Customer Reviews Chaco Petaluma MJ

I LOVE my Chaco sandals (Z1 Yampa) for the support they provide and alleviation of my plantar fasciitis. I thought I would be getting the same footbed with these shoes. They are marketed as having the same "Luvseat" footbed but in fact they do not at least as far as I can tell comparing the two. Which goes to show how much marketing (e.g. smoke and mirrors) goes into peddling these Chaco shoes. They are not bad shoes but if you love your Chaco sandals don't be fooled into thinking these offer the same support they do not. What is missing is the same arch support and heel cup as the sandals.

Searched for shoes that would be supportive, fun, and take away my foot pain (neuroma and fallen arches) -- these did it! I ordered black and gunmetal and can't seem to wear anything else for during the week. Great fit and so comfortable! Love them! Usually a 7 1/2, but I they were short in the toebox, the 8 is perfect.

I wanted cute, comfy shoes to wear after biking all day on my recent trip to Wisconsin. These Chacos are perfect; they look good with slacks or a skirt, can be worn with or without thin socks; they are so cute! They fit beautifully right out of the box - always a little scary to buy shoes right before a trip! I have wide feet and high arches, and I love the fit. I've worn Chaco sandals for years, and they always make my feet feel good, and these MaryJanes do the same. I'm very happy with my purchase.

I have "special feet" meaning that I have narrow heals, wide toes, and very high arches. I also underpronate, and I need a shoe that offers some stability when I walk. These shoes do an excellent job of meeting all my needs, and they are cute! I hope to buy a second pair in a different color in the near future.

This is the second pair I've had, different color this time. Great support and comfort for work when I'm on my feet 6 to 8 hours at a time. Like an athletic shoe in a much cuter style!

This shoe is tight at the back. Likely to rub the skin off my foot. The arch is not nearly as good as the Zappos sandals. Returning it.

I wasnt sure about these shoes based on a few other reviews but for me they are great. My only issue with the shoes is that the straps going across the top of my foot seems to get twisted easily. I cant tighten them more or they will dig in. I wore them the first day for 4 hours and they felt like old friends!

This is a great neutral-colored shoe. Even the green straps are low-key. I wore them all day the first day out of the box and they were terrific. My coworkers complimented them as well!

I'm a Dansko fan, but needed something with similar arch support that wasn't quite so clunky. This shoe is excellent and provides the same type of support, with beautiful styling. Perfect!

I have worn a pair of these for two years and have loved them. I bought this new pair so that I had a back up. These are truly the most comfortable shoes I have worn in years, and I chose them not only for comfort, but for the good arch support.

I loved these shoes and they are SUPER comfortable, but a little big in the toe box for my more narrow:normal foot. And I still almost kept them because they are so cute and comfortable. But alas, two new pairs of shoes (Keen and Jambu) were enough this time around.

Great arch support, but I must have ordered too small a size so must return. I like how adjustable the strap it and the sturdy construction of the shoe.

Cute, sturdy, great toe box and the strap is something you can depend on. However, the cut-out area in the front annoys scar tissue from surgeries. I am keeping the Dansko, which has a strap that I do not like as well.

Shoe fits perfectly, looks nice and very comfortable. So happy with the shoe. Thank you.

I am an 8 and I ordered an 8. I am wearing a thin cotton sock. I already love these shoes as much as my 3 pairs of Chaco sandals. I've already walked a 5-mile walk in them. Can I get a black pair and brown pair, please!

I really like this shoe. Purchased with the purpose of a walking shoe that could do very light hiking if needed. I needed something a little dressier than a plain hiking sandal. I have a wide toe box and these fit perfectly. The color is lovely.

If you wear orthotics in your shoes, these shoes work great. Unlike the Chaco sandals, this has a removable foot bed and a very wide toe area. I also have a neuroma and sometimes the outer side of a shoe is just too narrow and pushes on my pinkie toe, even if the whole footbed is generous on space. This shoes has plenty of space all around the toe bed. The strap holds the shoe on great, I find some mary jane style shoes have a meager strap and the shoe slides around. Not this one.

These shoes are wonderful! I wore them for the first time on Saturday and was on my feet working as a wedding photographer for over 10 hours. My feet felt great at the end of the day and were not sore or tired at all! Such a change from my previous work shoes. I would highly recommend these shoes for comfort, style and great support.

I love these shoes! My feet do not. Very sad, they have to go back. Hope someone else loves them and their feet love them!

The arch support and width were adequate for my flat feet and I usually wear a W/C width. They felt that they were a half size too small. Very nice shoes, comfortable and nice looking. It was hard for me to return them. Thank you Zappos for your return policies as I cannot find my size in stores.

These are really comfortable from the first time I put them on. I did have to exchange for a full size smaller than I usually wear.

These are absolutely amazing shoes! Great design, so easy to flip the buckle, very happy to have an adjustable strap that is not Velcro! These are super cute, extremely well-made, comfortable, great traction multi-use shoes - I wear them for walks and hikes and for everyday, you can even dress them up a bit with a casual dress or skirt. I absolutely love these - I got them in two colors!

Finally! I have tried dozens of shoes in similar style and could not find one to accommodate my need for extra width and good support! These are adorable and feel divine! Ordering my second pair right now.
