Description of Chaco Z/1 Unaweep Sandal - Women's:

The Z/1 strap configuration features an open toe design so your toes can move freely and gives you the option to wear socks with these sandals.
Bottom Line: The Chaco Women's Z/1 Unaweep Sandals stay durable and comfy from the trail to the destination.
These Chacos are probably the most comfortable sandals I've ever worn! Great support for a high arch & attractive as well! I'd like to have another pair! This is from someone who has LOTS of different sandals - Teva, Reef, Rainbow, Mephisto, Clark, etc.
I wear these sandals all year round. In the winter you can just add some socks and they are perfect. I have tried pretty much every style of Chaco and these are the best mix of comfort and stability for me. I don't do the toe strap thing.
I got these Chacos several weeks ago, so I could break them in before my upcoming trip. I was thoroughly impressed by the design, plus they are stylish for a outdoors shoe.
Unfortunately, I had to return them, because the shoe was too narrow in the area between the arch and heel. Normally I do not have problems with shoes being narrow, but when I returned it and got a wide pair, I had no problems.
Also, I chose a different design for the wide pair, due to the lower price I found. The wide pair's design included the toe strap, which gives more stability, but I personally preferred the Z/1 Unaweep to the styles with the toe strap.
Overall, good shoe, just be warned that it may be narrow!
