good but not great

By Benjamin Refling Ranked #64 - Men's Technical Sandals June 23, 2009

I own this sandal in hemlock. I've owned Chaco Z2s and Flips before and I was looking for something that would bridge the two in terms of cost and usefulness. These sandals are quite good, definitely a step up in durability and functionality from your everyday sandal or flip-flop, but without the backstrap I've found they aren't particularly useful in steep or wet conditions. I will keep this pair for wearing around town, but I've purchased a new pair of Z1s for use around the water at my family's lakeside Montana cabin. Bottom line: This is a good sandal, but it just isn't as great as the classic Chaco.
