This is the replacement for the stealth that Chaco is not making any longer I am told. These have all the same features except they have the new IndroGrip Compound soles. Not as sticky as the diamond stealth- but still really nice IMO especially around water.

I have only used on one extended river trip so far so thought I would put up my initial impressions for you folks looking to replace the stealth. They are "as advertised" but don't think you are getting the same grip as the stealth.

Great support- comfort- fit - adjust etc just like my Colorado and Unasweeps. Wore on dry rocky trail as well as on an Oregon river and performed well around water and on trail.

So far I am pleased and will see how they hold up on the long extensive hiking and rafting of the GC for almost a month. Performance is good so far and will check back in after September and have MANY more miles on them. Superior to any other sandals on the market so will see what kind of life they have.
