Customer Reviews Chaco Flip EcoTread™

Great sandal. This is my second pair. Very well made and comfortable.

Men's Chacos for Women - Ever since Chaco changed their shoes for women, it no longer fits my wide feet. So I have to wear a Chaco Men's size 7 which is hard to find. Thank heavens Zappos has a large assortment of sizes. The Men's Chacos fit great, look great on my female feet.

Love these flippers - Chacos are good, Zappos is great. Thank you for the great customer service. I will continue to purchase all of my shoes, boots, and flippers from Zappos.

Wow!!! THE most comfortable flip=flop I've ever tried - I've tried about 5 different "high-end" flips - from Tommy Bahama's, to Ola Kai's, etc. I bought these thinking they can't possibly be as comfortable and boy was I wrong. At half the price of those other flips, there's yet another reason to celebrate them.

Best Flip-Flops ever! These flip-flops are comfortable and super durable. Best choice!

AWESOME!!! Bought these as a surprise gift for my son who is very picky in his clothes and shoes. He loved them! Felt great and looked terrific. Just waiting for the warm weather now!

Great flips - Got these because I was looking for good arch support in a flip-flop, which these definitely have. These aren't the most comfortable flips I've ever worn, but I can tell they will last a long time. I also appreciate that they’re (partially) made from recycled material, which is awesome. My biggest beef is with the strap between your toes -- it seems off center of where it should be (for my feet), causing my foot to fall slightly off the shoe even though it fits on perfectly w/ no strap.

I bought these to replace an older pair. They were exact same pair of Chacos, but unfortunately Chaco now makes things a bit cheaper. Notably, the original sole was a Vibram sole and now it's clearly a cheaper rubber sole; you have pay extra for the Vibram sole. The foot bed and straps appear similar. I'm not sure what the white tag on the inside of the strap is (in the Zappos picture), but it was not on my pair. The older pair held up for 3+ years of a lot of summer use, and I expect these too as well. Overall, a very comfortable sandal. It's just a shame to see made in China sticker instead of the old Chaco made in the USA sticker.

Solid Flop - Great Flip. Very good footbed and the sole is very rigid, which is great. A lot of Flips are made of softer rubber now and I like the solid feel. Some might think that they are too heavy and rigid I suppose. They are not light like the old flip we all know. The only issue is that the straps come back far on the inside and I could see a little need for breaking in or you might bet rub at the back of your arch if no rough spot is built up.

Adequately rugged do-it-all sandal - Wearing sandals year 'round and owning several pairs at a time for different uses, I picked these up as replacements for a pair of Esca beach sandals which lasted me a decade & a half. I needed something close fitting and supportive like an athletic shoe, yet water friendly and grippy on all surfaces wet or dry, wide open for max ventilation, (potentially) five year plus durability, and still be comfortable and good looking. I've only had the Chacos (Bamboo colour scheme) a few days now, but think I've found most, if not all, those qualities in my new EcoTreads - jury's still out on durability (ask me in 5~10 years). As I did, order your athletic shoe size (which will give you the right size footbed (no excess overhang to catch on everything or feel in the way during spirited driving) and expect 'em to feel abnormally tight through the strap for about two days (after that they should be fine). One oddity worth mentioning is that even though they have excellent arch support (sandal or otherwise), the arch support is biased to the inside of the instep running back to the heel area. It's not enough to roll the ankle or change your step/walk in any way, but it does create some discomfort when donning these guys following a dozen mile trail run. Remember that I am critiquing pretty harshly and comparing them to an absolutely awesome pair of sandals they'll have to replace. For the price and what they're capable of, I would highly recommend them.

This is definitely a great flip flop. The fit is snug, which allows you to do many activities in these that you normally couldn’t do in any other flip flop. I've been riding my skateboard with these throughout the summer and they've worked great. Very comfortable, great arch support, and great fit. The only downside for me was it took me a while to break in the sandal because of the new material between my toes, but I find this the case with any new sandal.

COMFORT - The fit was a little snug causing irritation on top of my foot at the thong. This improved after wearing them 6-8 times.

Good sandal - I was looking for a high quality flip and this is a great shoe. Here is some size info that maybe helpful, Chaco has a size chart you can printout from their web site, follow the instructions and if your toe is over any whole size line size up. Normally I take a 9.5 shoe Chaco's chart said 9 (right on the line but not over) and that’s what I got, and they fit very well, however if the straps were any tighter they would be uncomfortable, after just a few days of "break-in" the straps are snug but well fitting. You can walk for a long while in these sandals. This was my first Zappos purchase and it was a good experience.

Excellent shoe - I am very happy with my purchase. Would purchase this product again.

Looks better than it wears! I love Chaco sandals! I purchased these flip flops for my son-in-law's birthday gift from me. He is not pleased with the wear of the shoe. With his high arch he has found there is not enough room between the top of the shoe and the footbed. They continue to rub blisters on his feet. I had noticed he was not wearing them and finally asked how he liked them. He didn't want to tell me at first but I finally got it out of him about them hurting his feet. He said he keeps hoping they will stretch but so far, not.

I love the flip flops! Very durable and comfortable!!! Best I’ve owned!!!

Four years later, I still have well over 80% life in these sandals. That alone should speak to durability and comfort as a go-to shoe for so many years. I actually recently purchased another pair as my "nice ones," and let these stay muddy.

Perfect fit, and as always, incredibly fast shipping.

I bought these for my husband. A bunch of the reviews recommended buying a size up so I originally did that but they ended up being way too big. Once I switched for his regular size they fit perfectly. He has very narrow and skinny feet so I think that maybe men with wider larger feet may want to order a size up but skinny/narrow feet will be true to size.

Great flips! I have owned 2 pair of chaco sandals for years and loved them, so when looking for new flips, I came back to Chaco to see what they had. I wear these every day! Love them

My previous Chaco flops lasted 13 years. I made many memories wearing them. These flops have amazing arch support. Very durable! Hopefully this pair will also last 13 years.

Seems like a couple of years ago Chaco started making flips that weren’t as wide as they’d always been. I’ve had several pairs over the last few years but wasn’t able to wear the “skinny” ones that were offered the last couple of years. The wide sizes weren’t available either. So this year I tried them again and they are fine. It isn’t that I have really wide feet, just a normal D width. And these fit great! Love the brand, and for flips they actually offer a little support. Try ‘em you’ll like them!

Chaco's---- still the best flips ever!!!!

I have duck feet. Wide, with bunions, and now plantar fasciitis. Oh yeah. So I wanted a pair of good flip-flops with arch support for the summer. These are it. Worth the money. I would definitely go up a size if you are unsure. I ordered two sizes just to be safe, and yep, the larger one fit. (FYI: I am wearing a men's size 8 wide width in these. I usually wear a size 40 reg width birkenstock.)

Hits all the right notes. Good arch support (for a sandal), stays secure to my foot, no heel-clapping, excellent grip both foot-on-sandal and sandal-on-ground (including in water), lightweight, durable, and floats in water.
