Will Chaco Straps Stretch?

Do not put your Chaco sandals in the oven!
To stretch out the straps so that they soften up a bit, I suggest that you get them really wet as soon as you can. So, walk through a creek or in the crashing waves at the beach. Or, you can just wear them in the shower or use the garden hose on them.

How tight should Chaco straps be?

Now that your sandal is loose, we are going to start tightening the straps. Working from the inside, pull the front strap up until the strap that crosses the top of your foot, from instep to just behind your toes, until it is snug (labeled 1 in the diagram).

Is Chaco toe strap uncomfortable?

They are, however, a bit more of a pain to put on and take off. You can wear socks with them around camp if you are okay with smooshing the loop down under your toes--some may not find this comfortable. As for break-in, Chaco offers several different soles.
