How should Chacos fit — do they run big or small?
Most people find Chacos run true to size, but sizing can vary by model and foot shape. They use a footbed arch length system, so if you're between sizes, sizing up is often advised.
Do Chacos require a break-in period? Will they give me blisters?
Yes—many users report an initial break-in period where the straps or footbed may cause hot spots or blisters. Sun & Ski suggests slowly increasing wear time and offers “Cloud” footbed models for quicker comfort. In-store staff can help you adjust straps properly to minimize irritation.
Are Chacos heavy or durable enough for trail use?
Chacos have sturdy PU midsoles, which can feel heavier than typical sandals, but they’re praised for long-lasting support and durability. Many models are APMA-approved for arch support and have rugged soles—ideal for dirt, rivers, or trail use.
What is the difference between Z/1 and Z/2 strap styles?
Z/1 features no toe loop—easier on/off and better for high arches. Z/2 includes a toe loop for added stability in wet or slippery conditions.
What measurements should I take for the best fit?
Measure foot length, width, and especially arch length (heel to ball) to align with Chaco’s footbed profile.
