What do van lifers, river guides, and New Yorkers have in common? A lack of storage space and a distaste for single-use products. Sure, a GRIGRI belay device is fine to serve one function, but when it comes to outerwear, camp gear, and footwear, designs that function well in multiple environments will always reign supreme for us outdoors lovers operating on limited space. Now make that multi-functional item look dang good too, and you’ve got yourself some grail gear. Enter the Chaco Z/Sandal, a sandal designed for all day comfort and support—and style—whether rafting, hiking, or simply walking to the bodega for a coffee and bagel.
We’ve long been members of the #ChacoNation—and if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you are, too. Summertime Z tans are a sign of pride, from Denver to Portland, Brooklyn and beyond. Now, with the introduction of the Z/Chromatic collection, which makes the legendary design available in a range of bright and bold full-color solids, extends the strapped sandal’s range from function-forward outdoors footwear to a full-on fashion contender, too.
