Here's what other sites are saying:
From Backcountry.com:
"The Chaco Men's Zong Sandal creates a durable and functional slip-on. Chaco's Biocentric footbed molds to your foot's shape for optimal comfort on hikes or creek explorations. The recycled rubber outsole provides a secure stick in wet and dry conditions and proves long lasting, resisting usual wear and tear. The straps offer a heel free fit for convenient slip-on and with adjustable straps you can find the nicest fit."
From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Chaco Men's Zong Sandals (Spring 2009) - Free Shipping The Zong by Chaco is part Z/2, part thong. The Zong allows for free-heel convenience while keeping your forefoot firmly engaged in the mission at hand. Wrap-around toe loop does not pull straight back between the toes. Strap Width: 19mm Weight: 25oz (710g)"
From Altrec Outdoors:
"The slip-on ease of a flip-flop with the forefoot security of a performance sport sandal, the Chaco Zong sandal takes its name from the venerably popular thong and the Chaco Z/2 sandal. A heel strap is absent from this design, but a toe loop makes a secure anchor point for the big toe to provide precise forefoot control. In fact, many hardcore adventurers prefer this forefoot design for canyoneering, trail running, and rafting. The soft polyester webbing is quite comfortable, even for those who typically can tolerate nothing more than sand between their toes. And unlike a thong, the Chaco Zong men's sandal does not scoot backward, rubbing between the toes. Although the strap system is suited more for casual endeavors than an approach to a big wall climb, the Chaco Zong sandal still offers features on par with Chaco's performance models. A Vibram outsole firmly grips a wide assortment of surfaces and the BioCentric footbed contour cradles the foot in the neutral position, a healthy posture for the feet, legs and spinal column too as it promotes a proper stride."
From RockCreek:
"The Chaco Zong Sandal has the perfect combination of freedom on your foot, and adjustable security. The Zong allows for free-heel convenience while keeping your forefoot firmly engaged in the mission at hand with a wrap-around toe loop that does not pull straight back between the toes, but gently holds your foot in place. With BioCentric support, a new, softer footbed and EcoTread outsoles that can be re-soled, the Chaco Zong is a thoughtful, comfy approach to slip-on sandals. Chaco focuses on reducing waste and minimizing its enviromental footprint with its EcoTread, a durable outsole made of 25% recycled rubber."
