Lowdown

Lock into the Lowdown Sandals from Chaco

Built for travel and life on the go, these lightweight sport sandals are slimmer-profile and nearer to ground for a natural underfoot feel. The upbound-EVA construction offers high rebound that won’t easily compress with wear, and thoughtful exclusion of all animal products mean they’re vegan as well.

Engineered with Chaco’s contoured LUVSEAT arch-support that promotes healthy alignment, the corrective footbeds are accepted by the APMA (American Podiatric Medical Association) and feel fantastic on foot or after long runs, hikes, and workouts. Perfect for globe-trotting travel, vacations, or just time spent outdoors or in the water.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the sandal. Some mention that the build quality, fit, and comfort are spot on, with no issues with material. However, others say that the quality is inferior, flimsy, and the stitching is poor.

"...I.e. will my muscles weaken :(Yes, these do run large. I ordered towards the lower end of my range, and could have fully gone down...." Read more

"...The straps are all adjustable by just sliding them through the slits and the adjusting the single strap. I would buy them again for sure." Read more

"...With its cult following I figured I’d give them a try. The style and color is cool, the fit is what I’m not a huge fan of...." Read more

"...A minor issue is that the strap for each shoe hangs on the side and looks odd. One person offered to cut it, but I passed on the offer." Read more

"...Joking aside, expect stabbing pain in your feet. The extremely poor design creates pinches and pressure points everywhere...." Read more

17 customers mention11 positive6 negative

"...Great sandal, much lighter weight than other Chacos" Read more

10 customers mention3 positive7 negative

Customers are mixed about the traction of the sandal. Some mention it's very tough with good traction, while others say that the strap loosens and their foot slides all over the place. The length of the webbing allows their entire foot to move as they walk. The sandal drags on the ground and is constantly stepped on.

"...I hate them a lot. First off, the straps hang to the ground, dragging in the dirt, getting under the foot when I walk...." Read more

"...of the strap causes the toe-end of the sandal to get floppy and catch on the ground...." Read more

"...After some minor adjusting the sandal feels very secure to my foot, but there is a little excess webbing that will drag the ground...." Read more

"...When walking this strap loosens and your foot slides all over the place...." Read more

"I love the design on these. The colors are nice and the price point is pretty good...." Read more

"Size is right. Good quality for the price" Read more

Some customers also mention there didn't seem to be enough strap to make them fit.

"...and the shoes fit well, A minor issue is that the strap for each shoe hangs on the side and looks odd...." Read more

"...The strap is pulled so firm that it's almost hitting the ground. (And yes, I still fully release it to comfortably get them on & off)" Read more

"...straps the right sandal requires a lot more tightening and leaves a very floppy strap whereas the left sandal not so much...." Read more

"...The strap loosens as you walk so you have to tighten it about every 5 to 10 minutes and depending on your age and agility that may be an effort...." Read more

This is the first pair of Chaco sandals I have purchased. With its cult following I figured I’d give them a try. The style and color is cool, the fit is what I’m not a huge fan of. One sandal wears different then the other. Looking at the straps the right sandal requires a lot more tightening and leaves a very floppy strap whereas the left sandal not so much. Also left sandal holds more securely to the foot. Maybe a manufacturer error, but I won’t be buying again, and will likely donate these $50+ pair of sandals. Certainly not worth a $100 that I have seen others go for.
Thank you for your feedback

I don't usually rave about sandals,but these are really fantastic. They look great, fit great, and feel sturdy enough to stand up to years of world walking.
Also, they were $25 off, and they arrived 2 days early.
