Chaco Z/1 Unaweep Sandal - Women's

Got these in 2003 and aside from one small snag on the back heel loop, you would never guess it. I brought them backpacking with me and although they add a little weight, they were awesome to have once in camp to lounge around and walk through rivers in.

These sandals definitely serve their purpose: a clean cut, water loving sandal that is very versatile. They do have a thick heel and take a little longer to break in than preferred, but they do eventually, but it's easy to adjust and looks good whether your crossing rivers or eating paella...

These Chacos are probably the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn! Great support for a high arch & attractive as well! I'd like to have another pair! This is from someone who has LOTS of different sandals - Teva, Reef, Rainbow, Mephisto, Clark, etc.

Welcome to the most comfortable sandal ever made. I wear these shoes to church and hiking. They are such a versatile pair of shoes. If you are looking for a utility, go to shoe, this is it. Get a pair, better yet, buy 3.

I love these Chaco sandals. Having flat feet & some arthritis, these sandals gave me the support I needed for long walking & hiking. They also gave support to my high instep. I plan to purchase another pair next year. Thank you.

At first when I ordered these shoes, I didn't understand them. I got a size 8, the length fit great but the straps were too small. SO, then I ordered a 9 and those were too long and the straps were HUGE! So, I decided to order an 8 again just to see if the ones I got were like messed up. I finally figured out that the straps can adjust! You just pull them! SO besides the miscommunication, I love these shoes and recommend them for everyone! I have worn mine to class, on hiking trips, to work, and anywhere else! I love them!!!

These are my first pair of Chaco's and I love them. I use them for small hikes, camping, and just to wear around.

I have been very happy with these shoes. The reviews I'd seen were right - the arch is high and it takes a few wears until you no longer notice you're wearing them, but after that they are perfect. The whole strap system is adjustable so you can tailor the fit, and the instructions are helpful. I got the purple moon color, which is pretty. I have received several compliments on them. Overall, I recommend the Unaweep Z/1 highly.

Having completely worn out every part of my old Z/2 Chacos, bought years ago, I am pleased to say my new Z/1 Unaweeps are equally good for my feet. With a painful Morton's Neuroma I can't walk or hike comfortably in anything except Chacos.

What a perfect summer shoe! I took a 1yr old and 2yr old to the Smokey Mnts. and we went from water to land never once slipping even while holding baby in the streams or on the trails. Plus my legs still felt good at the end of the day thanks to great arch support. It is the only shoe I wear now.

I really love the Chacos, but the straps get a little tight across the top. I'm a tall, big-footed gal, so I often opt for guy sandals instead of girls for this very reason. Once they're a little more broken in, I think it'll be fine. Other than that, they're super comfy.

I bought these to use camping, canoeing, hiking, and I use them all the time for everything. They are very comfortable and easy to adjust. I have a high arch and wide toe base. I am between a 7 and 7½ and the 7 fits great. I also have a pair of the Colorado Dipthong, which I also love from Chaco.

These are pretty good, though they definitely need to be worn in since they created blisters initially. They're very sturdy and great if you intend on doing a lot of working.

I thought that the new design of these Chacos would provide the comfort and reliability that the original Chaco Sandals provided. After receiving these shoes, Women’s Size 8, I felt that they were flimsy and were nothing like the original Chacos that I have owned for 5 years. I promptly returned the Chacos and they handled my return in a professional manner.

My husband's been wearing Chacos for a few years now and loves them. He's one of those types that wears sandals everywhere...to church, to mow the grass, skiing (well they made him put on boots but before and after he had Chaco's and Teko Merino wool socks in the 15F weather!). He recently bought me a pair of Z/1s, they were my first pair of Chacos. We haven't done any major backpacking yet, but we hiked a fairly technical trail in Florida a few weeks ago while wearing Chacos and they were awesome. Incredibly durable and comfortable. I see why he's hooked. I have the Z/1s with Colorado sole, he just upgraded to Z2's with the new Unaweep sole. He claims it's the best sole he's had on any pair of Chaco's, but the Colorado has been fine for me.

Chaco footwear is durable and comfortable. They're the best as far as I am concerned.

I won't repeat the raves about these shoes, they are very nice and can be re-webbed and resoled, which make them so eco-friendly, and are not made in sweat-shops- yay! As far as sizing, I disagree with the person who said order a 1/2 size down as opposed to up, because mine are a tad snug—I followed their advice. I do have super-wide feet, and ordered a wide, but will order a 1/2 size up next time.

I recently received a new pair of Chaco Colorado sandals for my birthday. My family thought it was a great gift for me, since I have worn my previous pair for about 7 years several times a week from spring until fall. They are very comfortable and the best part is when you are walking around in the rain they won't slip around on your feet!! I love gardening, they are perfect for that, too. My old pair will still be used, they have plenty of wear left. For me, these shoes have been a joyful part of my life. I have a lot of foot problems and they have helped me hike in Canada, shop in Mexico, canoe in Kentucky, walk on the beaches in Florida, and take my grandsons on many adventures.

I can't get over how sturdy, comfy and fashionable these sandals are. I wouldn't change a thing about them, and the wonderful thing is that I use them not only as my outdoorsy active wear sandals, but also as my dressy city sandals as well! Form and function all in one! By the way, if you are a half size, order the next smaller. For instance, I am normally 7 1/2 and 7 fit perfectly but 8 was way too big.

Recommended by a friend, these sandals are out of the box comfortable; easy strap adjustment; great for walking and look okay with casual wear, even skirts. I even wore them to the office a few times! Plan to take them to S.A. on holiday.

I used to own a pair of Nike ACG rafting sandals which somehow ended up missing last summer. I was majorly upset about that. I tried and tried to find something similar that I liked but ended up at a dead end until I found the Chaco's. I didn't order them right away being a poor college student. Luckily, backcountry had them on sale not too long ago and made the purchase that made my feet smile. I put them on to try them on and didn't take them off until 11pm that night. LOVE THEM...and thanks for the great price. Way better than the old Nikes anyday and made here in the USA!

These are the most supportive shoes i've ever worn -- I have high arches and usually have to wear arch support inserts in my shoes (or just suffer.) Not these! However, it has taken a while to get used to the rough surface of the inner-sole --- I found them to be a little harsh on the bottoms of my feet. it wasn't until I developed a little callusing that I was able to really enjoy the sandals.

I wasn't sure about buying them online without trying them on first but read about the return policy. So, I got the Z/1's to wear while bopping around town or out for a walk. They have good arch support and are easy to take on and off with the slide strap. Super easy to adjust! I love my Chacos! Even though it's still fall and the MN weather is getting cool, I still find myself choosing my Chacos over other shoes.

I wore these sandals almost exclusively on my recent trip to Europe. Due to foot problems, I have tried many expensive brands (including Mephisto) and have never before had a shoe as comfortable as these are. Neither my feet or legs got tired in spite of a great deal of walking. I wore them with black socks on the plane to keep my feet warm. I highly recommend them.
