Customer Reviews Chaco Kids Z/1® Ecotread (Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid)

I absolutely love these shoes! I can wear a woman's 5 (running shoe size 6½!) and I bought the kids' size 3. They fit like a dream and feel so good. The directions on getting the perfect fit were easy to follow. The Chaco website has a good video, too. I highly recommend these shoes!

Seems like a well made sandal, but it runs quite big! My son wears a 4 or 4.5 in sneakers, but the 4 in these Chacos is so huge on him. We are going to try going one size down. The straps are adjustable for a more comfortable fit, so that is nice.

Super Comfortable! The straps are held firmly in place, but can be adjusted. My son has a "regular" but slim foot, and we pulled the straps as tight as they would go, and his foot still slides a bit side to side. The extra inches from the strap drag in the ground. If your child has a narrow foot, this is not the shoe for you since it just barely works for us.

I wear a women's size 5 and often look at the kid's size 3 when purchasing shoes, which can be up to half the cost of the women's version. Usually, they are not just the women's shoe with a different size label and "kiddier" color selections. Particularly on athletic shoes, the kid's version tends to be less supportive than the adult shoe. I ordered the Chaco in both ladies & kids to compare. They were both exactly the same length and width. The ladies shoe is a bit heavier with a thicker sole. In terms of comfort, the ladies shoe was much more supportive in the arch area. While, the kid's shoe was comfortable, I am going to go with the ladies, despite the extra cost, as I am going to be doing a lot of walking over the summer. If I was just wearing them around town, the kid's shoe might be fine.

Tried the women's chacos in size 6 and the arch was to high and hard. Purchased the big kids size 4 and the fit was perfect. I found the kids ecotread to be a softer, lighter and more pliable footbed. Watched a YouTube video on how to adjust the straps and now I have a custom fit. The low heel cup and high arch makes for a different feel and fit and it took some time to get used to but now these are my every day shoe. I even wear them on my daily 3 mile walk. As a retired nurse with a history of plantar fasciitis, I've learned that a supportive shoe is essential. in addition they are very well made, washable and look like new after heavy use. At half the price of the adult version, these are an outstanding value.

I bought a size 6 Big Kid for my 12 yr old son. He loves the sandals and says they are very comfortable. Don't forget to look at the instructions for learning how to adjust the straps, all the straps are adjustable including the ones around the bunions.

I wear a women's 7.5 to 8 and the kids 6 is perfect. Very comfortable. Great support for outdoor activities.

Got these for my daughter for the summer and she loves them. We were able to get the child size and save some money she normally wears an adult womens 7.

These are my ride or die go to's. I absolutely adore these sandals, I'm an adult but have tiny feet and these are literally perfect in every way. Far more comfortable than any of the adult sizes I tried, they are immediately soft as a cloud and just wear beautifully. I do wish they were a little easier to adjust the straps but I can't say enough good things about these sandals.

I wear a Women’s size 8 or 8.5 (and have a wide foot). I ordered a kids 6. These fit great and have nice arch support. Please with the fit and price!

7 1/2 running shoes, 7 in most other shoes had to size down to a 5. Super cute and comfortable and so much more reasonably priced then others. Love

My son loves these sandals.

Love this sandal!

Ordered these for my son and he loves the

Perfect

Chacos are always great

A great shoe for hiking or amusement parks or just every day use.

Chacos are ALWAYS AMAZING

An excellent adventure sandal. The sizes do run a little bigger than typical boys sizing but I was able to get a comfortable fit by adjusting the straps.

Chacos never disappoint! They are great shoes for water activities and don't stink after a good rinse off.

My son loves Chaco sandals! We order a pair every year for visits to the pool

Awesome fit and support. I’m a women’s 8 and the youth 6 fit great.

I wear some adult 5 or children's 3 - these fit great. A little bit of a learning curve with the Chaco brand straps .

Super cute for the kiddos!

Well made and comfortable. Unfortunately, these were too narrow for my son’s wide feet.
