My Chaco sandals are HEALED!!!!

[KnottedYet]

I'm a believer!

I sent my beloved right-foot Chaco Z2 (only 3 years old) that my dog ate back to Chaco to be repaired.

Got it back today! It's as good as new! Even though when I talked to the repair folks over the phone they said my web was out of stock (too old) someone must've found some, and they used it! (I'd said it was ok to use black to repair what my dog ate.)

Good as new (and washed, too) for only $8!

Now I've got to get my Z1's (7 years old) resoled. That'll cost me $40. Well worth it! They are so incredibly comfortable, and the dog hasn't eaten the straps off them yet.

Chacos are bar-none the most comfortable footwear I own. They make a (men's) fisherman's sandal that I'd like to get for work. Gotta have closed toes for work.

If you have Chacos, don't forget that they can be repaired! www.chacousa.com 1-970-527-7413.

Hmmm, I wonder if Teva can replace the footbeds on my beloved Pretty Rugged nubuck sandals.

Very cool. I'm all for repairable shoes, which is why I have like 7 pairs or so of Birkenstocks One pair is 20 years old and has been resoled a few times, another is about dead (daily wear shoes) but I can't bear to part with them. I have one pair of Chacos, but they haven't worn out yet. For some reason, they don't feel as comfortable to me as I thought they would. Feet are so persnickity that way, LOL.

Yeah, feet have their own minds...

I wore Tevas for years (since back when they came in S M L and XL!), but my feet like Chacos better. I've had a few pair of Birkis, but still the Chacos suit my feet better.

Darn Birki for dumping my favorite lines (Charleston, All-Pro). I can't even get soles for my All-Pro's anymore.

I love it when companies make shoes that can be REPAIRED. What a waste it is for us to have to toss a pair of shoes that only need a new sole or a new strap.

Hooray for repair! Hooray for Chaco and Birki and Dave Page (a cobbler who specializes in repairs and rebuilds).
