Chaco Women's Zvolv X2 Sandal

Lightweight with decent arch support; these do need a gradual breaking in however. The straps can be adjusted for better fit and comfort, though wide feet may find them too narrow. They are true to size BUT as others have mentioned they are listed incorrectly. These are women’s sandals so order your normal size. I have included a photo for proof.Chacos have been recommended for lasting a long time so I intend to get my use out of them. They’re stylish enough to wear with almost anything and great for travel.

First off, these fit perfectly. They are cute and comfortable, so far. I am a new Chaco purchaser so am excited to see how the comfort is throughout my work day. I have a very difficult time finding shoes that fit, I have flat skinny feet, I mean really skinny. Most sandals or heels I buy, my feet end up slipping out of! Even with an ankle strap. Has been super frustrating my whole life. The discription said these were adjustable, well that was an understatement! The straps slip through the sole allowing you to adjust the toe loop, the criss-cross straps and the ankle strap. For once my feet are securely in place and they are super cute! Note, because of my aforementioned skinny flat feet, the strap is all the way to the buckle, this left a long piece of strap dangling on the ground. Solution, I folded the strap and used a small rubber band to secure (see photo). Problem solved. If these continue to provide comfort, I WILL be buying more.

This new Chaco is really better than ever!My first pair of Chaco was purchased in 2000. That original pair was superb! The sandals lasted 10 years with moderate use,and still looked new. No wear to sole. Those sandals were worn on hikes, for a national forest service job, and then in the summer, in the ocean, etc...So...well worn....Why am I saying this? B/c after 10 years, the shoe delaminated due to my negilegence (sandals left for months in the trunk of my hot car)...So in 2010 I had to buy a new pair, and did. At that point, Chacos were no longer made in the U.S.A. but China, and my new pair felt nothing like the original. I did buy a toe strap pair that could not be adjusted. In disgust, I threw them away after a few months and blisters in the trash. Fast forward today...I decided to give them another go now that Chaco had a new sole that was not a Vibram sole (much lighter I heard)....plus I was tired of wearing muddy sneakers on my hikes... I was planning on trying this new pair on, and returning them if they didn't work out....I can tell you how pleasantly surprised I was! The new sandals more than deliver...1. New sole is much much lighter than Vibram sole....allowing me to wear them all day right out of the box.2. No break in period.3. Straps adjusted right away for me. It took me only a few minutes to find the perfect fit.4. Worn all day long and my foot felt great!5. I have an injury that hasn't completely healed (I broke my ankle 6 months ago), but these sandals really made it possible torun around and hike all day long w/out discomfort by the end of the day. This is huge for me!6. The only slightly annoying issue is the strap. It hangs a bit in the back. I just folded it under the strap. I may have someone with a good sewing machine shorten it for me. Otherwise, these sandals are perfect. Now, lets see if this pair lasts me 10 years.So there you have it, I'm a believer in Chacos once again, and can now recommend them. I still wish they were made in the U.S., and maybe they will be again.

The media could not be loaded. I wore these shoes for an entire week hiking and swimming all around Tahiti. They fit comfortably and true to size. They stood up to climbing mountains, swimming in caves, walking on the rocky beaches and more. Definitely will be my go to outdoor shoe from now on.

Coming from a pair of Chaco ZX2's with Vibram soles that I wore out over the course of 7 years, these are great! The level of quality and comfort I expect from Chaco. They are a little bit squishy compared to classic Chacos, which provides for good comfort but I'm not sure about durability - time will tell. It feels like maybe the arch support is not as high, but I think that could be just the difference between forgiving vs. unforgiving material. I like that they are lighter and thinner. I do not have a complaint about the texture of the footbed that others have mentioned causing them pain. My guess is that if you can handle the waffle footbed of the original Chaco - which some cannot, all our feet are different - you can probably handle this. These do run a little smaller than the classic - the 9 fits me perfectly, whereas the 9 in classic was a little big for me. As for the styling, I got rave reviews from coworkers the first time I wore them in public, with the Celtic Azurite webbing. So pretty! Some recommendations for common complaints: 1. Adjust the heck out of them, that's the whole point of having Chacos. 2. If the footbed hurts at first, try powering through it (indoors!). Your feet may adjust - mine did. 3. The end of the strap dangles down to the ground if you don't have wide feet. Tuck it up and under the strap behind the buckle but in front of the heel riser, then back down under itself on the outside, to make a little flat loose knot. It will stay in place.

These are my favorite chacos I have owned yet! The bottom is more flexible than the last few pairs I have had. They are comfortable and we're easy to break in. I ordered my true size of a womens 10 and they were perfect.
