The Best Chaco Sandals for Women

Chaco sandals are known for their variety in styles, colors, and designs. They also have a reputation for offering comfort, support, and durability all in one sandal. Many of their sandals were built to suit a range of terrains, equally suited to hiking trails as to the beach, and they’re made of the highest quality material to last you a long time. They’re also known for being repairable, so you don’t have to automatically throw away a favorite pair of sandals when they’re worn down or have to spend full price on a brand new pair. Whether you’re looking for a comfortable new pair of everyday sandals, an upgrade to your flip-flops, or shoes to take on your next hike to a lake, Chaco has a sandal style for everyone.

What to Consider in Chaco Sandals

• Style and Function: Chaco sandals are available in several different styles, from athletic sandals to flip-flops, from casual wear to dressy sandals. Some were even designed to serve cross-purposes.
• Material: Certain materials are more durable and long-lasting, while others will offer more in the way of comfort or support. Materials that are waterproof are also a plus.
• Colors and Patterns: More traditional, mono-colored sandals in shades of brown, black, and white are options, as are sandals in a range of vibrant colors and designs.
• Traction: If you plan to wear your sandals to the lake, beach, water park, or other outdoor aquatic activities, sandals with extra traction along the soles can help prevent you from slipping and falling.

Best Athletic: Chaco Women’s Z1 Classic Sport Sandal

 

Available in many fun colors, these vegan-friendly sandals have every feature you could hope for in an athletic sandal. The rubber bottomed sole has a special Chacogrip pattern along the bottom to give you extra grip and traction to avoid skidding or slipping. The straps are adjustable for your comfort, and the soles are treated with an antimicrobial solution for odor control. The buckle holds the straps firmly in place so you won’t have to worry about your straps coming undone in the middle of a hike or swim. And in the unlikely event that they slip off in the water, don’t worry—they float!

Best Flip-Flop: Chaco Women’s Lowdown Flip Sandal

These deceptively simple flip-flops offer more than your average pair. The jacquard webbing insole gives your feet a level of comfort and support. The rubber sole gives you an extra grip not usually found in flip-flops, while also designed to be non-marking so you can wear them around the house without worrying about ruining your floors. Available in five different colors and a true-to-size fit, this pair of flip-flops will suit you perfectly.

Best Color Options: Chaco Women’s ZCloud X2 Sport Sandal

A fun twist on a classic sandal design. Over 20 different colored patterns are available, from a more traditional black design to subtle neutrals and greens to eye-catching reds and oranges. The extra soft, pillow-like midsole cushions your feet as you walk, so you can go further without the aching feet. The webbed double straps dry quickly and wrap around your foot and through the midsole in order to better adjust to the size and shape of your feet. The toe strap in this design provides added security and detail. The bottoms of the sandals have the trademark ChacoGrip to give you better tread on uneven ground and are designed to withstand wet surfaces. These are great for shorter hikes as well as daily casual wear.

Best for Everyday Wear: Chaco Women’s Juniper Sandal

An attractive and stylish sandal that is equally at home in the office, a night on the town, or out for a day of shopping. The imported leather is of the highest quality, with a special full-grain leather on the upper straps. The antique metal buckle gives these sandals a classic, timeless look while keeping your straps firmly in place. The leather lining is sleek and comfortable and comes with an embroidered graphic for a little bit of extra, subtle flair. They also offer a non-marking, ChacoGrip sole made of 15 percent recycled rubber so you don’t have to worry about walking across slick floors or wet surfaces. Five different colors are available so you’ll be able to find a shade perfect for any outfit in your closet.
