Customer Reviews Chaco Flip EcoTread™

My husband adores these flip flops. This is his second pair. The originals are several years old but he won't part with them. He wants to keep them to wear around the house and in the yard. He will get many more years of wear out of the new ones!

These are great flip flops. I had a similar pair for years, but eventually one of the straps came unglued so I ordered these. This time I ordered one size larger and they fit very nicely. So the answers below about size assumes you order your size and not a size larger.

These are not as wide as they say. Plus, the way these flip-flops are designed, my heel lands on the outer ridge at the back and not in the middle of them. That is very uncomfortable. They are very heavy, too.

Ordered these Chaco Flip Ecotreads for my husband. I ordered the wrong size at first, but I had no trouble returning them. I used the free shipping label provided by Zappos and ordered another pair of Chacos in the correct size. Zappos kept me informed of the status of my return until a refund was credited back to my account. Now, about the Chaco's...best shoes EVER according to my husband. These shoes go from wet to dry and back easily without stretching out or fading. The soles are no slip and have a bit of an arch to them providing comfort. My husband wears these Chaco Flip Ecotreads all the time and will not wear any other type of flip! Thanks Zappos for having them!

These flip-flops are amazing! I had the last pair for over 5 years of regular use and they are some of the most comfortable shoes of any type I have ever worn. The soles are very firm with a high arch support which makes them good for standing all day or walking for miles. I've walked 10 mile days in these no problem.

I really love these flippies! I have 2 pairs of the Eco Treads and they are super comfortable and durable. They fit my size 13 foot true to size and width. The strapping is comfortable and barely noticeable.

If you are looking for a cheap flimsy flip of poor quality look in another direction. The size 10 I ordered was a correct fit. And you can beat Zappos customer service in all areas. I have purchased at least 10 pairs of footwear without a single problem. The one return was the easiest return ever.

I really like these flip flops. I have not bought a new pair of flip flops in probably ten years now, but I wish I had a long time ago. These are great. Very comfortable.

Most comfortable flop I've ever worn, hands down. I've been wearing Chaco flops almost daily for the last few years. I used to wear the models with leather thong and leather footbed, but I recently switched to the 'Flip'.

Best sandals I've ever had. I used to go through a pair of flip flops a year. I trekked all throughout Asia in a pair of these, and they lasted for about 4 years of everyday wear and tear. I bought these as my replacement pair for the old ones that finally gave out and expect these to go much further. Oh the places we will go...

Takes some serious break-in time (and blisters!). But after that, it's smooth sailing in one of the comfiest sandals I've ever worn. Also, Zappos upgraded to next-day delivery.

I love this web site! My Chaco' are awesome and they showed up the next day. I highly recommend choosing this web site for ordering any type of shoes. Thanks, Zappos!

A note on "Excellent arch support": for a flip flop that is. In absolute terms, it's ok arch support, but unparalled in flip flops. You might feel 60 bucks is steep for flip flops. True. however, the value is great. Good ergonomics, Vibram sole and rugged build. Plus they are pretty sleek. Understated and elegant on your foot. My first pair just gave up the ghost. It lasted 7 years of heavy usage. That's right 7... It went with me on every adventure in the last 7 years. I hiked into the Yucatan rain forest, Bali, wore them at Burning Man, boating, climbing, riding bikes, on the beach, at home, in the streets of Paris and LA... The only thing I haven't done while wearing my Chacos is have sex. Actually I might be wrong on that. Well you get my point. Once I broke them in, they became part of my life and have enabled be to have almost the performance of a closing sandal, with the ease of use of a flip flop. If you wear flip flops often, you will appreciate these.

I love these flip flops. These are my second pair of Chaccos and I love the way they feel. I usually wear an 11 but I get a 12 because they are so much more comfortable.

I've been wearing the Chaco flip flops for over ten years. I'm still quite satisfied! They feel great on your feet and have nice traction. Would never even think about switching brands! They are a must if you are a flip flop kind of person!

Love them. They seem very durable as would be expected from Chaco. They have a relatively snug fit, not a loose flip flop, but that makes them great for slightly more athletic endeavors. True to size.

Great summer staple!

Love these Chaco flip flops. They provide much more support for your foot than many other brands, which is important for me as I wear flip flops daily in Florida year round. They are not as comfortable as one other style I have from Chaco (Waypoint Cloud), but that style has now been discontinued so I'll be wearing my Flip EcoTreads more. I'm a girl and buy them in the men style because they don't make women's in my size (women's size 13). The regular width is wide enough for my wide foot. If you are male with a wide foot, you should probably do the wide size.

I have high arches, and wide feet. Furthermore, I had surgery on my foot so I need a sandal that gives arch support. The sandal helps with the support however I have had 2 blowouts on my last 2 left sandals. Is there a defect or is this just a coincidence? Either way, I just purchased my 3rd pair so I must like them! These are pricey but worth it!

As a person with flat feet, these were a great find. They provide a good amount of support. I would have liked something that I could wear for longer period of time, but these don't meet that need comfort wise.

I was looking for a flip flop that had some arch support and felt more comfortable than your everyday flip flop. Reading the reviews this looked like the one I was looking for. But after wearing them for 2-3 days they just feel like your average $5-$10 flip flop from Old Navy. Nothing special, good sandal but not worth the $40 price tag. I’ll keep em, but still look for something better.

I bought men's because the women's did not come in a wide size. I probably should have gone down a size, the ones I have are too big.

I bought these for my husband. He has very wide feet. We are long time Chaco fans, as they are great arch support and can be worn for hours with comfort. They move from water , to terrain, to dinner, seamlessly. These are a great casual flip, with great arch support, that will last for years. Thanks Zappos for stocking them in wide.

Really sturdy flip-flop and the style is nice... The only gripe is that I find the foot bed to be a bit slippery. Maybe I just need to wear them more.... Like all chacos they might take time to adjust.

It takes a few wearings to break them in, got a small sore spot between toes where the strap goes, also on the top where the strap splits to go to either side. Took maybe 5 wearings to break in. Since I got these predominately to wear in water, it seems the water helped the break in process. These stay on your feet as though they were glued on, while working in the water up at Lees Ferry and down at Pearce Ferry loading and unloading large river boats. Now I know why all the river guides wear Chacos!
