Chaco Z/2 Adjustable Strap Wide-Width Classic Sandal Women Black

I purchased my first pair of these sandals 23 years ago. I have hiked in them, rafted in them, run errands in them, and walked many, many, many miles in them. These are my go-to summer shoes and I always look forward to putting them on when the weather warms up after a wet Oregon winter. I bought the basic black so they go with everything! The soles of that pair finally broke in half on a recent trip to Nova Scotia, so when I returned home, I promptly purchased another pair of the exact. same. shoe. The only difference I notice with the new pair is that the sole feels a little softer. I liked the old sole, but this one feels even better! I'm looking forward to the next 23 years with my new black Chacos!

I bought these after returning a different brand that didn't really stand up to the on-the-move activities we do in the summer. I spent so much time going back and forth, researching and trying to make sure I was investing the money in a sandal that was not only going to last, but was going to be comfortable. The first pair were comfortable but had a functionality problem. A friend asked why I didn't just get a pair of Chacos... So I returned the other pair and went with the classic pair! Very happy I made that call and very happy sandal weather is sticking around longer! Once the straps are adjusted for the right fit, these stay on all day, doesn't matter if I'm on the trail, at the beach, in the store or office. I did make sure to follow the instructions provided and spend a little extra time right off the bat making sure I was adjusting everything to feel great. I don't need wide width or anything special...I just need something that goes as much as I do! I love them so much that I'm thinking of investing in a second pair next year.
