Spring is here, and for us, that means it's sandal season. And seeing as how we're always barefoot on the mat, we're fans of rocking sandals when yoga's on the menu.
Unlike Chaco's traditional sandals—which are renowned by adventurers around the world for their astounding abilities to hike and scramble—the Chillos don't have a heel strap and are designed for mellower activities. The ergonomically designed foam footbeds are comfortable underfoot for hours on end. Plus, the EVA construction makes the Slides much lighter and easier to clean than their leather counterparts. Oh, and did we mention that they float, too?
The straps don't cinch down super tight on narrow feet. For us, that was never a deal-breaker, seeing as how we're only using these in casual scenarios.
Tester Comments: "Whenever you're constantly putting your sandals on and taking them off, the Slides are rad. I've enjoyed slipping these on after yoga, a trail run, or a spring backcountry tour."
Best For: Casual use, trips to the lake, driving to the yoga studio, etc.
