With Keen and Teva, it is one of the world's top three sandal brands, and the only pair of top-of-the-line sports sandals certified by the American Podiatric Medical Association. In 1989, Chaco created the world's first pair of sandals that were not hook-and-loop fasteners, and instead used a fastener called a "four-step buckle" to fasten the webbing. Chaco's lacing system is also different from all previous shoes, with only a movable webbing that shuttles between the structures, and even the part buried in the sole can be adjusted to its length by pulling it to fit the foot 360° and wrap the foot in its entirety.
 
Chaco sandals are mainly divided into two categories: "No Toe Loop" and "Toe Loop", and the most classic models are Z1, ZX1 and Z2, ZX2. Among them, the Z/2 Unaweep men's sandals are very popular with outdoor sportsmen. The polyester webbing is wear-resistant and quick-drying, and the die-cast three-dimensional footbed design and clip-on design can control the feet to fit the upper; The midsole is made of lightweight polyurethane material for reliable cushioning. The BioCentric insole is non-slip, soft and comfortable, the sides of the heel are specially raised to increase walking stability, and the bulge at the arch of the foot makes the sole of the foot feel like stepping on a hump. The non-marking rubber Vibram outsole has a very wide gap between the toe cap and the heel teeth and ears, and has good drainage capacity; The folded rubber is durable and wear-resistant, the cross-sectional tooth lugs can increase the grip and force of the slippery road, and the thick tooth lugs increase the contact surface and make the shoes more stable; In addition, it can be thrown directly into the washing machine and washed.
 
The price of Chaco sports sandals ranges from 400 yuan to 800 yuan, and the current domestic online franchise channel is on Amazon. In addition, the logo of the Vibram outsole is marked underneath: non-marking, which means "a carbon rubber-free outsole that does not leave marks on the floor when traveling". According to the official website, the outsole can be replaced, and the cost is basically about half of the retail price of the shoe itself.
 
Chaco also has a professional river tracing shoe series, OUTCROSS EVO, which uses mesh cloth and polyester jacquard webbing combined with synthetic leather upper to facilitate drainage and sand drainage; Designed for bare feet, the EVA layer has good resilience, the PU midsole has high shock absorption, and the NON-MARKING Vibram non-slip outsole is enough for a versatile outdoor shoe that can be used in the ever-changing and complex environment of river tracing. The price is more than 1,000 yuan, which is slightly higher than the sandals.
