The simplicity of flip-flops forged from materials usually reserved for heavy-duty footwear.

Flip-flops are not usually associated with walking much further than from the dressing room to the pool but the Chaco Flip thong is different. Chaco paired a rugged non-marking Vibram® outsole with their supportive BioCentric™ polyurethane footbed to create a bomber thong. In fact they can actually be resoled. No the Chaco Flip women's thong doesn't look like a hiking boot with a toe strap in place of a leather upper. It still has the low-profile look of a typical thong but the contoured BioCentric™ footbed provides underfoot support absent from most other flip-flops aligning the foot for an efficient biomechanically correct stride. Whether stumbling into a tourist trap or sliding them on at the car after a backpacking trip the Chaco Flip thong feels great every step of the way.
