This is a release that I am pretty excited about. Chaco is coming out with a Pro series of there sandals. Now for most people you will already know that Chacos are bomber. That is unless you guide on a river or do something else were you are in them every single day. It is not that any of the sandals are bad, or poorly built, it is simply the amount of use they get. No sandal is designed to hold up to day in, day out abuse like that. To get one or two summers out of a pair is pretty good. Having a pair that lasted me thre
e summers was very impressive.
Well now with the introduction of the PRO series this might all change. I am looking forward to getting my hands on a pair to try out and see how they hold up.
*EDIT* Forgot to put what models are coming out. There will be the Z/1, Z/2, Hipthong, and the Flip.
Here is the list of key features from the press release.
- A new Vibram Idrogrip outsole for durability, extra wear-resistance and performance on the trail
- Water-evacuation channels that run heel-toe and move water away from the lug surfaces to maximize contact between rubber and ground during use in and around water
- Channels that run across the width of the foot that both evacuate water and aid walking motion by forcing the entire outsole/midsole to break and articulate during the walking motion
- Enhanced lateral heel lug for wear resistance at heel-strike and toe-off during walking motion
