Not for: No insulation and an open upper — warm-weather footwear only. Shop all Chaco

Questions, answered

Before you buy.

Pulled from chats, emails and store visits. The things people actually ask us before they buy. Don't see yours?

Ask a question
Do these run true to size?

Chaco publish this sandal in big-kid US sizes 1–6 in a medium width, and publish no true-to-size note for it. The Adjust'em straps take up a little growing room without the sandal sliding around.

Can I get them wet?

Chaco publish no water classification for the kids' EcoTread. They do publish it as machine washable, and a webbing upper over a PU footbed is unharmed by water, so wet wear and a wash afterwards are fine.

How do I clean them?

Chaco publish the EcoTread as machine washable. Wash on a gentle cycle, skip the dryer, and air dry at room temperature away from direct heat — heat is what breaks down the adhesives.

Will the footbed mould to my foot?

The LUVSEAT™ is a moulded PU platform with a fixed arch shape; it supports the foot rather than taking an impression of it, so the shape does not change with wear. Chaco publish no moulding or break-in claim for it.

Are they good for wide feet?

Chaco publish this sandal in a medium width only. The Adjust'em straps open wide and then cinch down, so a broader foot is usually handled by the strap adjustment rather than by a different width.
