I live in my chacos when its not cold (and I have the tanlines to prove it lmao). I'm looking at buying a custom pair, but I want to know how long the "Upload your own image" option holds up. Like is the image printed ontop of the fabric or woven or inked in?

I am a bog witch creek freak bay mud aficianado so I need to make sure if I'm dropping $140 they hold up. My current pair, which are featured in the video and are 3 years old, were on sale and I didn't care about what they looked like...they were just a steal.

Looking forward to hearing all of your experiences!

I wear a size 10 shoe in most shoes, what size should I get in chacos?

My Z1 Chacos recently cracked clean through the sandal. I had literally worn them the day before and they had been just fine until… they weren’t. 🫤 I’ve owned three pairs of these sandals and have never had anything like this happen before. For context, I don’t hike in chacos - the most wear they get is either standing on a paddle board or regular daily tasks. I’m really bummed and am hoping I can get a replacement pair since they’re only 3 years old. Has anyone ever had luck with the warranty?

Update: My claim was denied because they can’t repair it. I asked why they can’t replace it since it’s within 5 years and, apparently, the replacement is only good if it’s within a year of purchase (which is not stated anywhere on their website). Guess I’m swearing off Chacos 🥴 - anybody like Tevas? 😅

I was just looking at this article from Outside Magazine, and these Z1s have an extra strap across the top. Am I going crazy??? There is an extra strap there, right?! I can't find anything about this listed on their website or seemingly anywhere on the internet. There seems to be no mention of it anywhere at all. And in the article Outside just links to regular Z1s, which these clearly are not... What is the name of this style? Do they just like, add a strap for people with extremely long feet??? Someone please have the answer to this mystery!!!

Here is a regular Z1 from the Chaco website:

Hello, fellow Chaco enthusiasts! I moved to France a few years ago with two beloved pairs of Chacos and am now down to one (the straps finally gave out after one last swim in the lake; how fitting), with my sole surviving pair showing some obvious signs of wear and tear that have me looking for replacements. However, I have learned that the official Chaco site does not ship outside of the United States.

On the off chance that anyone has encountered this problem before, does anyone happen to know where you can get Chacos in France? I happen to be visiting Paris this week, so I could potentially have access to a lot more options if anyone has an idea of a brick-and-mortar store. Worst case scenario, I’ll buy some online and have them shipped to my friends who are coming to visit in the fall :). But if there’s a more immediate solution to be had, I figured I’d ask! Thanks a bunch.
