I have purchased Birkenstock, Vionic/Orthaheel, and Teva (Tirra) sandals, and now my first pair of these Z1 Classic Chaco sandals. While the other shoes all offered adequate (Birkenstock) to excellent arch support (anything Vionic/Orthaheel) these Chaco sandals are the absolute best. They sandals are firm with a rubber grippiness in the foot bed. The arch support is amazing! The heel cup helps to keep my feet in the correct position for every step and so it is less likely for me to supponate. The straps are easy to adjust although a retail store clerk had to show me how to adjust the straps just one time. I chose the black pair (ease of matching to most outfits) and look forward to buying another pair very soon.

I've been out walking in them in my neighborhood and they are super comfortable. I'm wearing them all day every day. So easy to care for. Love my Chacos.
