Chaco Updraft Sport Sandals - Vibram® Outsole (For Women)

The shoes squeak, I only have worn them a few times to loud places. That is why it only gets one star.

I bought these in the spring and wore then exclusively all summer while pregnant with my fifth child. I spent most of my days on my feet taking care of four kids and running around. In the heat and humidity they were always supportive, cool, and comfortable. I walked a mile or two each day in these sandals as exercise, and never once had any issues with discomfort, chafing, etc. When I had swollen feet toward the end of summer, these sandals were quick to adjust...loosen the straps and I was good to go.

Honestly, these sandals were my constant companion from the moment I got up until I went to bed at night. My body got tired, but never once did my feet hurt. Wore these right up to my due date in mid September, even though it was getting cool. Put on my awesome running shoes later and was disappointed by how uncomfortable they were by comparison. I wear 8.5 or 9. I bought the 9 and they are just right. I love these sandals: walking, river, beach, church, shopping...they take me everywhere.

I wanted to like these. I own a pair of Chaco flip flops that I love. These were way too tight and my feet are not wide.

I was always wearing Teva sandals for very long time. I have purchased them on STP couple of years ago for about $30. And I loved them.
And I thought that I will give a try to a pair of Chaco as my old pair of Teva broke down. My skin on inside of my feet is rubbed by connection of fiber to the rubber sole. I thought that it will improve after a while, but it is not. Every time I am wearing them I have light blisters... And I have them for almost a year. That was my first and last time with Chaco...

I've been a long time chaco lover, but these were my first ones without the toe strap. I love them! Great for literally any occasion, from hiking to going to work. Take a few days to break in but once you do you'll never go back.
