Chaco

Chacos are a staple in Southwest Montana, you will see them on the river, on trails, and out at the bar. In fact it is relatively common to see them in January walking through the snow. You know they must be comfortable when people are walking through snow drifts in sandals.


Design

Chaco uses vibram soles for durable and comfortable footbeds coupled with polyester webbing that is made to be strong and look good.

Materials

Chacos are built to last, and the outsole is resolable so you can wear them everywhere and when you have put enough miles on for them to be worn out, just send them back to chaco and they will resole them.

Construction

Chacos have a unique design that gives your arch support and prevents over-pronation. Its biocentric footbed helps to prevent plantar fasciitis and help you have a more effective stride.


How to Adjust the Straps on Chaco Sandals

Chaco Staff Review

I started hiking in my Chaco's somewhere around the Georgia/North Carolina border, less than a few days from the start of the Appalachian Trail. My trail running shoes gave me nothing but blisters, so I switched to hiking in my Z1's. I bought a new pair in Harper's Ferry, WV and hiked those all the way to Mt. Katahdin in Maine.

Who would have thought that a sandal designed for river guides would end up becoming one of the most popular hiking shoes around? The footbed is amazing and all the components are extremely durable. Plus they dry out in minutes, so river crossings or afternoon deluges are no big deal. My Chaco's are my favorite hiking shoes!
