These boots are really great. Comfy right out of the box. Nice narrow heal and wide toe box. Very ugly boot, but worth its weight in gold. I twisted my ankle some time ago and had painful tendonitis daily. After wearing my Chacos for two days I had no more pain! They come with their own inserts like Superfeet. I didn't want to use them because I have custom orthotics, but my ankle was still killing me with them. So, I decided to try the Chaco boots with their own inserts and they worked like a charm.

The boots are hardy and squeak a bit, but that is a small price to pay for curing my tendon problem. Also, I got them on sale at Zappos. Can't beat their shipping and return policy (free). I was lucky because after I bought the two pairs, they went back up to the original price. Phew! I would not say they are heavy duty boots though because I am used to hardier boots for backpacking. Also, they have a skywalk sole vs. vibram and I am not sure how long these types of soles last. Time will tell.

So far I love these boots. We'll see if they last as long as they are supposed to.
