Sorry, we cannot accommodate single shoe orders at this time. Our footwear is not only sold, but also manufactured in pairs.

Yes, we are able to repair soles and straps on our 'Z' sandals along with some other minor repairs to other models. To see what we can repair and for more information on ReChaco, please visit our ReChaco page.

Mix together in a bucket 1 part water and 1 part unscented liquid fabric softener. Let the sandals soak overnight, then pull straight up on the straps where it comes out of the sandal. Be sure not to pull the straps at an unnatural angle, this can tear the footbed. After un-sticking, rinse or wash your sandals. If you need some help unsticking the straps—we’re here for you. Send your sandals in to our ReChaco team using our repair form.

Our sandals are fit for any adventure in or around water! Our Z/Sandals feature a waterproof PU footbed and quick drying polyester straps. The Chaco Z sandal was originally invented as a rafting sandal, so water is in our DNA! While we offer many styles of sandals and flips, some of our leather products fair better on land.

Like most footwear, Chaco sandals require a break-in period. Generally, blisters forming on the bottom of the foot indicate the need for a longer break-in period. To prevent blisters, we suggest slowly breaking in new sandals over a week or two. A good rule of thumb is to start wearing new sandals 3 to 4 hours per day. For additional support and information about fit, reach out to one of our customer service team members.

Our sandals and Flips are a great option to wear to the beach! Anytime you wear them in salt water or in a chlorine pool, rinse them in fresh water afterwards. It’s important to floss following any beach or muddy environment adventures (see flossing instructions below).

Flossing:

- Soak sandals overnight in 1-part water and 1-part unscented liquid fabric softener. Then pull the webbing back and forth through the channels to clear the webbing of dirt and debris. Rinse or wash sandals after flossing.

Every pair of Chaco footwear is accepted by the American Podiatric Medical Association and offers ergonomic arch-support that’s healthy and aligning for your body. It all comes from our comfortable LUVSEAT Footbed, built into every pair of Chacos.

Our Z sandals are a great option for long hikes, and hours on your feet! Our Podiatrist accepted footbed works with the natural contour of your foot providing extended comfort. All Z/sandals come equipped with a sticky, durable rubber outsole ready to take on the elements for miles and miles.

Chaco’s can be used for a variety of activities ranging from hikes on rocky terrain, to bonfire hangouts with friends! We can guarantee there’s a style fit for any adventure.

Most of our sandals offer the Chacogrip outsole. Chacogrip is our proprietary outsole developed by our advanced concepts team to leverage the latest advances in wet traction and durability.

Hiking sandals can offer more breathability than closed-toed hiking boots and shoes. Sandals are a great option for hiking in warmer weather and when you’re likely to encounter wet environments. Chaco Z/Sandals offer an unmatched versatility allowing you to cover various landscapes without changing your footwear. Consider toe coverage when hiking more technical terrain.

Chaco offers a few different Z/sandal styles. For those who don’t prefer a strap around their big toe, we recommend the Z/1 style. For added toe and forefoot security, try the Z/2 or ZX/2 styles. For new Chaco customers, we recommend trying on a few different styles to see what feels best for you. All of our Z/sandals are equipped with a premium Chacogrip sticky rubber outsole to tackle any terrain.
