My husband has foot and back problems.  Finding shoes that work for him is quite a task.  These do not disappoint.  The Chaco foot pad is one of the best and while the support is not quite as good as in the Chaco Sandals it is the closest he as found in casual boot. They were a lifesaver this winter.  They have a nice rich color and look great.  The only improvement needed is to extend the lace area.  If there were more laces it would provide additional support to the arch area.  He walked miles and miles in these shoes.  We will purchase them again.
