Chaco Men's Zcloud 2 Sandal, 13

Ok, first, I love hiking, anything in the water, etc. So when I buy these types of sandals, I use them. That being said, my old pair finally stretched out too much to where when in a current of a river, they would come off. A friend of mine let me wear her chacos one weekend when my before mentioned stretched too much and we were floating the river. I LOVED THEM. The fit was wonderful, supportive, and they didn't slide one bit. I HAD to have a pair. Fast forward to this spring, I'm searching for the perfect pair and come across these. I read almost all the reviews, bc I'm thorough like that, I felt like I could make these work. WRONG. First, I am a 7.5, but I generally always order an 8, especially in sandals, to have a little extra room. I have normal feel, they're not "thick" they're not wide. Just...normal. So, I order these in an 8. they are WAY TOO NARROW and barely fit my feet length wise, the toe strap is also WAY TOO TIGHT. My toes are not fat in the least. So, no big deal, I ordered an 8 wide. They came in, they were a lot longer, no more wider. Lol. What? The toe strap? Still WAY TOO SMALL. So, I keep them anyway bc I'm impatient and want the wear them now. I figure the toe strap will stretch and the width isn't something where my feet are noticeably hanging over the sides or anything. THEY ARE THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SANDALS I HAVE EVER OWNED. They hurt the middle archway of my foot, I'm having to always tighten them up, and the straps that you use to tighten them is ENTIRELY too long.. they drags the ground, I step on them, my kids step on them. The worst shoes. Save yourself the time and the money and maybe try another chaco, or another brand all together.
