Chaco Sandals are either loved or hated, so i bought a pair to see how they were built and see why people love them so much.

My wife has a pair of Chacos that were purchased around 15 years ago. They are the American made ones with the Vibram sole. They are her normal summer shoes that also serve as hiking shoes some and for canoeing/kayaking some. She had them re-soled by Chaco a couple years back. They will probably last another 15 years with her usage. She says that she has tried on newer models, but they simply do not have the same footbed and comfort of hers.

Bought a pair on a visit to Zion national park from over the Pond back in 2001 and they’re still going strong. Love em 🤠

I have 2 pairs of Chacos. I never thought I would like them, but honestly they are easy to wear, durable, great for floating and hiking! And I will never go back to my non-Chaco life. Thanks for doing this video!

Only after living in NYC have I had a pair of Chaco's actually break on me. The only thing to go was the outsole, I walked a hole into the bottom where the strap went between the midsole and outsole around the toe area. Never an issue with the midsole or anything else, truly durable sandals and the only comfortable ones I've ever had.

I've got three pairs of Chacos that I've had for about 10 years or so. NOTHING has failed! I love 'em. Thanks for the great videos, Weston!

Crazy to see this. I briefly worked at an outdoor store in 2008 and bought a pair of Chacos because the more experienced guys there told me they were the best sandals you could get. One continuous strap, can be resoled, etc. I took them to Thailand and Peru and wore them for weeks. Never touched my shoes while I was there. I’ve since put them in storage and half forgotten about them, but to be honest, they definitely held up pretty damn well… I think I’ll go grab them tomorrow and put them back to use.

Honestly, they're probably the most comfortable footwear that I own. The treads are great for me on any terrain. Can't explain it, since it appears to be so simple, but they really are worth the hype.

I have owned 5 pairs of Chaco's over the past 20 years. I find that the outsole - whether Vibram or proprietary - is always the first part of the sandal to wear out. But the heel strap is a very close second.

I just love how subtle compliments from this guy are (3:45)... Aside from that - the eight component is the sowing thread I think.

From experience, the easiest way to separate the Chaco insole from the outsole is to wash them in the washing machine then throw them in the dryer. Works well.

They are super comfy, breathable, secure on the foot, and you can get them wet - that's why people wear them for travel/casual. I think the Roman sandal/huarache style looks fine, but then again that's a matter of personal preference for most folks. I prefer Teva's over Chacos personally from a durability standpoint

You can mail your Chacos directly to the factory in Michigan and get them resoled.

Chacos are my main shoe for at least half the year because the arch support is so good and the footbed is so supportive! I rotate through several different pairs and the only one that's started coming apart is splitting in the outsole across the middle of the foot!

Our whole family lives in chacos. My first pair were Yampa Pros, with a gummier outsole for better traction on wet rocks when kayaking. We’ve sent Chacos back in for resoling and restrapping when the parts wore down. We lived in a subtropical climate, so it was possible to wear them 9 months out of the year. I’ve switched to now wearing the models with an additional memory foam layer inside, as at age 54, a little extra cushion under the heels is needed. Solid black straps are a nice classic neutral. You can also have them custom made and select all your materials, style, and color, which is done in Michigan and has a special tag with a US flag and “assembled in USA” on it. Wish they were still made in the US. Definitely our go-to adventure shoes.

I had my first pair for 5-6 years maybe and just replaced them this year. My outsole finally started to split right at the ball of my foot last year and I kept wearing them but I was worried about what would happen. Glad to see what was finally in there! They were my go-to warm weather/rainy day shoe in college. I could have had them repaired but it was time I finally moved on. Super secure on the foot

Dude I found your channel literally yesterday and after watching a bunch of vids, I subscribed and looked to see if you had a Chaco vid. I was disappointed but now suddenly you read my mind. Love the quality of these vids man keep it up.

Love it! I got my pair with the Vibram sole in 2013 and they're still going strong!

I have a few pair of Chacos. Early adopter and have now hiked several thousand miles in them. The customs made in Michigan are every bit the equal to the ones that came from CO. Honestly the Chinese ones are still better than any other sports sandal on the market. The question was asked at the end of the vid ‘what wears out first?’, soles for sure. I have done some pretty bad abrasion to the straps in very rocky areas.but every part of the sandal can be rebuilt.You can select soles or resoles from two Vibram patterns or their house pattern. I have much gratitude to the Re-Chaco team.
