We do, we all love our Chacos. Who wouldn't? If you're like me, you have more than one epic you could tell while you wearing your Chacos. And chances are, if you bought them before July 2008, you're Chacos were either MADE IN COLORADO, USA, Like mine, or ASSEMBLED WITH PRIDE IN COLORADO USA.
This is no longer true. Chacos are all now MADE IN CHINA.

The sad part about this move is it was all for an extra 5-6 dollars profit.
"According to Wieland, factory to factory the cost to make the sandals will be $10 to $11 less in China than Paonia. With shipping and the import duty of 37-1/2 percent the total savings per pair of sandals will be between $5 and $6."
