An excellent alternative to Chacos

By Rumdoodle Ranked #938 - Men's Technical Sandals July 12, 2005

Unlike Chaco sandals, the footbed of the Padillac is an impressively comfortable ride. I've used them heavily in the last three weeks of ownership and can attest to their comfort and excellent traction. Activities they've been subjected to have included bouldering, walking off multi-pitch routes in alpine zones, stream crossings during wilderness backpacking, and canoeing. Padillacs are an average size in width and volume: I have very wide feet (size 9) which made a size 9 sandal essential although an 8 fit better lengthwise. Those of 'normal' foot size will find the fit pretty darn good, I expect. My only criticism would be the design of the heel pad, which is frustrating to position properly on the back strap and takes some practice to get into the sandal without twisting this around. Otherwise, a fine sandal.
