Should you size up or down in Chacos?

Generally speaking, Chacos run true to size. The reason why a lot of people size down is because Chacos don’t come in half sizes. So, if you’re between sizes, we recommend you half size down depending on your foot type. Thanks to the straps, you’ll get your right size.

Do Chacos run small or true to size?

Toe loop. When I asked Chaco on Twitter what the difference was between the Z/2’s and ZX/2’s, they responded that people with high arches should avoid the ZX/2’s and stick with the Z/2’s instead. The toe loop is known to self-tighten in the ZX/2’s on people with high arches.
