Chaco Women''s Zong EcoTread Sandal

I just bought my 2nd pair of this style today.I love these sandals.They travel well, walk well, are used on trails and in the shower on trips.The strap system keeps your foot in the foot bed, no sliding.I would not do strenuous trail hiking in them.The arch is terrific and I can walk all day and my feet DO NOT hurt.I have plantar fascitis and these sandals have kept me pain free because of the arch.

My first few "dates" with these Chacos didn''t go so well... I ended up with blisters on the top of my feet and the straps on the top of my foot loosened while walking, causing the toe loop to tighten (I have since "solved" this problem by flattening the toe loop)... not so pleasant. As much time as I have spent in denial and then in acceptance of the somewhat poor design I am now in love with them (maybe because they leave you with cool tan lines???).

If this is your first pair of Chacos, I''d suggest trying them on at a store before purchasing them online and fit ''em to your arch... you''ll be much happier. I''d also suggest trying a different style first, maybe one with a heal strap, or w/out the toe loop.

I have a love/hate relationship with these shoes. I''ve wanted a pair for a long time, and was disappointed when I finally indulged. I have a problem with the straps tightening around my big toe as I walk. Chaco, however, is sending me a new pair in a different style for free to replace them. Apparently, this happens to some people because of the way they walk, so they are very accomodating in replacing the shoes with a style that doesn''t wrap around the toe. Way to go, Chaco! That''s customer service! I did wear them backpacking in Europe and they were great. The style is great because you wear them with pants, shorts, or skirts/dresses and they go with everything. I am looking forward to my new ones and am hoping to have a better relationship with them.

I absolutely LOVE these Zongs !They fit perfectly, they take away any heel pain you might have, the straps adjust, but also stay put.An ingenious system !They are absolutely NOT clunky, and they stay on without having to do a "toe curl" or anything.JUST PERFECT, I will buy more of this style. Thanks to Amazon for having them at a discounted price.

Previous zong-like sandal from chaco lasted 6 years, fit like a glove, could wear with skirts, or on the trail.The newer version''s straps are too thin, and not as comfortable; the straps slip out of place with just a little wear.
