I had the Chaco Z/2 with the extra toe strap for about a year, and although they provided plenty of stability and support, I could never get used to the straps. When these guys presented the Chaco recycle program, where your old sandals go to someone in need and you get a percentage off of your new ones, I figured that was a perfect time to try some new Chacos. I just wore my new ZX/1 sandals on a kayak trip this past weekend and absolutely loved them. For me, the absence of the toe strap was way less confining and the two small straps instead of one large strap provided a lot better fit and a lot more comfort. I hope this helps someone make up their mind.
