Why We Like The Chaco Rapid Pro Sandal
Sturdy and grippy, Chaco's Rapid Pro Sandal is made for professional river guides and rafters who want professional performance out of their paddling sandals. This sandal features synthetic jacquard webbing for water-ready durability and a fully adjustable fit that we can lock in for comfortable rafting, wading, and riverside hiking and scrambling. The Rapid Pro's main calling card is traction— with sticky Vibram Megagrip outsoles developed specifically for Chaco that include 3.5mm grooved lugs designed for watery environments, rubber renowned for wet and dry grip, and biting edges in the toes and heels for better rock scrambling.

Rapid Pro Z/1’s from ‘08 Z/2’s,
Coming from a 2008 pair of Z/2’s, which I loved and lasted forever, these sandals are so comfortable. I love the extra grip of the new Vibram soles.

Absolutely Awful!!
Heard good things about Chacos - decided to try them. They are awful in every way - straps that dangle and rub, blister-inducing sole, and the straps are routed through the sole - so dirt gets trapped in there and they smell horrible after wearing a few times. Chacos has a guide to cleaning your sandals by “flossing” them. I paid a lot for these sandals and I now have to deep clean them after every use!!?? Avoid like the plague.

Great sandal!
The Chaco Men’s Z/1 Rapid Pro is a standout performing water sandal that blends grip, comfort, adjustability, and durability with finesse. If your summer adventures revolve around kayaking, paddle-boarding, or navigating wet rocks (i.e. fishing), the Chaco Z/1 Rapid Pro stands out as a trusted companion. It wraps your feet in confident traction, adaptive support, and thoughtful design–so you can focus on the water, not your footing.

Not for me.
The scrap by my toe ended up chaffing pretty bad. Wish I could return them honestly but of course I wore them. Build quality seems good. Kinda slow to put on which is a pain. Most of all I can stand the extra scrap just flapping about. You need the slack to get them on and off but they haven’t engineered anything to hold that slack. Seems like a lazy design.

Sizing is awkward
If these were sized the same as the normal chacogrip soles I would give them 5 out of 5, colors are great and the Vibram sole seems way better than the normal sole. They run about a half size too small compared to the normal Chacogrip sole and the straps are way too long. Unfortunately the size I normally wear was way too small and my toes stuck out the front and going a size up the straps couldn't be tightened enough to fit well.

My go to for year in and year out.
Great fit and comfort for all around wearability. Looks good enough for casual wear in social settings. Am wearing them now at my stand up desk as I wfh. Been wearing the Chaco brand for ~20 years, and the quality, value, and comfort have only improved

Great sandals
Bought these for my husband and he loves them. His other pair of chacos were worn on adventures over 10 years and these were a great upgrade!

These new sandals are great and very comfortable!
These are a replacement for another pair of Chacos and they are more comfortable than ever! The footbeds are very supportive and actually put a little spring in each step. The straps are and snug up real nice so as not to cause blisters or pinching while wearing all day.

Horrible footbed shape.
While these are really nice looking shoes with Vibram soles, the footbed shape is awful, and one that leaves my entire leg hurting for a week after wearing them. The outside heel hump is one that just does not work. Sadly Chacos would do nothing to help with this after I received them as a gift because it was after 30 days since they were ordered. Be warned, these are very oddly shaped sandals.
