Chaco Men's Z/Volv 2

Chaco improved everything I didn't like about the ones I had in 2002.

I've worn these for six months each of the last two years and they're the first footwear I go to if it's the high 50s and warmer. That's because they're so comfortable and my feet can breathe.

I had two pair of the same in the early 2000s and they sucked. Those were painful to wear due to the self-tightening of the big toe strap to the point of cutting off circulation causing pain. Add to that whatever the material was that made up the footbed caused a butt stink in a few hours of wear that filled the room even if they were washed and put on clean feet. In frustration I threw them in the trash and swore off Chaco.

Two years ago I again bought two pair from Sierra Trading Post, knowing that if there were any gripes I could return for a full refund. I was delighted, to my surprise neither issue existed with the current model. They're comfy, supportive, and no stink even after several days of wearing them.

I highly recommended them, especially at the $55+/- price point they can be had on sale.
