Customer Reviews Chaco Hipthong Two EcoTread™

First ordered these in black, but didn't care for the look of the different fabric/different width/same color straps when I tried them on. Exchanged them for the Sunflower color (wonder why the deep blue is called "Sunflower"?), and these are definitely much cuter. Fit is similar to my several-years-old Chaco Zong2s. (The Zong straps can be adjusted to fit a wider foot than these -- not a problem for me, but might be worth noting for some.) These are very comfortable and provide the same arch support as my old Zongs, which I'm still wearing almost daily. (Says a lot for Chaco durability!) I'd get another pair of these if they were available in a wider choice of colors.

This is my second pair. They're good looking, durable, comfortable and offer the best arch support I've found in a flip-flop style. (If I could caveat my rating, I'd say "excellent" arch support for the style.) The extra strap is great for keeping the sandal on your foot. I've never been disappointed in a Chaco product.

I have several Chacos now, and I love every one! These provide great support for your feet, and with the adjustable straps, you can make them nice and tight or a little looser on your feet. I wear these everywhere!

Great shoes. For all of the reviewers who griped about the elastic straps replacing the non-elastic ones on the original version...they are adjustable! They are comfortable and stay on your feet well without having to deal with the buckle around the ankle. Love these.

These Chacos are AMAZING. Good arch support, cute and adjustable. I have "surgically enhanced" Frankenfeet and require some arch support and a medium to wide width. These sandals fit the bill. They are comfortable and love that I can adjust the fit to my needs - tighter for walking, loser for bumming around the yard and relaxing. I've gotten many compliments and most importantly, my feet feel good wearing them!

I like Chacos sandals, I have three pairs of the Wrapsody style that was discontinued a few years ago. I took a chance on these and overall I am pleased with them. Others have commented on the straps being too tight and not adjustable, that is a nice feature that unfortunately is no longer available on this sandal. I lucked out and the straps work fine for me and the sandal fits well. I like the different colors that are offered as well, and the arch support is great as always. I wear these a lot for casual days mainly with jeans and shorts. Overall I give this sandal 5 stars.

Runs a little narrow. I have a wide foot and wear an 8. The 8 was just too tight...my foot kept getting stuck on the straps. I ordered the 9 and it fits perfectly. Love the colors...the purple is not too bright so it goes with anything.

These sandals are super comfortable right from the get go. Buy these! They are worth every penny and are cute too!

I can tell you that as a teacher who stands all day, woman on the go, and fashionista, these definitely fit the bill. They are comfortable, cute, and they don't flop around like so many others that have tried to pull off this look. I love them and own 4 different colors! True to size. If you are in between, definitely size up.

My doctor said no more flip flops due to fallen arches and bunions brought on by my twins pregnancy. This shoe is my answer. In fact I was having pain in my arches just this weekend and the only shoe that I could wear were my Chacos. It does run a size smaller. I usually wear a 5.5/6 and I had to send back the 6 for a 7. Now they fit great. I love these shoes!

I love these sandals! I have issues with Plantar Fasciitis and finding a comfortable sandal was a nightmare. I did some research and discovered Chacos. This is my go to sandal. I have had them since 2007 and I'm still wearing the same pair 6 years later. I bought another pair a few years ago of a different Chaco Style and different color. Love those too. I have young children and as a mom I need comfy sandals to run around in. These are great for walking. I can wear these for a day walking at the Zoo and I've never been able to wear sandals for walking before.

These are my most comfortable Chaco's ever! I have 6 pairs, different styles, and these really minimize my feet issues and can even take 1 hour walks in them. My only problem is how to wear them in the winter and snow with socks!

Best sandals I've ever owned. I'm on my 3rd pair. I work on my feet all day vending clothing at street markets and festivals. Superior arch support and they look good with a dress. They are also great for travel. You can slip them on with out bending over, and they are tight enough to dance, run, swim in.

I just got these sandals; they are my sixth pair of Chacos and the absolutely most comfortable pair of all. I love these sandals; I am just trying to figure out how I can wear them in the winter!

