I've heard they like to "burn" in Paonia, CO but this is a bit scary

This is going to be an expensive carbon offset bill for the folks at Chaco. Hope all are A.O.K.

Pssst....

Heard a nasty rumor: Chaco shoes in 2008? I'll certainly look into the validity of this hearsay.

How do you get Gatorade out of your shoes?

My baby sister wanted to know how to get Gatorade out of her favorite pair of coaching shoes. I told her not to worry about it until they won the entire NCAA College World Series. Just have to give props out to my favorite and only sister for making our family so proud of her in what she has become. GO DAWGS!

R.I.P. another great Chaco product

Dang it, Chaco has decided to put the ax to yet another great product (at least for our store). The Chaco Andale line is no longer. I think I can understand this decision based upon what I assume to be Chaco's typical dealer. The Andale line are top of the line, all leather sandals based around Chaco's Biocentric footbed. They are very nice casual sandals and not typical fare for an outdoor store or for a store focusing on watersports. Therefore, while in our store we have many similar products, the typical Chaco dealer may not. For the correct foot, these sandals are second to none in fit, comfort and support (I've actually received prescriptions from podiatrists for Chaco Sandals). That doesn't mean they are without fault. The fit is a bit specific. I have found that the footbed runs wide but the uppers fit a bit snug on the average foot. Because of the pronounced arch, some folks feel a bit like the heel is negative (i.e. lower in the heel than at the ball of the foot like Earth Shoes). Despite their idiosyncrasies, these are great sandals, and  just like Chaco's hiking boots, they will be missed.
