Love them. Great for all sorts of uses. My friends and I all have them and use them in all sorts of conditions.

I have more or less lived in the Z/1s in the warmer months for the last 20 years. They are comfortable, durable, have good traction, fun color variety, and keep me going at work and play. I can't imagine wearing any other sandal.

These are wider than the previous model. They look good and are comfortable.

I've had several pairs of chacos now including the Z classics and rapid pros and have been hiking and using them for daily use for years. They are still the only sandals I've owned that never give me blisters, not even after 10+ miles. I prefer the classics of the rapid pros; the latter has the two parts of the sole glued and this glue failed on a hot hike after owning them for a couple of years. The classics have the sturdiest design and last for years even with intense use. The Chaco sole material also has more grip than the Vibram sole, although it's still quite slippery on wet metal surfaces (watch out for manhole covers in the rain..). Basically, I hope they don't change the classic design ever. The only downside is that they do get stinky at times, but that can be fixed by throwing them in the washing machine.

I recently purchased a new pair of Z/1s, and they are 1/4" too short compared with my older Z/1s. I've been a customer, furthermore a raving fan, for 21+ years, but now the product now longer fits. I purchased the next size up (size 12) to see if they would work, but they are too long for my foot plus the heel leash is too loose. I called for support, but half sizes are not possible and heel leash adjustments are only possible through the custom shop (higher cost vs. stock items plus additional lead times). As an engineer, I'm utterly baffled why such a change would be made that alienates existing customers. It's always easier and less costly to keep an existing customer than to find a new one. So sad to post this since I even have the "Chaco Professional" sticker to prove my brand love that started so long ago.
