BORN ON THE RIVER
Our founder, a Colorado rafting guide, started 'Gecko' sandals out of his home in Paonia, Colorado. His 'Ultimate Sandal' focussed on maximum comfort and durability. Geckos, with their suction-padded feet, became a symbol for the sandals traction in churning whitewater.
ONE STRAP, ONE SOLE
Our first innovation still holds true today. Each pair of Z sandals features webbing straps that wrap around the foot and through the midsole. This adjustment system offers the industry's only fully customisable fit, and the guarantee that your sandals won't fall off in the river wild.
LONG LASTING COMFORT & SUPPORT
Our LUVSEAT(TM) Footbed is found in every pair of Chaco Footwear. Its contoured design naturally cradles the foot for healthy alignment and a more efficient stride. But don't take our word for it. All Chaco styles are certified by podiatrists as being supportive and comfortable for all-day wear.
