Chaco Flip Sandal - Mens
The Chaco Flip Sandal does the basic flip-flop one better. Its shining feature is an incomparable, classic Chaco sole. Designed to support your foot like no other, the Flip's biomechanically designed footbed cradles every contour of your foot, and will not compress or wear out over time. The result is comfort and durability you simply won't get with cheap, dime-a-dozen flip-flops. Low-profile but super tough Colorado outsoles, made of legendary grippy Vibram TC-1 rubber, offer 4x4 traction on tricky terrain, withstand years of abuse, and are fully replaceable. And let's face it, these are one damn good-looking pair of sandals. For a day on the water or a backyard barbeque, the Flip is the ultimate.

bringing the flip flop to uncharted territory
Just imagine a slipper that can get wet and dirty but not slippery. And when they're dirty just step into the river to clean them off. I am going places with these I've never before gone with flip flops. FITTING can be funky. If you have a narrow foot or you want them to fit tight go with your normal size. But if you want them to fit like a hawaiian flip flop or have a high volume foot go 1 full size up. Also the footbed on this sandal is shorter than the same size Z1 or Z2. If you spend alot of time outdoors and want a durable flip flop, you can't go wrong here.
chaco flip sandal - men's
These are definately not the first pair of flip-flop style sandals that I've bought, but they probably are the last! the comfort and durability I have found in these is wonderful and I can't imagine them falling apart or getting those foot indentions any time in the near future. Very good buy!
Chaco Flip Sandal's Rock Sri Lankan Stylie
Great sandals; I've worn the full-foot ones before and liked them, but were a little too confining. Right now I'm living and working in Sri Lanka and wearing them every day. They just keep getting more comfortable! Buy these sandals if you’re looking for a sturdy, comfortable flip flop. They have great Vibram soles, the toe curls up a bit for protection, and the strap goes way back on the side of your foot for stability and security.
High Performance Flip Flop.
No "High Performance Flip Flop" isn't a political tactic, and though it may sound oxymoronic, it is precisely what separates the Chaco flip sandal from your average three dollar drugstore variety. Anyone who isn't seeing a therapist for severe control issues can appreciate the ease, comfort, and simplicity of a flip flop, but dependability is not usually an attribute that allows them to be used for more than beachwear. The flip is the exception; with Vibram replaceable soles, durable fitted straps, and anatomically correct footbeds, this thong won't leave you high and dry halfway down your next river trip.
Best set of flip flops I've ever owned.
There's not much one can say about these flip flops other then they're GRRRREEEAAAAT. Incredibly comfortable, both in the toe strap region and in the adequate padding of the shoe itself. After owning these shoes for a month, I can say that I would go anywhere in these that I would go in tennis shoes. Order a size or two up though if you like that extra flip in your flop. I got a 12 and usually wear a 10-11, and the 12 was perfect.

Training Tips
One of the most mentally toughening things you can do as a runner who trains daily is to add a morning run into your routine. This means you are doing two runs a day. The morning run is simply more of a mental challenge then anything else.
Have two pairs of running shoes, especially if you live in a wet climate. Consider replacing your shoes no later than 500 miles into the life of the shoes.
Proper hydration for a run includes drinking 30 - 45 minutes before you start and about a cup every 10 - 15 minutes while running.
One of the best ways to win a running race is to win it in your mind first. Visualize yourself running and winning that important race. The more often you do this, you will start to "feel" the race. Your heart will get pumping and your body will feel the effort required to get the job done.
