The concept of hybrid comes out in the Chaco Hipthong Sandals. They combine fixed straps in the front of the foot with pull-through adjustability over the instep, creating a custom fit sandal.  The Hipthong will stay very secure for hiking, sightseeing or just walking around town, making this nimble slip-on sandal a great "other" shoe for your busy life.

Chaco's BioCentric™ footbed ensures a supported, comfortable stride in any activity and as a result, has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).

Chaco's Spring 2008 line up focuses on reducing waste and minimizing its enviromental footprint with its EcoTread. A durable outsole made of 25% recycled rubber. The sole is two-toned in either brown or gray to complement the season's new midsole colors.

  • Ladderlock closure ensures that the sandal will always remain securely fastened and will not wear out or clog with sand, unlike VELCRO® brand®
  • Polyester webbing does not absorb as much water as nylon webbing and therefore it will dry faster and will not stretch
  • Highly contoured footbed provides all day comfort and prevents excessice pronation
  • Sculpted heel risers provide rear foot stability and greater heel-side comfort
  • Straps are anatomically placed to ensure comfort and style, adjustable to a wide range of sizes, and designed to work dynamically because the foot shape changes when a step is taken
  • Chaco stands behind the sandals they make - any sandal with a defect in materials or workmanship would be repaired or replaced at their expense; damage incurred due to acts of nature (or dogs) would be repaired at reasonable rates
  • Made in China

    Best pair of flip-flops out there

    "I have owned a pair of these for about 6 months now and I love them. Like other Chaco sandals, they have fantastic foot and arch support and are very comfortable for all-day wear. I wore them today and did some light hiking in the mountains and they provided great support and stability while climbing around on rocks in river beds or along waterfalls. The additional straps really add to the overall fit of the ..." Read Full Review »

    A Chaco let-down

    "As an wearer of NUMEROUS pairs of very comfortable Chaco sandals, I have to say that the Hipthong sandals are a real disappointment. They felt fine in the store, however are difficult to keep on my feet during regular wear. This model is not for anyone with narrow feet...." Read Full Review »

    "tried these on as a whim and because they felt good bought them spur of the moment at the beginning of a casual trip in hot dry weather last june. no regrets - didn't wear any other shoes except running shoes (for running) rest of the week.

    "I love all Chacos but these are probably my favorite. I like being able to slip them on and having them stay on. I have the ZX/2 and they irritate a few spots on my feet but the Hipthong does not do that. I have them in Pebble and they look great with everything. I'd get a pair in black next. "

    "These sandals are an excellent casual sandal. Since I am a big fan of the chaco leather flip, as soon as I saw these in brown, I had to have them so I could have brown sandals that could stand to be wet and have the support of the Z/1 and Z/2 with the cross over straps. I just went on a cruise and t …"  Read Full Review »

    "The hipthongs are my favorite pair of Chacos. I own the flips flops as well as the Z1 sandals, but the hipthongs are the best of both. They have the great sole and arch support of the Z1's as well as the easy on and off of the flips. They are cute, but comfortable and rugged enough to wear all day l …"  Read Full Review »
