Description

Chaco Sandals: Men's Z/2 Sandal - Altrec.com Product Description:

Canyoneering, trail running, and approaches to climbs often involve precise foot placement and a desire to feel the terrain underfoot. The Chaco Z/2 sandal provides this added level of performance with a toe loop strap configuration that wraps around the big toe as tightly or loosely as desired. A strap still wraps over the entire forefoot but the addition of a toe loop gives the user that extra measure of control. The Chaco Z/2 men's sandal comes equipped with a Vibram® Unaweep sole, capitalizing on Vibram's industry leading ability to build durable, high traction outsoles for hiking footwear worldwide. Of the many features that make all Chaco performance sandals, not just the Chaco Z/2's, the gold standard for outdoor professionals, the BioCentric™ footbed contour is among the most special. Carrying the seal of acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association, this supportive underfoot platform encourages the foot to roll through the stride in a neutral position, keeping pronation to a healthy minimum. The Chaco Z/2 sandal's BioCentric™ footbed also offers a sculpted heel cup that stabilizes the heel and concentrates the fatty pad in the heel to aid its inherent natural cushioning ability.

  • Soft polyester webbing with toe loop configuration dries faster than nylon and maintains a consistent fit in all conditions
  • Strap Width: 19mm
  • Infinitely adjustable pull through strap system anchors at one buckle point
  • BioCentric™ footbed contour carries the seal of acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association
  • Sculpted heel cup provides stability and promotes natural heel cushioning
  • Reformulated polyurethane midsole reduces sandal weight to 20% below the previous model
  • Durable Vibram® Unaweep outsole for all-terrain traction in and out of the water
  • All Chaco® sandals can be resoled, reducing stress on the environment
  • Weight: size 9 29 oz. (822 g.)

Was this Chaco Sandals Z/2 Sandal Review Helpful? - Yes - No

Best sandal I have found. I wear sandals 24/7 (unless I am barefoot) and day-hike 3-4 miles everyday in them. I have owned Nike, Teva, and Merrell. I was reluctant for years to fork out almost a $100 for sandals, but after getting fed up with these other brands, I have never regretted the purchase (I now buy them on sale when I can). I wear Chacos (model Z/2) exclusively now for the past two+ years and there is no other brand I would even consider for sandals.

Is this Handy? - Yes - No ( 4 of 4 found this review helpful.)

Z/2 (Z/1 Convertible) I didn't buy the Chacos from Altrec; however, since they're the best pair of sandals that I've ever used, I HAD to rave about them. Their contoured foot bed is amazing and their construction is absolutely durable. I've been to Ecuador, Argentina, and use them everyday during the summer here in Lubbock, TX and they've served me well. My main point, is about their "convertibility." If you're deciding on whether you should get the Z/1 or z/2, may I suggest the Z/2. Why? Because, if you strap down the toe completely, basically tighten to the point where there isn't a place to insert your toe. You "basically" have the Z/1. It's awesome! Now, I'm not sure where the Z/1 positions their straps, but I can't imagine them being that far off from where the Z/2 places theirs. At first, I thought the toe loop to be uncomfortable to walk around in although it does hold your foot in better when you're in white-water; however, for walking about town, it just felt like too much pressure strapped around my toe. So, now I cinch my Chaco's down all the way and voila! comfort city for walking, and can be used for white water again when the need arises. Mind you though that the strap that is now under my toe "can" be annoying, but if you're not totally Obsessive compulsive about it, you'll be ok. My straps also need shortening now (but they needed them before anyway) so I'm going to find out if I can get them altered locally. Sure, I could send them in to Chaco; however, $20 to get a simple strap adjusted is just too much for me since I got them for half price... Happy trekking.

Is this Useful? - Yes - No ( 2 of 2 thought this was useful.)
