Have you heard of the amazing outdoor shoes called Chaco or heard anyone refer to themselves as a Chaconian? Well I didn’t until a few months ago and I have to wonder why I didn’t know about this before.

Chaco is an durable brand of footwear for men, women and children geared toward the adventurer. They have a complete line of flips, boots, sandals and shoes to be used on the trails, on water or even just for a walk around town. Their shoes are made of top quality material that are rugged yet stylish, comfortable yet affordable and will be the envy of all your friends.

We checked out the ZX/1 Ecotread™ for little kids in Mermaid. I was planning to try a pair for myself but to be honest I couldn’t choose which style I wanted because I was in love with so many of them. I decided to just have Karolyn as my tester instead. The sandal has a webbing pattern made of two narrow polyester straps that are in the Custom Adjust’em system that Chaco uses to make their shoes fit perfectly and securely for every foot by conforming to the curves of your feet. These sandals have their trademarked ChaPU™ midsole and LUVSEAT™ platform footbed that provides lasting arch support and correct body alignment making the shoes comfortable to wear for hours upon hours. The Chaco’s sandals also very easy on and off once properly fitted to your child’s foot. Even better, they have non-marking soles which makes them great for school. The outsole of the Ecotread is also earth friendly by containing 25% recycled content.

The Chaco website is so full of great information that I honestly can’t even touch on it and do it justice. You really need to check it out for yourself. “The Fit” tab contains information about how to properly adjust your sandals using the Chaco’s Custom Adjust’em system. You’ll find videos as well as sizing information and more on the LUVSEAT footbed. This custom footbed was created with the help of a podiatrist and it can help your posture and alleviate strain on our joints.

Karolyn really loves her Chaco’s. She said they are the most comfortable shoes she has ever worn and she wears them everywhere. She wore them for an entire day and night walking at Disney and she had no blisters, rubbing or discomfort. She likes that they are lightweight and stylish and her feel don’t stink when she wears them. Even if they did they can easily be washed.

Chaco also has a line of webbing belts made of the same high quality material as their sandals. For your canine buddy they sell dog collars and leashes made from the webbing so even your pet can embrace the Chaconian lifestyle.

Chaco’s also does their best for their customers by offering repairs on shoes for the overly adventurous. You can also purchase a single shoe in case the former is beyond repair or lost at sea.

You can custom create your very own Chaco sandals to get exactly what you want. Purchase Chaco’s on-line at their website or find them at a store near you by utilizing their store locator.
