Chaco Women’s Hipthong Sandal
Chaco’s Hipthong sets the standard for easy wearability and cool, casual style. Its buckled webbing straps provide a secure but forgiving fit–and a laid-back look–while its massaging, contoured footbed and rubber sole provide complete comfort to every step.
The slip-on convenience of a flip combined with classic Chaco performance make the Hipthong a casual yet functional kick-on. With Chaco BioCentric™ support, fixed straps in the forefoot and pull-through adjustable straps over the instep, you’ll be hard pressed to find a slip-on sandal that fits as well as this free-heel style. The EcoTread™ outsole is made from 25% recycled rubber, reducing our impact on the environment.

most comfortable shoe I own, thinking about getting a second pair, my daughter has a pair and loves them too.
I own one other pair of Chacos and love them. A girl friend from college got me hooked on them. I love the newer style of the hipthong and have gotten so many compliments on them. These sandals are so extremely comfortable I could wear them all day! The only two negative comments I have is that the thong portion which isn’t adjustable is quite loose and doesn’t fit my foot perfectly, so it took some getting used to walking in the sandals. Also, like my other pair of Chaco’s, the adjuster strap is too long and hangs off the side of my foot.
I have owned several pairs of Chacos, but these are by far my favorite. I don’t use them for hiking or anything, because I prefer the original Chacos with the heel strap and aggressive sole for that. I use these for casual wear that is rough enough to go for a nice walk or down to the creek. The sole is much softer and cushier (and likely won’t last as long) than the hiking Chacos that have the heel strap, but this makes them much more enjoyable to wear daily. I work 9-hour days on my feet and these are the only shoes I’ve ever found that don’t hurt my feet after a long day. The arch support is good, but not as high as the hiking sandals. This is fine for me, and I have a pretty high arch.
The straps seem to last well, but the only problem I’ve had is delamination of the sole. The delamination is in the middle of the sole bottom, not around the edges as you would expect. A Chaco representative told me that this usually occurs from heat exposure (leaving them in your car, etc), but I typically only wear these at work. I just sent them to Chaco and they should be resoled under warranty for free. I have worn them almost DAILY for a year before this happened. I work at a restaurant running around, so I’m sure these shoes have over 500 miles on them before this happened.
For those of you who have trouble with toe strangulation (I do to!), these shoes are your answer! They don’t go around your toe, but they have aggressive enough straps to hold the shoe on your foot without a problem.
