Product Summary

Chaco’s Women’s Classic Sandals have been around since 1989, offering a dependable, timeless, and comfortable sandal. Several reviewers report owning one pair for close to 20 years before noticing any wear and tear. The newest model in the classic series is the Z/1 Classic Sandal which features adjustable straps for a customized fit, standard straps, and Chaco’s patented LUVSEAT PU cushioned footbeds, which are podiatrist-certified for both comfort and support. Additionally, the newer nonmarking ChacoGrip rubber outsole boasts a 3.0 millimeter lug for improved traction.

Users appreciate the versatility and durability of the Z/1 sandals with several reviews emphasizing the good arch support provided. While the straps are adjustable and allow for a custom fit, several users found the material irritated their skin. The Z/1 sandals are available in both medium and wide width. Another issue reported in several reviews is that the non-adjustable strap is somewhat tight so if your feet tend to run slightly wider, consider choosing the wide width sizing.
