Review:
Chaco Z/2 PRO
With a focus on forefoot control, the Z/2® features a wrap-around toe loop that keeps your feet locked to the footbed. With an easily adjusted pull-through strap system you can insure that it will fit your foot specifically.
The Vibram Idro grip sole gives this sandal more stability on wet or inverted surfaces. I put these to the test on an incredible canoe trip that required a significant amount of hiking around on both wet and dry rocks, as well as path walking.
My feet went from dry to wet and not once did I loose stability due to the sandals. I never experienced rubbing from the straps when they were wet thanks to the soft polyester webbing that dries quickly.
I find that I am reaching for these sandals as not only a performance piece, but as my everyday go to as well!
When first trying out the Zong, the tester has a very high arch and it took awhile to fit the sandal, never having worn Chaco sandals before. He also has never had a sandal with anything between his toes. Once he got the fit correct and got used to the strap between the toes, he was surprised how comfortable and stable the sandal became. The convenience of being able to slip into the sandal added to the appeal.
Having the toe loop, he soon realized that this gave added stability for side to side forefoot stability. We love the fact that Chaco has outsoles featuring 25% recycled rubber. Chaco has a unique strap concept which once understood, allows the reader to feel more confident in the stability of the sandal.
