I’ve worn these shoes for 4 years and they’re just now starting to wear out. I wear them to school, around town, in the snow/ice (maybe a little cold then, but kept me from slipping), and on mountains. One of my favorite pairs of shoes.I purchased the Chaco ZX1 Ecotread Sandal for a trip I was going on last summer. I am an adult who chose to buy children’s sandals because they are a little bit cheaper. I wear a size 5-5.5 in women and the 4M fit me perfectly. I would recommend this shoe for any adult whose feet are small enough to buy children’s shoes, but I would also recommend these shoes to parents who are looking to find their children durable and supportive sandals.Arch SupportThe arch support on these shoes are great, it made my foot feel like I was wearing a tennis shoe. My feet did not start to ache quickly like they do when someone wears flip-flops. I could walk all day in these shoes and my arches would not be aching.StrapsYou can adjust the straps to fit your feet perfectly. Once the straps are adjusted the shoes will fit that way unless you adjust them again. The only thing about the straps that was a bit challenging was that the side strap is long for me after adjustment. I do not mind that the strap is a little long because I just tuck it in when I put them on. I would wear these shoes in just about every situation because I know that they are secure on my feet. The design of the straps gives my feet a lot of air, and they do not get too hot on a summer day.DurabilityThese shoes are very durable no matter where you are wearing them. They have a thick rubber bottom that has a lot of traction. They grip the ground extremely well and they are thick enough that if you would step on a sharp rock or glass you would not even feel it on the bottom of your foot. I wore the shoes everyday this past summer and they still look brand new. There is not a lot of wear and tear that happened because they are made well.VersatilityI wore them in a lot of different environments, and they were great in every situation. I wore these shoes to the beach and would sometimes wear them into the water. The Chaco’s were easy to wear on the beach because of the back strap that held them onto my feet. I also took them hiking, and I did not regret the decision to wear the sandals over tennis shoes. They stayed on my feet well because of the design, and they also have great traction on the bottom of the shoe so I was never worried I would lose my footing.Up-KeepThese shoes are easy to clean up if you get them dirty. They dry extremely quickly if you happen to get them wet. When they were dirty I would hose them off and could wash them with soap.Overall, I have compared these sandals to other outdoor sandals that my sister’s have and I think these ones are the best. I am definitely going to be buying another pair for this upcoming summer. This is such a great product and I am excited for it to warm up again outside, so I can start wearing my Chaco’s.I'm writing an early review and will update later on comfort/durability. My family is going on a little trip to Branson so I've been hunting for just the right shoes that would be not only comfortable for walking around all day, but also to get wet in. I ordered myself and my 7 year old daughter a pair of chacos and my 3 boys got Tevas. I struggled with choosing a size when ordering. Some reviews say to order down a size, some say true to size and others swear by ordering up. I wear a women's 8 so I bought my chacos in an 8 and they are a perfect fit! That being said, my daughter wears a children's size 2 so that's what I ordered. Yeah......no. They were way to big on her. There was no way to even adjust them tight enough to make them work. I returned them and reordered a size 1. They will be here Friday and I'm praying for a better fit because I wanted us all to have time to break them in well before we left to make sure they didn't leave blisters. I will say, the quality was excellent. They were the same as mine as far as quality and adjustability. The Tevas I ordered for my boys won't be here until Saturday so my fingers are crossed for them. They have similar mixed reviews on sizing. Why does it have to be so hard??My 11 year old daughter loves these! They do run big - she’s wearing 4 in tennis shoes but had to exchange for a size 3 in these, so you might want to size down. The length on the 4 wasn’t extremely long, but the placement of the hard arch support was not right for her foot. I was a little frustrated to have to size down to a length that exactly fits her foot right now, knowing she wouldn’t be able to grow into them, but had no choice due to the arch placement. It took some adjusting to get the straps right, but with some trial and error around the house, she got them to where they were comfy.She says she couldn’t wear them for long walks or hikes and be comfortable, but for a regular day’s activities or summer camp they’re great. And some of her friends are very happy to wear them hiking, so it might just be that some feet fit them better.My daughter’s feet are narrow and these are a little wide on her, but still work fine.One recommendation to Chaco, if they are listening: PLEASE MAKE KIDS SIZES IN PLAIN BLACK!! Thank you. Hahaha.Love these! In the summer I live in my Chaco flip flops, women's size 8. I at one point had a pair of the Chaco sandals with the toe strap, but never wore them because they bothered me (toe strap and generally couldn't get the straps adjusted right) and were really heavy -- much heavier than the flip flops. However, sometimes you want a sandal instead of a flip and I thought I might give it another try with Chacos without the toe strap. I somehow wandered into these and discovered that Women's Size 8 = Big Kid Size 6 in this brand. How cool is that! It's about 50% off cool, is what it is. I was worried about the fit because I have a high arch, but they hit me exactly right in the arch and feel amazing -- I didn't want to take these babies off. I got the color called "faded pink" and it's more purple than pink and doesn't look like only something a 4-year-old would love, it looks totally reasonable for an adult. These are not nearly as heavy as my other other Chaco sandals were, much closer to the flips (but more secure, of course. The straps are secure and comfortable -- your feet are not going to slide forward out of these, which was a concern of mine.Just FYI, I wear a women's 7 1/2 usually, sometimes an 8, in other shoes. My feet measure 24.5 cm. 95% of the time I fit a Euro 38.Estuve buscando varias sandalias para caminar, creo que encontré las perfectas. No las he probado aún pero se ven muy cómodas. Me quedaron muy bien de lo largo y ancho y se ajustan perfectamente a mi pie.
