"good but could be great"

ok so I bought these for $27.90 so there is really nothing to complain about, because regularly these things go for $70. However; the thong part of the flip flop is to high for my foot, the sole fits my foot. but since you can't adjust the thong part, only the strap, they look a bit funny on my feet. I think Chaco should make them a bit tighter, because the flip itself is so heavy that if you do not wear it tight it will be virtually impossible to walk in except maybe around your house. I have heard of others having the same issue, but like I said for $28 bucks I can't complain to much still a well mad product, but could have been designed a bit different. 4 stars

"Most comfortable sandal"

I love these Chaco sandals. I bought the woman's version through another retailer and they don't fit a wider foot correctly. When I returned them to the store, the woman working there suggested trying the men's two sizes down. They are the same looking sandals. I decided not to buy them at that time. However, I saw them on sale for 27 dollars on Amazon in a mens size 7 and decided to take a chance. The worman was correct. These fit a woman's slightly wider foot perfectly!!!! No wear in time, no blisters and 60 dollars less. Now thats what I call a great suggestion and deal. Would buy them again. Thanks merchant at "the other store". 5 stars

"Best arch support in a sandel yet!"

This is my 1st Chaco sandal I've tried. I have been a TEVA fan for a long time, but the Chaco's have a great arch support. I was looking at the $95 Chaco's, but decided on the "HipThong" as it was less pricey. I was concerned about them not having a heel strap and they would fall off like other thong style sandals, but indeed they remain put! I clean in-ground swimming pools here in New Orleans for a living and tennis shoes are a nightmare! I come home wanting to amputate my feet after 8 hours of WET tennis shoes! รถ ...and the next morning, shoes are still wet. Now with my Chaco's and SunBlock SPF 70 I can put a full days work in with no pain or strain :) (except for it being 90+ degrees all day long) I will say they are a tad heavy, but nothing like WET shoes and socks! By far the most comfortable sandal I've worn. I will try other Chaco styles by visiting a local Chaco retailer on Magazine St. Men's size 11 is spot on! 5 stars

"Like being barefoot with arch support"

This is the fourth pair of Chacos I've had. I LOVE these things. I'm very hard on shoes, but Chaco stands up to the abuse I give them. These are the first pair of hipthongs I've bought and I'm just as impressed with these as I've been with my zongs. They stay on your feet a lot better than flip flops and the arch support is the best I've ever encountered in a shoe. All my other shoes have orthodics in them, but these sandals are more comfortable than some of my orthodics boosted shoes. If you're looking for a pair of sandals to last a lifetime, GET THESE. 5 stars

"fast and great!"

These were a gift for my son. We ordered them while he was with us in Costa Rica and by the time he returned home to NYC he received them. He said he loves them. He could not wait for the weather to be warm so he could wear them outside. He was happy. It was his birthday gift. Pretty cool that we could look at them through internet down here in sunny beautiful Costa Rica, chose his gift and then return home and have them arrive the next day! 3 day turn around I think! Thanks. 5 stars
