Women's Zcloud 2 Sport Sandal

My OLD SHOES: I've been wearing out a pair of zx2s for several years. They have been my favorite sandal but with some drawbacks. The toe hold tightens, I'm assuming after the straps get wet and then dries. They are always tight, and while they can be readjusted, it's kind of a pain. Also, the heel cup, after long walks, would cause pain under my foot. But they were my most hardy, versatile, supportive pair of shoes so I lived with it.THESE SHOES: after the foot bed split on my old pair, and the lacing started looking ragged, I decided to check out these, in a wider width.Two things:1. width matters. The wider shoe fixed the tight heel cups.2. The wider straps on this style seem to eliminate the toe hold from feeling like it's going to sever your big toe. AND they are way easier to adjust. (Ok that's three things)I had no idea that an already great sandal can be even better. If you've got wide, wonky feet and you are looking for an awesome shoe, get these!

I thought I'd post this for those who are in between sizes, since a lot of reviews tell people to size up. My regular shoe size is a 7.5 wide and I have wide feet with a normal width in the heel (think duck feet). I generally size up when half sizes are not available, so I ordered an 8 wide (sandal on the right). There was too much toe room and they felt generally ill-fitting and awkward. The back strap was too loose and couldn't be tightened without pulling the top strap too tight. I then ordered a 7 wide (sandal on the left) and they fit perfectly. They feel comfortable and not at all clunky on my feet like the 8 wide did. I'm still getting used to the footbed, as I've never worn Chaco's before (the footbed is much more substantial than the Teva's I'd been wearing). I'll come back and update once I've worn them more. I was able to first try on different styles of Chaco's in an outdoor store, but had to go online to find them in a wide width. The model without the toe strap was more comfortable to me, but the toe strap makes them feel secure on my feet. I also like the single strap vs the double strap model. It's way too difficult to get the double strap adjusted properly. Anyway, I'm keeping the 7 wide, so my advice is to try to size down if you're in between sizes, depending on how you like your shoes to fit.Update: I've had these sandals now for about a year and after the adjustment period, I love them. I just went to a convention that had a ton of walking, and these were more comfortable to walk in than my expensive running shoes. My only issue lately is that the straps keep loosening on their own, and I have to keep tightening them.

So, the footbed is extremely comfortable, supportive, and roomy. I could walk on these shoes all day. What is problematic is the way the straps function. They are adjustable from the toe loop all the way through the footbed to the clasp. While in theory this is a good thing, because it allows for all sorts of foot shapes, in reality as I walk, the straps start to shift, and they end up really tight around my big toe and loose behind my heel. Thus, I have to bend over or sit or squat to re-adjust them again ... like every 30 minutes or so of walking. This is problematic, for me at least. I hope they work better for you.

At first, I was having some of the same problems other reviews mention here: a long, dangling pull strap, not necessarily feeling comfortable support, and straps that tightened the longer you walked. I was debating returning them, but the price for the B/W version cannot be beat, so I gave it another shot and finally figured out how to PROPERLY adjust the main zig-zag straps: the toe loop, the upper foot strap, and the buckle strap. These three are connected, and at first I kept pulling just the toe loop and upper foot strap to adjust, but didn't get good results until I finally pulled more length from the buckle strap to the upper foot strap and adjusted from there.I have very skinny ankles and feet, and my pull straps no longer dangle off my sandals or need to get tucked in and I'm not having the issue with my shoes tightening the longer I walk. My shoes are now properly fitting to my arches as well and they're very comfortable.

I have owned two other pairs of chacos previously and this will be my third pair! They last for years and are super comfortable! There have been reviews saying straps are too big or too small, but if you loosen the straps according to the instructions then adjust the tightness of the straps once your foot is in the Chaco then they should mold to your foot perfectly. There are a bunch of YouTube videos on how exactly to adjust them. So give them a chance! The zCloud has been my favorite so far because they are super light compared to the original fit.Definitely recommend!

These are great - supportive and so comfy!! Took them on a 5 mile hike then 2-3 mile hikes the next day (carrying a 5-10lbs pack and my 3yo son at times) only a few days after I got them, so there was basically no break-in time. But I didn’t have any problems at all! Took them in water, they dried fast and didn’t have issues with hotspots - this was a a great way to clean them. I was very worried about the light colors getting dirty and looking gross, but jumped in a stream and they looked brand new. Also climbed down a pretty steep, rocky waterfall and had no worries about slipping. I did get some nice blisters on the top of my toes but that was 100% my fault for not breaking them in (and the next day I just put a bandaid over the blister under the strap and it was completely fine). Since then, I’ve worn them without any blister issues. The worst thing I have to say is the toe loop strap was kind of hard to get into place but once they’re sized, you’re good to go!

These sandals were delivered this morning so I put them on immediately hoping for the best. This is my 3rd pair of Chacos but a different design. The one solid woven strap is definitely a big improvement over the 3 strap. The arch is a bit higher which is great! Took them on a test walk of 3 miles then rode my mountain bike. I'm 75 and my feet are not one bit sore, tired or tell me to take the sandals off! Thanks Chaco for a great hiking sandal.

I bought the solid black in a UK size 6 from the Amazon Global Store. All of the pictures showed no toe loop and the product description didn't mention this either. I was disappointed as I was specifically looking for ones without the toe loop and thought that's what I'd purchased. I'm keeping them as the hassle of returning is too much. Don't trust the pictures! It's a shame as other than this, the product is good quality and arrived promptly. If you're looking for ones with a toe loop, you'd probably be very happy with them!

I was super excited to find some chacos on amazon since they don't ship to Canada on their website. Unfortunately, even tho I order 9 femalez they sent me 9 male and they are way too big. Will need to return them

Fit true to size. Very comfortable and supportive. Cute and stylish.

I love this product
