By Ryan Ivy Ranked #2 - Men's Technical Sandals February 3, 2010

chaco's are hands down the best technical sandals i've ever owned, however, if you're doing more technical stuff, i'd HIGHLY suggest getting the Z2 chaco's. they have an extra toe strap thats keeps you planted to the shoe. just posted a pick of being stuck in mid shin deep in TEXAS mud. which is MUCH more different than midwestern mud. Texas mud has a lot of clay and sinks practically everything it touches. (my samurai suzuki on 32's w/ 5inch lift, 6 to 1 gear ratio and the works. i've never gotten it stuck in the midwest, but in texas...DANG!)

my twin had the z1's at the time, and after losing his chacos in the mud and spending a lot of time with his arm in the mud he converted. the z2's are by far more superior for more technical things and does not allow you to slip around or anything of the sort. the z2 is more versatile on every terrain and your foot doesn't slip forwards on steep inclines and slopes.

my twin denied it's the z1's inferiority alllll day til he got em stuck in the mud.
