Chaco Z/2 Terreno Sandal - Mens
The Chaco Z/2 Terreno Sandal is perhaps the most secure sandal on the planet. Its Terreno outsole, thanks to its 8 mm thickness and deep lugs, is ideal for activities that demand an extra measure of traction and comfort such as hiking, traveling, and long-distance walking. The Z/2 strap configuration offers an adjustable toe loop that adds a measure of security to your forefoot, making them incredibly stable. Whether you're pounding pavement all day or you just want a great pair of sturdy, comfortable sandals, the Z/2 Terreno is the call.

Sandals that hike - word.
I've always wanted a pair of sandals with enough support and traction to head out for a full day's hike. Found it! These things rock, period. So far I've been on day hikes, trail runs, river trips and long boarding endeavors with these things and am yet to be disappointed. Good for anything you throw at 'em. Don't hesitate, buy some now.
The best sandals ever
These sandals are the absolute bomb. Definitely the most comfortable sandal I have ever worn and very supportive on the foot. The only discomfort is an occasional tightening of the toe loop, but once broken in they haven't given me that issue anymore and I love the support of the toe loop.
Don't like the toe loop
These Z2's are high quality and very worth the typically high price of Chacos but I wish I had bought the Z1's (without the toe loop). The toe loop tends to tighten up on me during extended drives. Also, I was descending a very steep mountain side and noticed that the toe loop tightened up a little there too. Overall I would still give them an A+ rating because they are great mountain/hiking/stream footwear and you can wince them down for excelent support.
Z/2
I wanted an ultra stable sandal and I got it. I wore my new sandals traveling around South America. I have heard the criticism that the toe loop can tighten up uncomfortably around your big toe. This is a valid criticism, especially when walking down hill. However with a big of use and dirt the strap tend to stay put, and I found no tightening problems after that. And I was very glad for the extra stability when scrambling down some very sharp rocky slopes in Chile on the border with Bolivia. When you are walking on the flat for ages the toe loop can easy be folded down so as not to give blister on you big toe. It can be folded down if you need to put on a wetsuit sock and go white water rafting in Argentina too! Unfortunately they are a little too heavy to clip to my climbing harness. All up I highly recommend the Z/2
Everything was great!
Thank you for a great price, great service, and sandals that my husband is enjoying.

Training Tips
Efficient running position allows you to run farther and faster. Keep the heel raise to a minimum, relax your upper body and hands, keep your upper body poised and quiet.
If you want to make progess in your training, join a running group. A commitment to meet on a regular basis with a group of like minded individuals will help you keep your focus.
An efficient long distance running stride will have you landing on your heal first and rolling to the front of your toes.
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.
