The Chaco Z/2 Performance Sandal is comfortable even for those who cannot tolerate anything except mud or sand between their toes. The Z/2 features a wrap-around toe loop for total forefoot control, making it ideal for more demanding activities including canyoneering, trail running and approach hiking.
The Z/2's continuous strap design wraps your foot better than any other sandal and holds it centered on the footbed no matter what activity you do. Once you try a pair of Chacos you will swear off any other sandal. provide a level of comfort and performance seldom found in sport sandals. Chaco's infinitely-adjustable, pull-through strap system and a single buckle hold your feet securely in all kinds of conditions.
To create the Uniweep sole, Chaco combined the most intelligent features from their previous Colorado and Terreno soles. With Vibram® durability, the Unaweep outsole is a great combination of slip resistance, traction and light weight. The lug pattern and spacing makes this sole virtually self-cleaning.

Comments about Chaco Sandals Z/2 Unaweep Performance Sandals (Men's) - Spring:
I bought these sandals as a graduation gift last month for my boyfriend and he wears them ALL the time. They are a bit on the heavy side, but they are also really comfortable and durable. He says they support his feet great. The only really problem he's had is when he first started wearing them, if they got wet, they would rub parts of his foot. But now that he's worn them a bit more and his feet have toughened up, he doesn't have that problem. They look good and he says they feel good. So all in all, a great investment.

Used for hiking and kayaking, the sandals are great for both. It takes a bit of time to get used to the strap system and to get your feet used to hiking around in them. Give yourself a couple of light hikes to adjust before you set out for long trails and you should be fine.

These are great sandals that will perform no matter the situation. I was very weary of spending the bucks for them at first but they are worth every penny. Whether in the canoe or on the trail they'll stay on your feet and give you complete control (toe loop does wonders if you can live with it). THE all-around sandal to get if you want something that you can handle any adventure.

I looked at these for a couple of years before I got a pair because I'm basically cheap and don't like to spend money. Now I encourage everyone to get a pair. Here in the Southeast I wear mine almost all year long. If I'm not a work I'm wearing them. My wife makes fun of me because my feet wear their "chaco tan lines" all year. I'm very hard on gear and these show no signs of wear after three years. Play hard and then throw them in the washer and you're ready to go again.

These shoes are amazing. I would wear them every day if I could. I prefer these over the Z1s (without the toe strap) because they provide more support, and if needed I can pull the toe strap down and go without.

I gave these shoes as a gift to my boyfriend this summer. He loved them to say the least! It's been about six months now and these are his daily shoes whether we are going to class, taking the dog out, anything he prefers to have his Chacos on his feet. They quickly adjusted to his foot after wearing and they look good with quite a lot surprisingly.

Comments about Chaco Sandals Z/2 Unaweep Performance Sandals (Men's) - Spring:
The only issue with these sandals is that, having a very narrow, "low volume" foot, the straps were a bit too long. However, Chaco will shorten the straps free of charge.
That said, I put in 41 miles in under 48 hours wearing these, with a 45lb pack on, on trails that spanned a mile of vertical for those 7 miles. And this was to break them in! The only area they caused discomfort was under my lateral ankle bone, where the strap hub rubbed against the tendons, and most of this was due to uneven trails designed to shed water causing my foot to land at an angle.
They still look good as new, the tread is barely worn in, my feet (even my arches) were feeling fine, and the straps are soft enough to not cause blisters, even when lighter trails turned my Tevas into a meatgrinder, in similar conditions.
I had 3 river crossings and numerous stream crossings, as well, and they dried quickly and stuck well on the wet rocks.

Comments about Chaco Sandals Z/2 Unaweep Performance Sandals (Men's) - Spring:
i use these sandals mostly for approaches to the crags and daily commuting, both stylish in a roman sandal type of way and practical in a hiker way. the toe loop can be pulled through the sole to make it a Z/1 and i do this during the winter months so that i can put socks on with the sandals. overall, a brilliant sandal

Comments about Chaco Sandals Z/2 Unaweep Performance Sandals (Men's) - Spring:
The Chacos are very comfortable. After walking in flip flops or other snadals, my feet start to hurt. Chacos are so comfortable and have so much support that my feet never hurt in them. The loss of a star is becuase the strap used to tighten the other straps is too long and goes under my foot and can be very annoying. They take a little time to adjust to your foot size, but once you get it right the fit is great. Superb product.

These are my favorite summer shoes. After wearing out my previous pair (beyond Chacos excellent repair program), I purchased this pair. I was a little leery about the toe loop. It was not a problem and actually gives better control on slippery surfaces. The only negative was that the strap was too long. I sent them back to Chacos and they repaired them for free with a surprisingly fast turn-around. Highly recommended for any summer outdoor activities. Better than any Teva I have owned.

If I'm not wearing my combat boots I'm wearing Chacos. There's never any doubt about being sure footed and comfortable while wearing them. I've been wearing Chacos for 11 years and counting. I'll never wear any other sandal.

While I generally prefer the Chaco Z/1 for daily street wear, I pull out the Z/2 whenever I'm headed out to a local creek or blue hole. The strap on the toe keeps your foot solidly in place when you're splashing around in the creek, and the Unaweep sole gives the sandals excellent traction on slippery rocks. I love my Chacos!

My Chaco's have seen miles of trails for over five years and they are still extremely supportive and comfortable. Everyone should have a pair of chacos.
