How to adjust Chacos for a snug, comfortable fit

Chacos sandals are a summer staple, especially if you spend a lot of time on the trails or in the water. If you're new to Chaco footwear, you might not realize that these sport sandals can be adjusted around your entire foot -- not just at the buckle. The webbing strap is a single piece that runs through the sole of the sandal, allowing you to pull it to get the right fit in all the right places. Take a look at this simple guide that shows you how to loosen Chacos and adjust them for a comfortable fit.

How to adjust Chacos with no toe loop:

 

Loosening your sandals

1. Pull on the buckle to loosen the strap all the way.
   
2. Loosen the top strap (nearest your toes) by pulling it from the end that is closest to the outside of your foot.
   
3. Loosen the strap that starts at your pinky toe and runs toward the inside of your foot by pulling the end closest to your toes.
   
4. Now that each portion of the strap is loosened, step into your Chacos.
   

Tightening your sandals

1. Tighten the strap that runs from your pinky toe to the inside of your foot by pulling the very top webbing from the point that is closest to your big toe.
   
2. Tighten the strap that runs diagonal across the base of your toes by pulling the piece that feeds into the buckle. Pull from the part of the strap closest to the inside of your foot.
   
3. Pull the strap that runs through the buckle to make the final adjustment.
