Chaco Outcross Evo 2 Water Shoe

Going in the water? Evo 2, if you’re like the Active Junky testers in Chile, slides between ocean and shore with high traction every step of the way.  Easy to pull on and fast drying when off, this shoe was a favorite in Valparaiso when any amount of walking was the plan.  A nylon shank for stability with a PU midsole made for a beefier built without bogging down in the waves.  Odor shield came into play as the days heated up even as the mesh upper kept its cool.

Tester Quote: “Sand and grit bother me in my shoes.  Evo (2) fought them both off with the neoprene sock lining even as our team moved between parking lot, beach and empanada stand; here they fry them.  The look is fairly stealth, how I like it.”

Best For: 2/3 water, 1/3 land with moderate walking
