Chaco was born in 1989 when a Colorado rafting guide decided to create the ultimate footwear for any adventure. What resulted was a versatile and durable sandal that could handle just about anything. While the Z/1 sandal is what Chaco is best known for, the brand has greatly expanded their footwear line to include flip flops, slides, boots, hiking shoes, casual shoes, and more. Whichever pair of Chaco shoes you choose, you can rest assured that they are built to last.
