backcountry or Chaco again...certainly not Chaco, not in this economy....$55 for flip-flops. You have got to be kidding. Backcountry, you are into me for my hourly rate. Won't be spending my time, wasting my time, on your nonsense again. I value my life and just don't have it to give away. You have fooled me once. There won't be a twice.

If you get these flip flops they will probably be the last ones you ever get. These are the most well made flip flops out there. Sure they are the most expensive but they will also last 5 times longer than your average ones. Plus they have vibram soles and come in cool colors.

Not only are these the best pair of flips that I've ever owned, but they are the most durable. I'm just now thinking about replacing them because they are a bit worn out after 4 years. I've used these heavily: pretty much wore them every day every year from March to November. Greatest flips ever. You buy these and you'll never buy anything else.

You just can't kill these things! Right out of the box they require no breaking in to be super comf. I'd recommend sizing up if you have a wider foot, since these seem to be geared towards narrower feet. Oh! and if your heel has a tendency to wander off your flips, or just biases to one side normally because of your gait, these have a wonderful cradle that keeps your flips glued to your heel.

These definitly run tight, at least for me and I have a narrow foot. Ordered my regular size and almost sent them back in the beginning for discomfort between the toes and top where the strap divides above the toes. After the first few hours my feet were begging for my old Reefs! :-(

I loved the support of the footbed and durability of the sole material, so......I stuck it out and kept wearing them a little each day. After a few days my toes adjusted or the straps broke in some??? Anyway, they feel fine now and I'm happy I held on to them.

Grip, footbed support, and sole durability are the best I've had in a flip-flop. Took a little getting use to but worth it in the end.

Still not as comfortable as my old leather trimmed Sperry flip flops. I bought a pair in black and one in brown but wish I had looked harder for the Sperrys...

i bought these sandals after reading a few reviews that said that they start out uncomfortable, and then stretch and get more comfortable. not the case with me -- i owned them for about a month, and got some blisters, but figured that they would stretch soon. however, they didn't, and i eventually returned them. otherwise, very cool looking. one more thing: the arch is in a funny place.. but maybe that is just specific to my feet.

We bought the flips without ever trying them on. Don't get me wrong, they're great...better than any other flips except maybe the chaco Zongs. Next time we'll get the Zongs just because they have a better footbed and vibram soles.

best flips ever-own 3 pair

I purchased my Chaco Flip Sandals about 4 weeks ago. If I can ever get the chance to wear them for extended periods, I'm sure I'll like them even more. I bought these flip flops really to be shower shoes. I feel that they would really be good for a fair amount of walking if given the chance. They are some of the more supportive flip flops I've ever had. They are not some squishy flimsy flip flops, they are well built and should last me for quite some time to come.

Just a note: I have pretty narrow feet, and the straps fit me very well. I would not suggest this particular model if you have wide feet.

Just imagine a slipper that can get wet and dirty but not slippery. And when they're dirty just step into the river to clean them off. I am going places with these I've never before gone with flip flops. FITTING can be funky. If you have a narrow foot or you want them to fit tight go with your normal size. But if you want them to fit like a hawaiian flip flop or have a high volume foot go 1 full size up. Also the footbed on this sandal is shorter than the same size Z1 or Z2. If you spend alot of time outdoors and want a durable flip flop, you can't go wrong here.

This Chaco Flip looks really good, but it is not a sandal I would choose for all-day comfort. The sizing does run large. Typically Chacos are great!

Very sturdy flip flop for those of us born with swim fins instead of feet!

I am happiest when in flip flops. If I can wear them all year round i would. Just moved to Thailand and now I can. These flips are so comfortable and give me enough arch support that I can wear them every day and get no foot or back pain as other have given me. I'm strongly recommend.

I have owned many flip flops and never really though much of them, other than as a cheap substitute for shoes. These flops completely changed my outlook on what a flop is. They are just as comfortable as any shoe I have worn and are a must in any warm climate. They actually have arch and heel support, the footbed does not break down and they can be re-soled! Being as I'm from SLC, these flops pretty much do not leave my feet in the summer except to sleep and hike. The price may seem steep for a flop, but considering they will last for years, it's a very good deal.

These are a great flip flop. Had to get a second pair because the first pair got lost in a rafting trip. Before that these flip flops lasted me for 3 years and still in great shape!

As otheres have mentioned they start out extremely snug fitting. After a month of wear mine have loosened somewhat, but still not enough. Also have issues with chafing (and then bleeding) on one foot.
That said, the quality is excellent, as is foot support compared to other flip flops. Will be perfect when mine relax a bit more or I develope the necessary calluses.

Well I had to get these because the dog ate my leather ones and I figured that these may not taste as good so they may last longer. Well I am a size 9 in just about all shoes and measure it on the Brannock Device, I got these in a 9 and the length and width seemed good but it was the strap that was tight. Just took about a good week or two for them to break in. They feel good and fit great. The strap is still snug but not to tight. I love these! Now that I have broken them in I can flip my flop, kick my feet up, and enjoy a cold beverage at the end of a long day.

I got these for my boyfriend. he is around a 7 1/2-8. More on the 7 1/2 size. So I knew from reviews and my experience in the women's flips that these runs small. So I got him the size 9. they fit him really well. there is extra length at the front of the flip. He must not have as long of toes as the chaco foot model they used for designing around. I am really glad I did not go with the 8, would have been too small!

These are the best, most comfortable flip flops ever made. I've tried everything from $4 foam flops to Reefs and they all pale in comparison to these.

The Chaco footbed hugs the contours of your foot for all day comfort. I've walked miles in the Flips without experiencing any foot fatigue.

I was a little leery of the fabric they use to go between your toes. At first it felt coarse but I have not experienced any problems with it.

I'm going on three years with my first pair and they are still holding strong.

But these are way nice! I have been a loyal Chacoite for 6 years and have never liked the whole nylon between my big toe, this is really comfy though. I usually wear a size smaller in a sandal, but for the flip I am true to size. no need to size up or down.

This flip flop is the best out there! I wear them all the time and they double as great hiking and approach shoes. The sole is tough and sticky; you won’t feel stones poking though from the trail. There is a bit of a break-in period that may give you a small sore from the webbing, but if you make it though that you will love them for a very long time!

Quality material marred by high arch (uncomfortable with each step) and heavy feel. I've owned many sandals with quality material and lightweight.

You did not have a womens size 8 so I tried the mens size 7. Big mistake, way too big and had to return them. I requested a refund but have not seen anything yet. I will keep looking for the womens size 8 because I know how great these flips are.
