Customer Reviews Chaco ZX/1® Classic

I have extremely wide feet (like Flintstones!) and normally wear a 7.5 D width running shoe. I bought a size 7 and they are PERFECT! They are already wide enough for my feet and the straps adjust (loosen/tighten) as needed. A size 8 was way too big. My first pair of Chacos lasted three years...I love these shoes!

Wowowow these are comfy & I'm so glad it's getting into Teva season! This was my first pair of Tevas, so I ordered 2 pairs so I could try them on and see which fit best: in 6 & 7. I typically wear a 7-7 1/2 (sometimes 6 1/2, but rarely). I have a slightly wide feet. The 6 was a smidge too small for me, and I definitely could not have worn them with socks (I know, so cool). The 7 fit the best, and the arch hit the arch of my actual foot in a better spot. Seriously, if you plan on hiking/walking a lot in the spring/summer, get yourself a pair of these!!

I LOVE these sandals! I have wide feet, normally an 8.5, so I sized up to a 9c/d and they are perfect. It also helps that I can adjust the straps to fit my foot no matter the weather (swelling in heat, etc). Great for beach walks, touring the city, and running errands. I have this pair and another with the 'toe noose' and I MUCH prefer these for most activities. The noose is just too restrictive for me, probably best saved for river trips.

I recently bought these to replace a pair of Chaco's I've worn for the last 13 years. They have a good archive support and are great for walking. This time around I ordered them in a wide width which is perfect for my wide feet. I highly recommend them, they're the only sandals I own.

I bought these for my trip to Thailand last February (it's been a while for me to do the review, sorry). These have AMAZING arch support. I have plantar fasciitis on one foot and achilles tendinitis on the other. I usually have to wear vionics or my sneakers with my arch support. These were PERFECT for long days. I also loved these for hopping off an on longtailed boats, hiking (yes, for real), chilling in the river with elephants (sorry, humble brag) and just about town. I wore these for almost 3 weeks straight. The reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because you DO have to wear them in. The grid on the bottom is excellent for getting the water to run right off, but it can also cause blisters on feet not used to walking on them for long periods of time. Additionally, you need to practice taking them off an on. I was unwise and did neither. I held up the line going in and out of temples (SORRY!) because I struggled with getting them off and on, and I had to wear blister band-aids for the first week due to sweaty feet and tons of walking. However, they are now my favorite sandal. I like them without the toe loop because I could never get the toe loop right. Also, taking them off and on is now easy. I think "Outside - Loosen (both have O's in them) and Inside - Tighten (both have I's in them)" so I know which side to pull on when I need an adjustment. They are a bit narrow though and I usually am a medium width with no problem. I'm actually debating a pair in a wider width just to see. Overall - a well made and versatile shoe. They are perfect!

I needed a pair of water sandals for an upcoming hiking trip. For nerd shoes, these are actually MUCH better looking than I expected. I do have flat feet, and the arch support was physically painful for me, which is not something I've experienced with Teva nerd sandals.

zx/1 classic sandals are the more comfortable line of chacos for me. my daughter stole mine so i had to get a second pair.

Purchased these to replace a pair of size 7 ZX/2 Chacos that had completely worn through the soles after 4-5 seasons of near constant use (mailed that pair to ReChaco repairs but they were beyond fixing). I’m usually a size 7.5. Took a chance on the size 8 because size 7 wasn’t available. The width is fine but the shoe is about 1/2 inch too long so I’m returning. Will order size 7 if it becomes available.

This is first pair of this style of Chaco. They are comfortable and with the adjustable straps they fit perfect. Can't wait for the summer to some so I can wear them. I wish they made a thong version of this sandal.

This is a great shoe especially if you are doing an amusement park where it might rain at any time. The arch support is good, the style is fashion forward. You are comfy but looking good!

Item was perfect. I’ve worn Chaco before and it’s great. Service by Zappos is the best!

Very comfortable sandal with great support. Easy to adjust which will allow for swelling of feet while hiking or warm weather.

This is my first pair of Chacos that I am planning on wearing them for an outdoorsy, tropical vacation. They fit true to size - I wear a size 8.5 and the 8 fit perfectly. The straps are adjustable and allow a customizable fit. The arch support is great, but does take some time to break in. They will be great for the hiking and water adventures.

Good

Great shoe! Super comfy!

Fits pretty true to size and very comfortable from the first time I put them on out of the box. Great arch support and good, grippy soles. Highly recommend this shoe for everyday use and for outdoor activities!

Very supportive shoes for my plantar fasciitis. Getting them to fit right required following the directions to tighten the straps. Once I figured out the proper way to do this they were very comfortable and fit well. The arch support is awesome. I expect to get years of wear from these. I like the firmer feeling sole underfoot compared to my tevas.

Just what I wanted and arrived duper fast.

These sandals fit great with no wear-in period.

I had returned a pair that had the big toe loop, and it was cutting circulation to my big toe (thank you Zappos customer service!). Got these instead, and they are AMAZING. Love them. Can't say enough about them. Feel great, fit great, overall wear them every day.

If you are prone to plantar fasciitis, this is the sandal for you. I wear these even in cool weather and will wear sox with them, much to my granddaughter's dismay. When my PF reared its ugly head, these sandals allowed me to continue my 4 1/2 mile daily walk. The arch support falls in exactly the right place on my foot.

Awesome. Like the originals that I have had for a million years. Just wanted to update from my plain black style. I've worn these all over the world in and out of water, with skirts to dress up, or socks to stay warm. All u need if packing light. The 8 fit me perfectly and I usually wear an 8 1/2 in other type shoes. I have a narrow foot so these sandals adjust for right fit. Only thing is the strap excess is a bit much. I usually cut it off. My only complaint or input if the manufacturer/designer reads this...... I know the white soles look very cute.... till you wear them a couple of times and then they always look dirty. Even a light gray sole would be better or the gummy tan that you have on some styles. These sandals last 4EVER so this is important. Don't ever change the support and straps!!! Only reason I'm returning is I decided I liked the gray ones for a change of pace.

I have owned Chacos for over 15 years. I jave never been disappointed in a pair yet, and I’m not with this pair, either. I weat a size 11, and the 11s fit me perfectly. Because my feet are large for a woman, I often wear men’s Chacos. Because the men’s don’t come in pretty colors, I boight this pair in women’s. The men’s feel more secure on my feet, which is why I like them, but this pair feels really good. Might be because of the doble straps. The blue color is very vibrant. One thing I love about Chacos is their durability. I’m still weating my 15+ year old pair. When they get dirty, I just hit them with the pressure washer. Makes them look like new. Perfect shoes for me!

Fantastic walking sandal! Iordered the Braid Blue. I’m allergic to ugly shoes and had a hard time finding a nice looking orthotic sandal! This color looks great with jeans and shorts. Super supportive sandal. Quick to put on and off once I got the hang of it. I like how the braid can be snugged or loosened easily while wearing to adjust fit. Thanks Zappos for your outstanding customer service and fast shipping!??
