Biocentric footbed Wraparound toe loop to anchor foot Quick drying polyester straps Machine washable American Podiatric Medicine Association's Seal of Acceptance
An exciting variation on the classic features that make Chaco an industry leader in sport sandal design and comfort, the Chaco ZX/2 women's sandal swaps out the classic single strap assembly for the fit advantages of a dual strap model. The parallel, infinitely adjustable, narrow straps adjust independently of one another so if a strap runs over the top of a contour unique to your foot, an adjustment can be made to alleviate any pressure. Underfoot the Chaco ZX/2 sandals hike like air-conditioned hiking boots, thanks to the Vibram Unaweep outsole and BioCentric footbed contour. The Vibram sole offers all-terrain traction in and out of the water while the BioCentric footbed supports the foot in a neutral position for a healthy stride. The split toe design also contributes to the hiking boot comparison, adding an extra element of forefoot control in addition to the standard strap that crosses over the top of the forefoot. The Chaco ZX/2 sandal's polyester webbing feels soft against the skin and the toe loop does not pull straight back like a typical thong. Furthermore, this material dries faster than nylon and maintains a consistent fit if your adventures find you repeatedly going in and out of the water.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Love them! Comment: This is my 4th pair of Chacos. I was having a lot of issues with my feet, so my podiatrist suggested that I try these. My feet feel better than they have in a long time. In fact, since April Chacos are the only shoes that I have worn. Give them a try! Customer Rating: Summary: Not worth the price -PAINFUL! Comment: I purchased these sandals because I wanted arch support with a comfortable and sturdy fit. When I first put them on they felt wonderful. After wearing them for an hour just around the office my feet ached and were beginning to blister. The arches were actually TOO high for my feet which put me off-balance (which is strange since I wear orthotics and am used to high arch support). The straps are fully adjustable to whatever fit you want, however, they continue to adjust while you walk and as a result strangle your foot. My poor big toe turned purple! I kept pulling on the straps as I walked to loosen them but they just would not stay at a comfortable fit. My feet are long and boney so maybe if your feet have more "meat" on them these sandals wouldn't be as painful. I do not recommend them though. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Sandals Comment: I really like these as other reviewers pointed out they are very adjustable durable and easy to clean. Not to mention cute. The picture doesn't do them justice. They were more money then I would normally spend on a pair of shoes but I know that they will hold up for a long time. Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing sandals! Comment: A month or so ago I started searching for a sandal that would be extremely functional and feminine at the same time for our trip to the Middle East. Now having just returned from our three week trip I want to inform you that I am happier about this pair of shoes than any other purchase I can remember. The sandals were my constant companions from the pyramids at Mt Sinai, the high places of Petra, shopping in Jerusalem, on the beaches of Caeserea Maritima, to evening dining at 5 star hotels (yes, with a long pair of slacks they looked strappy and sexy!)
They are incredibly supportive, adjustable, washable and don't even show any signs of wear! Can you tell I am a happy Chaco owner? Customer Rating: Summary: Great Sandal Comment: Secure & comfortable fit! No icky velcro to pick up bits of debris. Order a size up if you are at all on the large side of a whole size. I Love these so much I bought a second pair after realizing the first pair were a tad too small. I did not feel my toes were well protected.
Worth the price especially on sale!
