| BELYN BAA in urban cool Black |
Arguably one of the most comfy sandals we ever walked in …Chaco’s---
With a tagline Fit For Adventure™ (spot-on)…the brand's female sandals def. did not pass the style test IMHO....but give feet the relief they need, without a doubt.

| Leather Brown--- 12" Pull-On---CREEDENCE TALL (W) |
NOW---with the introduction of winter styles including gals' clogs, slip-ons and mid-calf boots---we think the fashion aspect of this well respected label ---just got a bit of a bump-up.
 |
| ARBORA TALL WRPF---Pull-On 13" Waterproof Full Grain Leather Upper with Side Zip---Waterproof! |
Men---get chukka kicks, slip-ons and Rancher profiles.
 |
| CREEDENCE Tall---unlined, 11" Full Grain Upper |
 |
| CREDEENCE BAA with full shearling lining on left. |

| OTIS Suede Leather upper |
Of note---special lug Vibram® outsoles that are the best---particularly desireable for us are the Vibram® Burly kickers for grip on winter conditions like ice.
AND---no shortcuts in quality anywhere---with all footwear highly water repellant or waterproof, fleece lined for extra warmth…and full leather uppers/suede that for the women… are whimsically painted, or nicely quilted.
ZAAGH BAA---Full Shearling Lining-Full grain Leather Upper
We’ve actually trooped through OR and New York's FFANY with a pair of the cute BELYN BAA---
---with Vibram® Burly soles, suede/full grain leather upper, that famous fixed ADDSTRIDE™ midsole that is like walking on a mechanical massage thingy---
Results---besides pampered feet---loads of positive unsolicited comments---from guys and gals---giving this kickers' nods of approval for style---and cause Chaco already has that great rep... interests in snagging a pair for themselves.
Men's ZOGGONIT---Waxy/Full Grain Leather Upper
ADDED PLUS: The RECHACO program---that resoles, lengthens, shortens straps, replaces buckles… etc---Chaco footwear by in-house technicians…”because old friends should stick around as long as possible” ---and out of landfills. BTW over 20,000 Chaco sandals---reworked to date. At very reasonable prices too===we were told repairs average $35-$40.
Styles we previewed $130-$250---very decent for kicks that'll probably outlast the wearer.
