Great Arch Support & Comfy Too!

I needed a lightweight hiker to wear daily. ( I work at an environmental center.) They had to be comfy enough to wear indoors, in the classrooms, and tough enough for the trails - all the while prividing support for my plantars faciatis and torn ligament in my ankle.
These do it all. I can wear them with my ankle brace ior without and still be comfortable. My plantars has not been hurting. I paired these with the Columbia lightwt. wool hiking socks and they make such a difference.
There is a small amount of heel slip in all the Chaco hikers I tried on - low or mid vent. I was worried initially about blisters but it has been totally a non-issue.
If you need a reliable, comfortable, well arched hiker - buy these. Backcountry has the best price around ... buy two. :)