This is my second pair, I literally walked the tread off my first (three year old) pair and the straps are shredding. These are my summer walking shoes, I put miles and miles on them. I know they can be restrapped, but I want a new pair. I love these shoes. The arch support is perfect if you have high arches. I have suffered from plantar fasciitis in the past but not once since I started wearing Chacos. My feet are also wideish, and they fit great. If you have narrow feet you might want to rethink or try them on in a store. Anyway, happy feet in St. Louis!

I am officially a hipster with these shoes and I do not care. I started to get plantar fasciitis from running on a tread mill and wearing unsupportive sandals in the summer. These shoes are ugly, but dang they are so comfortable. Looks like all those frats know a thing or two about good shoes. ;)

Great shoes. I have worn Chacos forever. I am disappointed that this style does not come in women's wide sizes (at all- I searched everywhere) so I had to buy a pair of men's which are a little less dainty but comfortable all the same!

The elastic straps held foot in place but the "V" shaped webbing between two was too gappy! Not nearly as secure as other Chaco styles. On the bright side this model is one of the few Chaco styles that offers some security but does not interfere with bunions.

After having worn my chaos for 3 summers, I live in Northeast, the bottoms have become so slippery that I cannot walk up grassy hills without slipping. the bottom threads have totally worn out! Love the comfort, great arch support but after 12 months in total no longer safe to wear.

I read all reviews before trying these shoes, and agree with others that the elastic cross straps are not the best for holding them on. That plus the thong post is not as comfortable as a toe loop for me. My goal is super comfort (support, low or no heel, and shock absorption) in backless sandals that will not come off with brisk walking. Standards I am trying to match are my Abeo Topanga (Natural version) and my Orthoheel Vionic Mohave sandals. The sole of this Chaco is wonderful, and I am going to try the single strap Chaco Zong. If the toe loop tightens, I will use a reviewer's trick of taking a stitch or two in it. BTW, the Chaco Sleet has a different sole than Hipthong2 or Zong, and it isn't nearly as springy.

Got these about an hour ago. Put them on and walked around the house and out to the mailbox. The strap that goes between your toe rubbed so badly that I have a big red mark on my foot. The soles felt good and the sandal stayed on my foot. Sadly I think I will have to return these.

Always loved this sandal, but for some reason this year / this pair, the tongue / straps between toes was enormous. Even after tightening the side straps, the top of my foot kept floating around and slipping.

Oh Chacos -- why did you change a good thing?! I ordered these as a replacement for my old hipthongs, which are dying after three years: there is no tread left at all and the webbing is on its last legs. I loved my old hipthongs -- to death, nearly. I ordered the same size as before - an 8 (the size is still readable on the heel of my old pair). My toes nearly reach the very front and my heels are at the very back. the middle strap is elastic and is no longer adjustable, and the footbed (ie, the arch support, which always made chacos so much more comfortable than Tevas or other river shoes) does not fit the length of my foot. I will try sizing up to a 9 (there are no half sizes), as I rely on having a comfortable, substantial "flip flop" for nearly daily active summer wear, but if you are looking to replace your old beloved Chacos, be forewarned. Wolverine (Merrell) acquisition of Chaco was not for the better. (sad face)

Surprisingly tight - I have narrow feet and could not loosen the strap any further. Also tight in the toes.

I'm pretty ambivalent about this sandal, and I guess Chacos in general as I've also worn the Z1s. The construction is solid and the arch support is above and beyond (almost too much for my flat foot). But I bought these in hopes that they would be my go-to travel sandal that I would be able to walk miles in. Unfortunately for me that is not the case. These feel great on shorter jaunts in mild climates, but as soon as my foot starts to swell or sweat these then quickly become unbearable to walk in. The straps will rub and the footbed feels like a rock. But in other situations the sandal is quite comfortable....its like a two-faced shoe or something! Very frustrating! Sadly, I just don't think Chacos are for me. These did fit true to size and I had no qualms about the elastic straps.
