Ok....looking at the Chacos, can you tell me about how they fit? If you normally wear a size 6 are they sized the same? I see the Uniaweep, the railroad, the z/2, the z/1. Oh I'm so confused!!!! Ladies?
I love it...
Ok.... for me, I wear a 9.5, but have relatively narrow feet, and find the 9 regular in the Z/2 works just fine for me. It's a close fit - I don't have a ton of room on the strap, but there's plenty there. If you wear a 6, I would say the 6 would fit... you might have to cut the strap (the black part that is extra) if there is a huge chunk hanging.
One warning on the Chacos... you'll have funny, funny tan lines (my feet stay striped year 'round, because they get so dark in the summer)... and they will build a small callous if the arch ridge hits you in a certain spot... and if you have sensitive feet, the textured bottom will take a little getting used to. It keeps the foot from moving on the footbed with only those straps holding it in place, but I know the first time I wear them after winter, I'll get a little sore spot where the end of the arch hits my foot and the bottoms of my feet will be sensitive from the texture. This passes in literally three days. And, if you foot doesn't hit those things, you won't have any problems at ALL.
I want to get a plain black pair for my fancier work days.
