Chaco ZX/2 Unaweep Sandal - Women's

Item #CHA0050 | 19 in Stock
5 Star Rating

Great Sandals

By Ranked #227 - Women's Technical Sandals June 23, 2009

Chacos are the only shoes I now purchase. They work better than orthodic insoles my pediatrist provided to alleviate my plantar faciatis.

The only minor design flaw I find in these sandal, as well as other similar models, is that the strap you pull to tighten the sandal is too long (and I have thick feet and ankles.) I tuck it into the stationery ankle strap so I don't walk on it. You could cut it, I just can't bear to damage these great shoes.

I know this may sound scary but I've done it many times with backpack straps and bike helmet straps. You cut the strap with scissors and then where the ends are frayed, just run a flame (for example, with a cigarette lighter) near it and the heat neatly melds the threads back together.

You can send them to Chaco and get the webbing shortened so that you don't have that problem anymore. They do it for free I'm pretty sure.
