Love the Z/2! I’ve been wearing these since high school, so going on somewhere around 25 years now… the extra toe loop I personally feel gives me a bit more grip and stability when tromping around outdoors, and hence I frequently where these when hiking and even occasionally backpacking. They’re super comfortable whether on the trail, in the water, or after a long day in my boots. The black is also classy enough for casual wear! Can’t beat ‘em, and I don’t intend to ever stop buying them.

I bought these to replace my old z cloud 2 sandals and unfortunately the quality is not the same. The web straps are not as supple and the tension required to adjust the strap is so minimal that the strap adjustment changes every time I wear them necessitating readjustment after every wear.

Bought these for a 18 mile trek, got 4 miles in and the soles came off both sandals, left me with bare footbeds with the straps exposed which were destroyed frayed and useless after the hike. WILL NEVER BUY CHACOS AGAIN!!!!! the company has cut the quality out of their original product to the point that you cant even get a single outing out of the sandals anymore. PS out of the 3 people that came all were wearing chacos and out of those 3 all had the sole start to or completely come off of their sandals

I have been wearing Chacos since the 90's. I would prefer not to wear any thing else on my feet. I have noticed a decline in the quality and longevity over the years. I still love them but they are not what they used to be.

The previous pair of Chaco Z Cloud sandals that I owned had thicker and softer straps. It appears that the company is trying to shave some cost at the expense of quality. The harder, thinner straps dig into my skin more than the previous model. Alison, I don’t understand why the end of strap goes down to the pavement when you pull the strap through the buckle. I had to have the straps shortened on my previous pair of sandals.

the right inside angle strap rubs in a painful way - rubbing my skin raw. My older pair of Z/2's do not do that

Great sandals. Wish there would be a choice of strap length to accommodate “low volume” feet. The sandals fit nicely, but approximately 1.5 inches of the strap drags on the ground.

I use these for canoeing. Great fit. Stable. The big toe pocket is a little tough to setup, but otherwise pretty solid sandal.

I hate them. I did not return them within the set time period, so I am stuck with them I guess. But they seem cheap, are uncomfortable, and are a poor fit.

Love my chacos. Unfortunately they stopped making the wider foot in size 13. The fit is not completely like it used to be before. I came back to chavosvas im in the water a lot and my go to birkenstocks is not made for Water. Before when you had the wider foot bed i even stopped buying Birkenstocks but then was forced to go back to them. One size up just does not do it.

The last pair I bought I wore for the past 15+ years. It was finally time to replace them.

Love my Chacos! I ordered these to replace my 7-year old pair of Z/2 classics, which replaced several pairs before that. They've been my favorite pair of summer footwear for years. 14ers, meandering hikes, kayaking, you name it - these are the best, supportive, and comfortable sandals out there.

I begrudgingly bought a new pair of Chacos....I had repaired/rebuilt my original pair several times and just hated to part with them....My new pair already feel as comfy as my originals! I'm a "toe loop" guy as I believe the loop provides better security and stability, particularly when wading in water with a soft bottom. I do find it interesting how several folks have noticed my Chacos and commented that they too have a pair and love 'em. Overall, I couldn't be more pleased with these sandals. Thanks for making such a fine product.

Great shoe, good quality and comfortable, even for picky feet like my husband's.

I love the redesign of this sandal. The sole is longer lasting and has a good gripping pattern. I have always like the Big toe loop because it secures the sandal to my foot comfortably. The adjustment is easy and effective. They look great and feel very comfortable to walk for miles/kilometers.
