Chaco Z/2 Classic

I have owned the Chaco Z/2 since the late 1990s. They are by far my favorite pair of footwear. I have narrow heels and these are the perfect solution for me. The resole and restrap service was a great experience. I wear these daily during the summer as a work shoe and as a water shoe on the weekends. I'll hike in easy terrain where the open toe won't be an issue. In the mid to late 1990s I went on a white water rafting trip and accidentally left my old water shoes behind. The only place nearby was… Full review

Chaco Z/1 Classic

This is a review of a custom pair of Chaco Z/1 Classics I purchased a few years ago. It’s a pair of Z/1 Classics customized via Chaco’s website; still a nice sandal for walking and water stuff, super-durable, equally happy on moderate trails, in/around the water, on canoes, and at the beach. My only gripe is that the very durable straps have one place where my feet tend to develop a blister, even after a few years; I wear a small piece of tape over that spot. I’m also sprinkling in some ReChaco… Full review

Keen Newport

Is this a design classic, yet? Comfort, protection, durability—an archetype, of summer footwear. As a long-term Teva wearer, I was looking for a summer shoe with more protection and more grip for river and beach wear. I was already well acquainted with the broad-fitting Keen last and excellent, grippy, and tough sole unit, so the Newports were an easy choice. I knew that the rubber toe protector and extensive forefoot enclosure would be an improvement on former purchases when fording rivers or… Full review

Scott Hawaii Makaha

The Scott Hawaii Makaha slipper is perfect for Hawaii living. Quality construction and with the simple color combo that I appreciate. My previous pair lasted three years of everyday wearing. Also, the toe edge does not stick out very far beyond my toes which greatly decreases tripping potential! I have been looking for a simple black slipper with a white arch layer in all the regular surf shops for two months and the ONLY company that had EXACTLY what I wanted was right here in Hawaii (I live on… Full review

Merrell Tetrex Crest Wrap

They work well enough but are a disapointing replacement for my old Merrell All Out Blaze Sieve Sandals. Although they are sold as sandals, it would be more accurate to think of them as shoes with holes, because they are ideal for walking in water. Personally I like the style over conventional open-toe sandals because of the protection they provide, but I know some people who don't, particularly as they tend to get little rocks and things stuck in them more than the open-toe type. I bought these… Full review

Chaco Z/Cloud

This is Chaco’s original Z-1 Classic with a softer footbed. The sole is pretty good on both trails and wet rocks; the softer, more grippy rubber shows some wear over time. Good support and comfort for a sport sandal. This is one of my go-to sandals for walking on trails and the beach as well as on canoes and around the water. I have been wearing Chaco sandals for nearly fifteen years, still have a pair of their Z/1 Classics; I picked up the Z/Clouds about three years ago as a more forgiving alternative. Full review

Keen Zerraport II

Water shoe with great drainage and Keen’s well-known toe protection. I like Keens around boats and rocks because they keep my toes from getting mashed. This one has the added benefit of siped soles, good traction, and an open design that dries quickly. The midsole/sole is also thick enough for moderate hiking. Adjustability of straps is kind of limited. Keen‘s Zerraport II is a successor to their Zerraport, which in turn is a successor to the long-discontinued hydro guide. https://www.trailspace.com/gear/keen/hydro-guide/… Full review

Bedrock Sandals Cairn Pro II

The Bedrock Cairn Pro II allows adventurers to equip themselves with a quality sandal that’ll stand up to nearly any condition. With adjustable features and great color options, it’s easy to appreciate the supportive and eye-catching build of this product. MSRP: $120 Weight: About 9 ounces Color: 7 options Bedrock Cairn Pro II I’ve been lucky enough to own Bedrock sandals, Chaco sandals, Shamma Sandals, and Teva sandals. Each brand has strengths and weaknesses in the outdoors. But Bedrock’s… Full review

Teva Original Universal

I bought these in the late 1990s. I moved to Texas and I wanted a breathable footwear for school and for water sports. I purchased these and I have used them in every creek and stream in and around water in Texas. I am doing the same thing in any water in Virginia.   I bought these Tevas cause I knew Texas was hot and full of streams and creeks. I wanted something I could wear in the water and around and not mind if it got wet and torn up from the use.  They are a simple shoe—a two-piece rubber… Full review
