Chaco Z/1 Unaweep Sandal - Men's

Item #CHA0031 | 145 in Stock
1 Star Rating

Like walking on sandpaper + blisters

By Ranked #412 - Men's Technical Sandals September 11, 2009

After reading all of the amazing reviews of this product, I went ahead and purchased a pair of these for a trip to Europe. After just a couple of hours wearing these around, I had a huge blister on my left heel. The surface of the sandal is extremely hard and rough - it literally feels like walking on cement bricks with sandpaper and they shredded the soles of my feet. I am very confused as to who is writing the reviews of these sandals. It seems that the soles changed where and how they are being made, but I don't see how there can be recent reviews of this sandal that are positive. I am now stuck in Europe with these things and will have to deal with returning them when I get back. For the price of these, I was expecting much more comfortable sandal. They are so hard and solid that they will probably last forever, but if you're looking for comfort, avoid these at all costs.

along with the other comments to this blasphemous comment...you have to allow time for the chaco's to mold to your feet and they are indeed the comfiest sandals on the market. teva's and every other competitor fall way below the chaco standard
