Everyone needs to own a pair of these. Flip flops with arch support and that cradle the heel. Comfortable for wearing every day, all day, while on your feet. Definitely worth the money. They\'ll smoke piles of those $10 crappy flip flops out of the water.

When Spring and Summer roll around in DC, I am constantly wearing flip flops. These have proved to be very durable and quite comfortable.

This is Chace all the way. If you have never tried a Chaco sandal on then you may think they are uncomfortable at first. The footpad area is rough and the straps are tight, but they break in great. Don't buy these expecting a soft comforting Birkenstock. These are rugged well fitting sandals!

I’ve been wearing these flips for about 4-5 years now, and imo, they’re the best, most sturdy and comfortable flips on the market. They last ages beyond other flip-flops and they have great arch support. My one complaint is that it seems recently they have changed their sizing – I’ve been a 14 in these since I started wearing them. I recently ordered a pair - sz 14 - and they were WAY too small. Thankfully Zappos has a relatively painless return policy, and they were switched out quickly. I just hope Chaco doesn’t do this again or I’ll be out of luck as I’m in their biggest size.

I have plantar fasciitis and was looking for a sandal with good arch support. I read the other reviews for this shoe and some people had the same problem and swore by this sandal for painful feet. I have to say that I agree. I will never wear any other brand again now that I have found these.

I own 6 pairs of these which I've purchased over 3-4 years. They are the only flip that stays on, provides great arch support and doesn't wear out quickly. The vibram sole is key - and true to its reputation - it lasts and lasts. Look at your hiking boots - chances are they’ve got a vibram sole. I regularly put these in my front load washer (no spin) and they come out looking brand new. They don't stretch or fade. My least favorite are the leather ones. Although extremely comfortable, the footbed is very smooth so my foot slides around a lot. The regular flip has a slightly textured foot bed which helps keep the foot in place.

These are the second pair of Chaco Flips that I’ve owned. The first pair are about three years old and are still going strong, but I wanted to get a new pair for the summer season. These flipflops are just comfortable. Great arch support and fit snugly to your foot.

Good flip -
This is my 2nd flip. 1st was the leather one which is the best flip I have ever owned and wear them often. That was kinda loose and leather was both smooth & slippery, yet I love them. This one has a rubber bed that is very comfortable, and the straps are much tighter, so the flip really stays put on your foot. I have plantar fasciitis so these have great arch supports for any of you who wear orthotic supports in your shoes.

The best sandal for your feet!!! My podiatrist recommended Chacos to me and they are the miracle I've been waiting for for my feet. Ahhhh...so comfortable. It's winter weather here and I'm still wearing them! I'm buying them for everyone in my family this Christmas. Try them...you'll love them.

Five star shoes - I've only had these shoes for a few weeks, but so far they are great. They are comfortable so my feet are happy. I've had many pairs of flip flops in the past that were cheaply made and didn't last but a few months. I think this pair will give me my money's worth. I also want to say the customer service of Zappos is A+. Thanks!

Great flip flop - My boyfriend and I both bought these Chacos a few weeks ago. These are my second pair of flip flops from Chaco. My boyfriend was always impressed with how durable my old pair were (over 3 years!) so he decided to get himself a pair. He thinks they are perfectly comfortable. I thought I was going to need more break-in time since my old pair did, but these were comfortable from the start. They still have the same great arch support, and are very cute. I will continue to buy these for the environmentally friendly recycled tread, as well as for their durability and style.

As a longtime wearer of orthotics, flip flops haven't been an option. Even going barefoot was not a comfortable option except on the beach. So, when I discovered the Chaco Flip, with its excellent support and fit, I was amazed! I now own two pair and wear them all day in comfort. You can even throw them in the washing machine and they are so well constructed it is like pulling a new pair from the wash! Thank you Chaco for a great product and thank you Zappos for being the greatest shoe store on earth!

These are my favorite flip flops on the market. They support my arches and are the most comfortable shoe. I can't live without them.

Great for the beach or poolside! Bought these for my husband to replace his conventional poolside/beach flip flops. Theses are much more sturdier and durable. He wears these whenever he is going to get his feet wet, like washing the car, etc. He wears a 9.5 for running shoes but I ordered the 10s, which fit just fine.

Great Flip -
I told myself I would never wear flip-flops again before these. After owning a pair of Chaco's sandals, I decided to give these a try. The cloth piece between the toes does not force them apart like cheap others do. The arch support is excellent. Other reviews complain that the straps are too tight; I'd say they are a bit loose. If you are considering them, buy them now while there is still some summer left.

Full-size smaller than marked. I had a pair of Chaco sandals for the past 5 years. They've been great, super durable, well constructed and comfortable. One of the double nylon toe straps finally gave way this year. Still wearable and I ordered a new pair. My heels have been cracking when wearing the 14s so I went up to a 15 thinking it would fit better and the foot bed would be larger. Unfortunately, the 15s were only a 1/4 or so larger than the 14s and really not true sizing. Too bad because the first pair was bullet-proof and well worth the price.

I bought these for my husband as a Father's Day gift. He really likes the arch support and they are comfortable despite his bone-spur (caused by skate-boarding!). The arch support is fantastic for such a slim and lightweight shoe. The straps started out very tight on his normal width foot, but are gradually being broken in.

I bought these because a friend told me they were a lot more comfortable than Crocs. I guess he has never worn Crocs. They are not bad in the comfort area, just not as comfortable as Crocs. They are ten times better looking than Crocs. They have medium arch support. The toe hinge is thick, so it takes getting used to. The overall feel of these flip-flops is very high quality. I like them!

My doctor said not to wear sandals or go barefoot because of plantar fasciitis. But these sandals fit great and a comfortable to wear. Note: the bottoms are very smooth and have absolutely no traction. They are extremely slippery on smooth and wet surfaces! Great for indoors; but not practical for outdoors. Rating downgraded because of this defect.

The fit of these flip flops is very strange. While the footbed seemed to fit perfectly, the straps on top fit like they were a whole size small, and were so tight they were painful. I ordered a full size larger, and the footbed was a little larger but the straps still were too tight. I have very flat feet so I have returned both pairs and am ordering the wide version; hopefully that works out. Bummer they only come in the green and black.

These are great flip flops but patience is needed. They may not provide out of the box comfort and do take a while to break in but the payoff is huge. I have had mine for three years and will probably get two more out of them. I hike in them with my 30 lb son in a backpack carrier. They're solid. Love 'em.

All the Chaco quality in a flip flop. :) They are much lighter than in previous years and the sole is still strong and durable. I took them down a rock bottom river (didn't mean to just happened) and I was able to kick off of rocks and trees without hurting my feet.

Pretty solid flip flops, don't seem to really have any wear yet, and I wear them a lot. Definitely supportive, although they could be a bit softer.

First time flip buyer. Very sturdy and lasting, well made, feel firm, tread is grippy, contoured to shape of foot with a crosshatched pattern on footbed so your feet don't slide around, soft nylon between toes is comfortable. Would love to see this less bulky footbed/sole on Chaco's sandals. Very pleased. Thanks.
