I want to get a pair of Chacos for hiking...specifically the narrows in Zion (and similar trails/creeks). Would I be alright with saving the $30 and getting the Z1's, or would the performance on the Z/2's be worth the extra money? Also, is there any difference in the life of the shoe? Does the Z/2 outlast the Z/1 for several years, or are they made about the same?

I hike the narrows a lot and I never wear sandals. I have the FiveTen Canyoneers or regular shoes. In the narrows you want something to proect your toes. I love Chacos but not for the narrows.

Hey Austin.. The only difference in the z1 vs z2 is the toe strap. The Z2 has a strap that wraps over your big toe. A lot of people like this better for a hiking sandal, as it provides some more side-to-side stability. The construction is the same, same webbing, same midsole, and same outsole. They are usually the same price as well, if you are seeing one that is discounted, it must be an older webbing color. Dont be shy on the price of Chaco, their durability make them the best value in the sandal category. Good luke, both models will be perfect for ZIon.
