Chaco Men's Zcloud 2 Athletic Sandals

I received size 11 in women's a while back. That's the size I usually wear in a shoe. I was told they run big. So when I finally ordered a new pair, I sized down to 10. It is a perfect fit! I have wide feet and some pretty bad bunions, so having a shoe that fits right is very important. They're also extremely supportive and very supportive. In fact, my orthopedic surgeon loves that I wear chacos! If ever my feet hurt, I put these on and wear them for a bit and the pain is gone! I didn't even have to break these in. A fantastic choice!

I am a size 10/11 in women's with a wider foot. I have terrible arch support, so I love chacos for the comfort and support they offer. I've owned many chacos in my lifetime, but these are probably the ones that have fit my foot best - because they are WIDER than womens. I recently placed an order for 3 different pairs. This one (mens size 9 normal width), a women's size 11 (normal width), and a women's 10 (wide width). After walking around my kitchen for a while, these are the ones I decided were best for my feet for offering the most comfort and support.

This was the third pair of Chaco sandals I had purchased. They are my summer shoe as they have complete arch support, and put spring in my step. The thick rubber sole gives me energy with every walk even through the cobblestone streets of Sevilla Spain, and southern Portugal. I had my first pair resoled and it was well worth it. I have owned Teva, Merrell, Keen, and even Mephisto, but these are the best shoes I have ever owned. I also have Chaco hiking boots, and a pair of Chaco shoes. I am a wildlife biologist and live in my shoes, and I use the sandals in the field crossing creeks and climbing rocks all the time. they are perfect for grunnion greeting on the beach at night too.

Great leisure sandals

I have a weird foot, ankles overpronate, a lot. These sandals fit. My Left big toe impinges, crosses over on top of my second toe at about a 20-30 degree angle. Has been like this for years. It is painful at the base of the second toe. Nerve pain comes and goes when sitting or lying down, several times during the day and at night for about 5-10 minutes at a time. I've learned to live with the pain, maybe 3 1/2 on a scale of ten. Conventional wisdom advises to avoid foot surgery unless it is the only option. I got the bright idea that toe loop sandals might be of some help. I also purchased some Japanese Ninja toe socks. When I opened the box I wondered how they would fit. Instructions show you how to loosen all the straps. The straps are movable, there is space for straps to slide inside the shoe making them fully adjustable. Like all sandals of this type they are designed so that the toe loop goes around the base of the big toe, perfect position for someone with a normal big toe. For me, it would be ideal if the toe strap was maybe 3/8 inch further up the toe so the straps would exert greater lateral leverage, when tightened; would fully separate my big toe away from number 2. Tugging on the straps, tighten here, loosen there, I was able to get the sandals to fit perfectly. the more I tighten the toe loop strap, the more it pulls the big toe away towards being straight. I need it to be as tight as I can get it. I found a "sweet spot" where it is just enough without being uncomfortable. With Ninja socks and everything properly adjusted, the angle of my toe is 5-7 degrees. This moves my toe so instead of being crossed over on top of toe 2, it brushes against the side of the other toe. Doesn't sound like much, but it makes all the difference. Wow! after all these years--relief. I had this same idea about 5 years ago, but didn't follow through. I have diabetic feet and some ugly, gnarly toes that I would be too embarrased to wear regular flip flops exposing my feet to public scrutiny. With the Ninja socks, and the toe loop, it all looks quite normal. Great for shopping day in summer heat. I'm retired and so far just wearing these sandals around the house to break in. I have flat feet, no arch, but these feel pretty comfortable right out of the box. They are size 12 and looks like they're true to size, certainly not too small. Will update if any problems arise. In spite of my foot problems, I feel no pain when walking while wearing regular shoes. My feet work pretty well and in spite of appearance the only problem is what I've described. It seems now as if all my problems have been solved so I can just enjoy the improvement not having to think about my feet: like-normal. Walter O.

Repeat buyer year after year. As kiddos feet slow down we are getting longer stretches between purchases. Realistically if you wear these regularly and for serious outdoor activities like us, you can stretch about 2 years out of a pair. For the price, that’s a deal. Family of 8 with an addiction to outdoors and water sports. These are a must.

I have been a very active outdoors/wilderness person for my adult life (now 66 y.o.), including water activities such as river rafting and ocean kayaking. I started off wearing Teva sandals, and was reasonably pleased with them for years. When they stopped making the style I favored, I tried Chaco, and have loved and been using them ever since. Great fit, durability and functionality, as well as unsurpassed customer service. Though I enjoyed the easy on, easy off of the original Z/1, for uneven terrain, boulder hopping, lava walking (I live on the Big Island of Hawaii...plenty lava walking/hopping 🙂) I found having the toe secured is MUCH safer and sure, as the sole lifts up almost immediately like a covered shoe with each step, while the open toed Z/1 allows a bit more of a "gap" between toes and sole when lifting foot up and stepping forward; not a good thing when on uneven terrain and walking through water with the added weight of water to move through. Once the sandal is broken in and you get used to the little extra move to get toe strap situated perfectly, it is really only a matter of a few extra seconds to secure and go compared to the open toe. If you're going to be primarily on even terrain, open toe Z/1 works perfectly fine.

Why in the multiverse this seller will not fix the category of their item, who can know? But these are women's sizing and the way the straps work, are infinitely adjustable! I love my chacos after years of hearing about them. They are often priced ridiculously high. My size was deeply discounted on this listing and I'm happy I took the risk.

It is very comfortable sandals.

Updated review: 1 year on and these sandals are end-of-life! Not what I expected after reading all the glowing reviews. I have walked well under 1000km and the sole has split and can't be repaired in Australia. This is far less life than I've had from Keens. Very comfortable while they lasted.

Habituellement je porte des 10-101/2 mais pour c’est sandales il me faut du 9US. Agréable à porter car bon soutien du pied.

Very disappointing. Got this in Jan this year. Worn frequently in urban setting, nothing hardcore. 11 months in and I realised the sandals is splitting badly on the sole and midsole. I have been wearing Chacos for 20 over years and this is the final pair. Am done with what used to be a great brand with awesome products. Their product quality has been in the decline after they stopped using Vibram for their outer soles. Bring back Vibram! Your inhouse outsole sucks! Even the footbed is showing severe signs of wear and tear. Chacos used to last for ages, tough, sleek, functional and good-looking. Sadly, that is no longer the case today.
