Chaco Men's Bodhi Sandals

I own more than 10 chacos. I love all of them good quality and very comfortable. This pair is by far my new favorite.

I bought a pair of used chacos a while ago for kayaking. Not in a religious Chaco fan. I wear the slippers everywhere in winter. I call them my Urban Slippers. These are no exception to Chaco quality. I can do 13 hours at Disney, kayak and hike the red rocks in these. Great arches and the one strap makes it easy to adjust. No blisters ever, even with the toe divider. You’ll never regret a pair of chacos. These are a fun, cute shoes!

These are really comfortable right out of the box. With my ZX2, it definitely took a couple of weeks to break in the footbed. The only thing that I really need to break in with the Bodhi’s is the strap, as it rubs the inside of my 2nd toe (nothing a bandaid can’t help with).

They fit ok, but didn't look good on my feet.

These sandals are my absolute favorite. I walked and hiked all over Europe in them and they were comfortable and light and served me so well. I would love to buy in other colors.

As a long time fan of Chaco and it’s Z2 line, I think this new Bodhi design feels strange and disappointing. Big credit to Chacos for experimenting with new designs, but it feels this design narrows the fitting possibilities, at least for me. Here is why:With a Z or Z2, the “top bar” of the Z, which is a strap cross under the baseline of all the toes, provides a secure hold on the front side of one’s foot. With that, the position of the toe loop is less important. It can be at the base of big toe, or a bit higher along the toe. Either way, the fit on the front side is good and secure.With the Bodhi, however, there is no “top bar” of the “Z”, leaving the securing mechanism on the front side of the sandal almost entirely to the toe loop (and partially to the longer cross bar). Then, here is my experience: I tried two sizes. For a smaller one, the toe loop is more secure as it is at the base of my toe, but the overall foot bed is a bit small/short. The larger size (1-size up) has the reverse problem, where the foot bed size is good but the toe loop is now moved toward middle of the toe, feeling weird and loose.Another problem I feel is the two layers of straps inserting in between the big toe and the second toe. They are together too thick and feel really bulky and uncomfortable. In comparison, for a Z2, there is only one layer of strap.Given these two reasons, it feels that the Bodhi design may have a narrower range of matching foot geometry. But still, I appreciate Chacos for trying new things, but just can’t up vote this design.

My account doesn't reflex the refund as of May 2, 2025

Fit true to size and very comfortable. Took a couple of days to get use to inbetween my toes. Where every where!
