Im an avid Chaco lover and have been for over 15 years.  When they switched from a Vibram footbed to their own (to save costs and keep profits high perhaps?), I stocked up on multiple pairs.  One pair will last well over 10 years so I wanted to be set for a few decades.  I saw these and they appealed to me because they are essentially the regular Chacos without the back strap.  No Vibram footbed but thought I would give it a whirl.  Straps are perfect.  Toe strap does not tighten as you walk (an experience I had with my very first pair of Chacos).  Footbed? Not as good as Vibram.....but Ill settle in this case.  Perfect shoe for beach days without having to deal with the back strap.
