Chaco Sandals? Anyone heard of them?

[Hensandchickens]

I went to REI to get a pair of Teva's. I noticed the Chaco sandals came in wide width, so I asked the sales clerk about them. I just wondered if anyone's tried them? Are the worth the $90 price? I usually wear Birkenstock's, so this price is not too scary. The neat thing is the soles and straps can be redone. The web site is: http://www.chacousa.com/ Maybe DIS should start a new fashion and footwear forum!

I love my Chaco sandals! I too usually wear Birkenstocks, and this summer I had a clerk suggest I try a Chaco. I bought one of the hiker Chaco sandals, and my feet feel as good, if not better, than my Birkenstock. I tried Teva sandals - they really don't have enough support for my feet (which tend to pronate or roll inwards). Bought my DD (age 12) a pair too, and she wore hers all summer - she preferred the Chacos to her Birkenstocks, too. We also really like the adjustable strap on the Chaco. There are different levels of support in the Chaco footbed, so try on a few different styles and see what you like - as I indicated, I preferred a more rugged hiking footbed than a casual sandal.

I got Chaco sandals this summer after my hubby got a recommendation from some camp counselors in Wyoming for them. I have always had Teva's, which I've liked, but now that I have my Chaco's I will never go back to Teva's!!!!

I love that they are more contoured to the shape of your foot and arches and love the fact that they will basically last forever! I have the hiker sole as well and think they are worth every penny of the $90!

Also, Ebay has some Chaco's going for much less than $90 right now. Might be the place to start.

Thanks for the eBay tip. I'll check for my size.

HI, Dh loves his Chaco sandals, and he's been trying to convince me to buying a pair, he used to live in Birks, but now, nothing but chacos!!

He mentioned that not many manufacturers are making sandals in the US, but Chaco is one of them (again, high price) He has flat feet, and sings praises of the chacos

*love love love* my Chaco's ... I have 2 pair, I've ditched the Tevas. I'll gladly pay full price for the hours and hours and hours of comfort I've gotten. I have the pair without the back heelstraps (busy chasing after kids...).

Buy them! You won't regret it!!!

These shoes are great. I tried on about 20 pairs of shoes the day I bought my Chacos. As soon as my foot was in, I knew this shoe was the one.
Costly, but divided by the hours of comfort my feet will have, it will be a small price to pay.
