Durable, comfortable, beautiful
I was looking for a sandal that was slip-on, waterproof, comfortable, and durable. I wanted to be able to walk for a long time in them and also wear them when swimming in a lake. I previously had the EVA Birkentstock sandal which was everything I needed but not durable and they got holes after 3 years.These Chacos will clearly last a lot longer than 3 years which makes me happy from a sustainability and economic perspective. They take a little time to break in and get comfortable, but they do feel good now. For whatever reason I tried another pair of the exact same sandal in a different color and they were super uncomfortable and kept coming off my foot when I walked. But these stay on firmly with the straps firm but loose around my foot. I like these a lot.

Good sandals, not for running or sports
Great product. I wear them all the time. They occasionally have to be soaked in bleachy water and have the foot beds scrubbed with a scrub brush like all Chacos do. These require that less often since they are not as tight to your feet as the ones with a back strap. Good arch support.

My Favorite Sandals
I came across these when Amazon had a super sale price on them. I needed to replace my old, falling-apart slide in sandals. Other sandals I tried as replacement either caused blisters over the toe area or I stepped out of them while walking. I had heard good things about Chaco sandals. These are comfortable to wear. Once you get the hang of adjusting the straps—not too tight—they stay put. I especially like the footbed. There is some arch support and there feels like almost zero drop from heel to toe, making these much more like a natural fit “barefoot” shoe, like I wear for running. The sole is thick enough so that you don’t feel rocks, etc. It appears to be fused to the footbed in such a way that I’m hopeful the soles won’t separate from the footbed like two pairs of famous-brand sandals did. The black straps and footbed go with anything, and their simple design appeals to me.

Very Comfortable
Am on my third pair. I got the plastic ones first but the strap kept pulling through. I have not had this issue with the leather ones

Quality not as good as other chacos
I just received these, and I'm somewhat disappointed. I own two other pairs of chacos, the Z1 and a Z2. I am in between sizes, a 10 1/2 so for this pair of slides, I ordered the 11. They feel small to me. I am at the max amount of strap and it's a narrow sandal for me. I just received them, and I really want to like them. There is a strap on the outside of my foot that is rubbing though. As far as quality goes, they just do not compare to the other chacos like the Z1 or Z2. They are soft. Some people may like that, but I like the hard rugged chacos. These feel like dense flip flops, dense foam or something. And upon closer inspection, I can see adhesive near one of the straps. Are these sandals going to hold up? I mean, I'm already seeing adhesive. The quality is nothing like my other chacos. The treads are nothing like the Z1 or Z2, they seem much more soft. I suppose for a wear around the house pair of sandals, this could work, as long as there is comfort, but for me, they are already not feeling so great. No way will I order a size 12, that would be far too big for my foot. I think the greatest disappointment to me is the quality of the shoe and the durability. I was hoping for a slide sandal made to the same quality as the Z1 or Z2, but these, they don't appear cheap to me actually. 2 stars from me, and barely that.

Stylish but Not the Best Fit
I recently purchased the Chaco Mens Lowdown Slide, and I have mixed feelings about them.Appearance: Let's start with the positives. These sandals look absolutely amazing. The design is chic and stylish, perfect for dressing up any outfit. The straps give them a modern, trendy vibe, and the color is exactly as pictured. I received numerous compliments the first time I wore them out.Comfort: Unfortunately, the fit is a bit off. While the sandals look great, they don’t quite match up in terms of comfort and practicality. The straps, while stylish, don't provide enough support to keep the sandals securely on my feet. I found myself constantly adjusting them as they would slip off with almost every step. This became quite annoying, especially during longer periods of walking or standing.Fit: Additionally, the sizing seems to be a bit inconsistent. I ordered my usual size, but the sandals felt slightly loose. It’s possible that going a half size down might help, but there’s no guarantee that would solve the slipping issue. The block heel is comfortable enough, but the lack of secure fit diminishes the overall wearability of these sandals.Overall: In summary, while the Chaco Mens Lowdown Slide are visually stunning and can elevate an outfit, they fall short in terms of fit and functionality. If you’re planning to wear them for short periods, they might work for you. However, if you need something comfortable and secure for longer wear, you might want to consider other options.Three stars for the style and design, but they miss the mark on comfort and fit.

Deluxe flip flops
I think the negative reviews are from people who expected them to be something more than nice flip-flops. But if you have the right expectations, they are great. They slip right on, provide good arch support, and are to wear in the places where you might wear a flip-flop. I like that you can wear socks with them when you need a bit more warmth
