Review of Chaco Women's Z1 Sandal

My first pair of Chaco's sandals was this style in the "Razz" color--which is the muted red print on the dark brown footbed.

OH..MY..Plantar Fasciitis Relief!

I found these so comfy, so soothing to my troubled feet, that I ordered them in another sandal style (no toe wrap, black) and fell in love with those even more.This style, while nice and comfy, can be troublesome around the toe for some (and even me some days if I don't adjust the straps just so).

These do keep your foot in place better than the other non-toe wrap style, but the others give the foot more flexibility. So, this style gets one star removed for that particular issue--the toe thing. Some people prefer the stability of the toe-wrap. I prefer the freedom and ability to "shrug" my toes in the other styles.

I now have five pairs of these pricey sandals (OMIGOSH, how much I spent!) because they make my feet happy. These may not be sexy, but they are well-constructed, will last ages, can be cleaned after every use with a cleanser and sponge or an antibacterial gel (I sometimes use that with a sponge or cloth) and a shot of Lysol. (Yeah, I like my sandals CLEAN.) And it doesn't affect it. They keep right on striding.

Walk in a soggy garden, through the rain, in the dirt. No matter. These clean up and keep going.

With casual wear, these are my number one footwear now. Cool. Anti-fungal (for those with these issues, these let your feet BREATHE). Esy to care for. Fun in a kicky casual groove with jeans and leggings (bootcut, especially).

And the company tries to be socially and eco-responsible. That's a plus.

If you have plantar fasciitis, give these a try. These are the ONLY shoes I don't immediately kick off when I get home. :)

Mir--with happy Chaco's feet

NOTE: These run a bit large. I have them in both my normal size (10) and in one smaller(9), and I find I prefer the smaller size. It's up to how much "bumper room" you like for your feet. Strongly recommend you consider downsizing a size, and if you're between sizes (ie, you're 8.5), definitely size down to an 8, rather than up to a 9.
