Beware: Quality Control Issue By woodyww from East Tennessee on 02/16/2009 Pros: Breathes Well, Good Arch Support, Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual, Conservative, Stylish Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wrote a review for this sandal about a week ago when I received my first pair. That review is glowing. I liked my first pair so much, I ordered two more pairs in the identical size 10 but in different colors. This review is for that follow-up order and it is not as good as my first review. Here's the issue: The fit on my first pair received was perfect. Same goes for one of the two pairs received subsequently. The third pair, although identical in size to the other two pairs (10) is far TOO TIGHT. The thong strap on each foot digs into my instep. The result is red and blue marks on my instep when I take them off. It's painful, too. Go figure. Now I understand the reviews on here that complain about the too-tight fit. Buyer Beware -- the fit on this sandal in an identical size varies from shoe to shoe. I have three pairs -- two are perfection; the third is too tight (Ash/gray).

The only negative I can come up with is that they absorb a lot of heat in direct sunlight and feel like walking on hot sand if you don't cover them.
By Dutchman from Chicago on 02/10/2009 Pros: Breathes Well, Comfortable, Durable, Good Arch Support, Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear Sizing: Feels full size too small Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These are the best flips I have owned. I now have 3 pairs. Comfortable enough to wear all day, with great arch support. Order one size larger.

That ought to say something. They are a great utilitarian shoe. They are good-looking with a starched white shirt and khakis if you’re going out and they would make a fine beach shoe. The only use that might not be good is as a shower shoe because of the fabric thong. For me the fit is perfect. I have a normal arch and longer toes. I can not comment on their durability because mine are new but they look sturdy.
great footwear... but BEWARE!! By J.B. from Charlotte, NC on 02/05/2009 Pros: Breathes Well, Comfortable, Durable, Good Arch Support, Lightweight, Stylish Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear, Going Out, Travel Describe Yourself: Alternative, Casual, Conservative, Stylish, Trendy Sizing: Feels true to size Width: Feels true to width Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: these are great... but BUYER BEWARE: Sierra Trading Post shows these with Vibram soles in the photos on their website but as i was disappointed to find out, they DO NOT have Vibram soles!!!!!! this was quite a letdown as i was really looking forward to that feature. STP should adjust their photos for this product and quit making this mistake. oh well...
By steve from knoxville, tn on 08/14/2008 Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: They seem a little tighter than most
Good but still could be improved By beach dude from Pacific Northwest on 08/04/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable Best Uses: At The Beach, Casual Wear Sizing: Feels true to size Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have other Chaco sandals and I decided to try the Flips. Good footbed and materials, but I felt that they were a bit narrow causing the sandal to "roll" a bit if you're a bit pronated. The straps were a bit snug causing blisters, as they were new, but I am hoping they relax a bit as they wear in and age.

I was sick of laying in bed at night w/ my calves hurting because of the cheap flip flops I wore. These are a little tight in the straps...I hope they streach out!! Great buy and great price!!

A little tight but slowly stretching By Chaco Lover from Jackson, MS on 07/22/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Durable, Lightweight, Stylish Cons: Strap Chafes, Strap too tight Best Uses: Casual Wear, Going Out, Travel Sizing: Feels half size too small Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought these for my husband because I have had the Chaco Zong for 5 years now and I LOVE them. But when we got these the strap was entirely too tight for his foot. After some persuading he decided to keep it to see if it would stretch out a little. After a week, it is starting to stretch out and is more comfortable for him. Had he tried these on in a store or bought them from somewhere with free shipping, we probably would not have gotten them or sent them back -[...]
