Chaco Redrock Mesh Hiking Shoe - Men's

Item #CHA0071 | 5 in Stock
2 Star Rating

Not really a hiking shoe

By Ranked #153 - Men's Hiking Shoes April 20, 2009

I put about 300 miles on my redrock shoes before giving them up for some legit trekking boots for long trips and trail runners for short trips. Further more, these are not water proof which I ignored while purchasing.

Plusesarch support out there. This shoe is only for very light short hikes on smooth terrain. Also great for walking around/street. Feet remain cool with the mesh construction.

Cons:
Sole is too soft and gets softer with time. If the ground below is rocky then the sole deforms too much and hurts the foot.
Unsuitable for backpacking. If you are going to carry a pack on your back and head out, there is zero sole rigidity.
