Chaco Sandals, from the nethers of Colorado, have arisen as the epitome of perfect footwear. They have it all: simple unique design, attention to fit, durability and the ethos to back it all up. I originally found Chaco at a small booth at the Outdoor Retailer Show in Salt Lake City over 10 years ago. We have carried Birkenstocks at our store since 1984 and always loved their design and fit but were consistently disappointed in their outdoor and active performance. When I saw the universally adjustable Chaco Z1, Elan and Tokay sandals it was love at first sight. With it's high arch and rear flanges, the Z footbed was a clear stand out. Chaco Sandals became the perfect compliment to our sandal selection and in recent years far outsell even the tried and true Birkenstock in our store. Chaco has gone from it's humble start as a well conceived rough river sandal that wouldn't sell out like it's familiar neighbor on many shelves to a universal sandal for those who want comfort, support and both durability and sustainability in their travel, leisure and active footwear. Just ask any river monkey and they'll tell you, Chaco can't be beat!
