I hated this shoe when I first tried it on. The footbed was like nothing I've ever worn. It is not flexible and is thick and rigid, but after wearing it around the house for a few days I am in love. It keeps your feet in the position they are meant to be in and that is precisely what I was looking for. I love the adjustable straps and the fact that it has literally allowed me to walk around without limping. I have a neuroma in between the bones in my foot and it hurts like well, insert expletive here. My podiatrist told me I had to have surgery to remove it next week and I didn't want to. These shoes have allowed me to walk around without limping for the first time in two months! Not only is it cute, it's saving me from surgery. You can't beat that. Now I just wish Chaco would come out with more shoes like it that are in adult colors and styles. These are great for the beach or the mall but not so great for work or anything dressy. Awesome shoe Chaco, keep em' coming!

Cute and durable, but not as comfy as I'd hoped -
These are great-looking and made to last, but they're definitely not as supportive or comfortable for an over-pronator to wear for long periods as the BioCentric footbed technology advertising led me to believe. Taking that into consideration, they're overpriced for their performance. They run a bit big, too.

Though I bought these as a gift and haven\'t given them yet, I have a pair just like them in another color. They are the greatest! I thought my days of flip flops were over because of a bad case of plantar fascitis, but I can very comfortably wear these because of the straps across the top. They have great arch support! I want a pair in every color!!

These shoes are great. My physical therapist recommended them, I had never heard of them before. They are extremely comfortable with excellent arch support.

Finally, I can wear flip-flops! My sensitive, princess-and-the-pea feet do not like flip-flop-type shoes, but love the Hipthongs! The 9 was a little small, and the 10 was a little big, so half-sizes would have been better.

After months of searching, I finally found a sandal that has enough arch support. I have had serious heel pain for several months. The only thing that helped was orthotics inside of my athletic shoes - quite hot, not to mention ugly, for the summer. While I wish these sandals had a softer footbed, you can\'t beat the support (and they don\'t look dorky!).\r\n

Love these sandals! I suffered with plantar fasciitis from wearing cheap flip flops, but no more! Once I started wearing these and other sandals from Chacos, I am pain free. This is my 2nd pair of hipthongs, and I'd order more if I could find them in other colors. They are stylish, and so comfortable. My only nit is that the adjustable strap on the side is a little long, but I took them to my local shoe repair and had her shorten it by about an inch. They (the hipthong) are true to size, no break in period needed. Chacos, keep making the hipthong! (I also have the leather flips, which run small, so order a size up.) Zappos, you're the best in customer service!

I received Chaco's Z/2 Unaweep and am highly disappointed that they hurt my big toe so badly that I can't wear them for more than an hour or two. Not so with the Hipthong; they feel wonderful after a full day! They required a little bit of adjusting at first for a good fit, but have not needed any more after the first week of wear. My Unaweep's on the other hand need constant adjusting to loosen the cinch on the big toe. Go with these or the Z/1 Unaweep instead!

I recently ordered 2 pairs of Chaco sandals from Zappos. One pair was the Chaco Hipthong. It showed shipping two days later, (I ordered on a weekend) and I received them in less than a week. Zappo's was the only place I could find the blue hipthong. No one else had any blue ones left, and most didn't have any of any color left. The price was comparable to all others, that didn't have any left. Very pleased to have ordered from Zappo and will probably do so again.

Zappos is the bomb! Free shipping both ways and I got my Chaco shoes overnight! I love them. They are the best shoes ever. They have a really high arch and are very supportive. I cannot wait to use Zappos again in the future.

Super comfortable for a flip flop. Superior arch support and extra straps are adjustable and provide stability. I have worn them for extended periods of walking/standing from the time I received them-no breaking in. Cleaned up nice after our beach vacation, and I received several compliments on them. True to size- similar to Keen in fit. I have a wide foot and they fit great.

LOVE my shoes. I bought them before leaving on vacation and didn\'t even have to break them in. I even walked about 1 mile in them!

Great fit, great support. The placement of the straps takes a little getting used to. On me, the regular flip flop piece is a little loose, and the extra straps hold it on. Love it, but not for long walks. For that I wear my other Chacos - the Z/1 upsweep. In fact, I wear the Z/1 upsweep almost everyday.

In terms of sizing, they fit me similar to birkenstocks or clarks.

Good fit, good arch support. I love Chacos! This is my second pair, and I plan to keep a pair or two in my shoe wardrobe indefinitely. This is a shoe I can actually walk in all day. I give the style only 3 stars because, let\'s face it, this is not high fashion. But if that\'s not your main purpose, you\'ll love it.

I love my new Chaco flip flops. I usually don't wear flip flops because they slip around and don't stay secure, but these are the coolest. They fit snug and I can run and jump and even hike in them. The coolest thing is I ordered them at 9p my time and they were on my porch the next day when I got home from work. It blows me away they send them cross country so fast.

I was looking for a comfortable shoe that could go from land to water easily (for a river raft trip), so I looked at Chaco shoes and found this pair. They are perfect. Comfortable, yet nicely styled, durable and, being Chacos, they hold up to wear and to being wet. They fit well and are easy to adjust with the side strap. I love them.

I love this shoe. I have five pairs of Chaco sandals and love all of them. I normally wear a 9, but in Chaco I wear a size 10 and don't even think I could fit my foot into a 9. However, the support is excellent. I was having problems with plantar fasciitis and since I started wearing shoes with better arch support my problems have disappeared.

I was very happy with my Chaco Hipthongs. They provide a more supportive footbed than the classic Chaco flip. The extra strap also provides a little more stability for outdoor adventure. Zappos was great as well-- they had them to me the next afternoon! I definitely recommend both the Hipthongs and Zappos!

Nice sandals! I love the arch support. The extra straps took some getting used to, but they are fine now that they are broken in a bit. They seem very durable, and I love the color. Overall, these are great flip-flops.

Chaco Hipthong sandals feel true to size and are average (B-C) witdth. The sandal straps easily adjust to high arches and two feet that are slightly different in size and shape. They adjust loosening or tightening 1 buckle and then pulling the straps through the sandal base to the most comfortable position(s). Comfortable from the first day, no blisters. The materials are high quality, can be washed off with a hose; and I expect that these sandals will last well.

I was looking for a slip-on sandal to leave by the door. I wanted comfortable, easy on/off, cute, colorful, and able to wear in the rain. This one did the trick. After wearing other brands for years, and having sore legs/feet at the end of summer, I decided to give these a try. I read the reviews before buying, and based on the reviews I ordered an 8 (although I usually wear a 7 or 7.5). I had to exchange the 8 for a 7, but once the size was right, I've been wearing these sandals for weeks. I love them. They are comfortable (the arch really does feel great), they are adjustable (which takes a little time to get just right), and I love all the colors (I got them in red). I think another reviewer said that the sole is a bit stiff at first but that it loosens up with wear; I have found the same thing. They are a little pricey for sandals (I can't buy them in every color this season!), but I won't have to replace them in August either! I'll get another color next summer!

Love this style of Chaco. They support your foot like a gym shoe. I love that they can get wet and they still look like new. I wear them to the lake, garden, and pool.

Very comfortable, yet tough flip flop -
I was looking for a sandal that would be more conducive to walking, but I always have trouble with the back straps in Tevas and Keens. This is the perfect compromise because it gives more support than the typical flip flop.

Love-Hate my Hipthongs -
I love the convenience slipping into my Chaco Hipthongs. The color and pattern are also a favorite. My only complaint is the insole grid pattern is a bit too rough on the soles of my feet. Because of this I experience heel cracking more frequently.
