Worth all the hype

By Ranked #180 - Men's Technical Sandals September 27, 2009

I never owned original made in the U.S. Chaco's. The one's I bought are made in China, but I still love mine and highly recommend them. I've worn mine all summer long, at least 4 days a week, and they show little signs of wear. They are extremely comfortable and fit very well. The vibram sole provides awesome traction. Also, Chaco, is the only sandal company that designs their shoes with the American Podiatric Medical Association, to make sure the footbed conforms to the natural shape of your foot and your arch is properly supported. They are great, and anyone who spends anytime in the outdoors definitely should have a pair. They are tough, rugged, and comfortable. What else can you ask for in footwear?

I could ask that they NOT outsource to China, as Teva already has. Where else is there to turn? Have all companies lost their ethics? I just wrote to them at the email address mentioned in other posts and suggested they produce sandals in both locations, clearly marking their origin and see if people make a choice to buy USA-made. It's too late for that, since the apparently sold their equipment, but it is important to make sure they hear our disappointment.
