Chaco Z/2 Classic, With Toe Loop,9 W

Size 9 is a perfect fit for size 9.5 feet. I recently tried Chaco sandals for the first time; and I can't believe it took this long to discover they make their shoes with an orthotic footbed. The footbed is perfect for my feet. The sandals are so comfortable. These are identical, except for the color, to my first pair. I was afraid the toe loop would bother me, but it didn't. Also, I prefer slides, but these are so easy to put on and take off. Just pull up on the buckle to loosen; and just lightly pull on the strap to tighten. My first pair were custom sandals; so I wasn't expecting a large looped tag on the underneath side of the end of the strap, where you pull the strap to tighten your sandals. I may have to cut that off, because it's so big, cumbersome, and keeps the strap from laying flat. Kind of ugly and annoying. I get compliments about these Sandals, just like my other custom ones. Other than the tag, the only thing that bothered me about this purchase is that this seems to be a return item. You can see in the photos that one of the shoes was obviously worn and has dirt and crud on the bottom and front. When I opened the shoe box, I immediately knew this was a return item, because the Box only contained the shoes and a misshapen insert. Upon close examination of the shoes, I discovered what I already described on one of the shoes. I didn't notice any damage, though. Let's hope I'm right about that. I needed the shoes and the price was right.
