9 wide/8 wide Chaco Z-2 sandals

[zoom-zoom]

The womens wide Chaco is a similar fit to the older womens Keen Newport. It may even be slightly wider at the toes, depending on how you adjust the straps.

The new Keen Newport is far too narrow for me to wear any more. I was very sad to discover they'd changed the last. I got a pair of mens this time, and the clerk at REI said a lot of women had switched to mens since the change in the womens width.

I had always heard that the Newports were a little narrow. The ones I have now are a pair of their Venice H2s. There is a newer style that I like the looks of, but people say they are also narrow, so I may look for another pair of Venice H2s...or wide Chacos. So you have run HMs in yours?! Wow. I would think the straps would rub. Do you wear socks with them, then?

Do you wear socks with them, then?

Yup. Injinji socks, mostly.

I also wear the Injinji socks when it's a bit too chilly to go barefoot in the sandals. Wool (heavy) socks are quite nice for the Z1 sandals when it is cold. And while it is possible to flatten the toe loop on Z2 sandals to let you wear normal socks (essentially turning a pair of Z2 into Z1), I've never tried it.
Don't need to, cuz I've got something like a zillion pairs of Chacos...

Yep, she's the Imelda Marcos of Chacos One thing I found out is do not wear Injinji socks with normal shoes if your toe is broken and you need more room such as roomy Chacos

All of you have me looking forward to that package from Knotted with great anticipation! They sound great, and it is good to know the straps are adjustable. I've had foot surgery, and shoe/sandal fit has always been a problem.

I sent them in a Chaco box, which has a map in the lid of how to adjust the straps. DON'T THROW AWAY THE LID!!!!
