Chacos: either you love them or you think they are the ugliest shoes on the planet. I absolutely adore my two pairs and wear them basically everywhere. I've wholeheartedly joined the "Chaco Nation," but others are still skeptical. But these shoes are just like your best friend, here's how:
1. They Accept You For Who You Are
They accept you for who you are, big monster feet and all. I have always had big feet. I have worn a size 12 since fifth grade. Do you know how many cute, size 12 shoes were available in the 2000s? NONE. I had to wear ugly men's shoes all the time. At one time in my childhood the only shoes that would fit my feet were Crocs. (You read that right, Crocs.) Good news was there was a very short amount of time at my elementary school that Crocs were actually cool. When I first discovered Chacos, I was elated that I could, for once, have the same pair of shoes as someone with a size 7 foot. Chaco's adjustable straps and extended sizes make them perfect for any sized foot.
2. They Don't Discriminate
They don't care if you're male or female. Chacos don't either. They have the same designs available regardless of gender. Are you a male and want some pink and purple Chacos? You can get 'em. Female, searching for a brown and orange solemate? You've got 'em too.
3. They're Up For Anything
They're up for an adventure, or just chilling. Chacos are such a versatile shoe they can be worn almost anywhere. Hiking, swimming, walking to class or shopping, they can do it all. They're easy to clean so go ahead and get them dirty.
4. They Are Diverse
There are so many different colors of Chacos. Every color of the rainbow. You can have neutrals, bright colors, pastels, patterns, anything you can imagine, Chacos can give you.
5. They Lift You Up
They're always there when you're feeling low, Chacos' footbed adds about two inches in height. Although I don't profit from this feature (I'm already six feet tall), other shorties definitely do. Want to look taller and keep it casual? Chacos are your go-to. Chacos also keep you elevated and away from the ground. That mean when it's raining, your feet don't get wet, go ahead and walk through those puddles.
6. They Can Do Both
They go with casual outfits. Rolled up jeans, skinny jeans, t-shirts and tops. They go with sporty outfits. Norts, tanks and headbands. You can even wear them with sundresses. They go with the flow.
7. They Stick With Us Forever
8. They Support You
9. They Remind You To Treat Yourself
Chacos show your toes (unless you rock Sockos) So they remind you to keep up with you pedicure, because who wants to see your crusty toes? No one.
10. They Are There Through Every Season
You can wear Chacos in almost every season. Spring, summer, early fall, and if you're brave, winter (especially if you have a mild Oklahoma winter). But even if you can't wear them in all seasons, they're anxiously awaiting the next time they can go on an adventure with you. (And chances are, your tan lines are still there too.)
