My favorite Chacos

By Benjamin Refling Ranked #66 - Men's Technical Sandals June 24, 2009

I've owned ZX2s, Flips, and Zongs, and the simple, original Z1 is by far the best of all these excellent sandals. I prefer the Z1 without the toe strap because the two different pairs of toe-strapped Chacos I've owned have always felt unnecessarily tight in the toe area, and I wasn't sure the added stability was worth the trade-off. These Z1s may not be as easy to slip into as my Zongs, but overall they are more comfortable and trail-worthy, and leave my feet feeling great. Although I'm disappointed that Chaco production has moved to China, the difference in product quality, if any, is not apparent to me. Plus, you can't beat the price on this backcountry.com exclusive color.
