Yahoo Lifestyle Our Best Walking Sandals Are Nearly Half Price on Amazon Right Now

One good thing about the winter is that it's a great time to take advantage of sales on off-season gear, like sandals. Case in point: Amazon has so many pairs of Chaco shoes on sale right now, and they will come in handy for your hiking trip or logging thousands of steps a day while traveling.
If you aren't familiar with the brand, Chacos makes all-terrain sandals that have adjustable straps to keep your feet secure. And our experts are fans. In fact, the popular Z1 Sandal was picked as our best overall walking sandal and even landed a spot on our best walking shoes list.
Women's Z/1 Classic Sandal
"These sandals are great for active summer adventures," says Emma Seymour, associate director of the Textiles Lab within the GH Institute. "I like to wear them on longer walks because they offer unparalleled arch support for my high arches compared to other sandals I've tried." She notes that the sandals are simple and airy, so her feet never get hot. "They don't protect my toes, so I avoid wearing them on rugged hikes," Seymour adds.
We've found Chaco shoes for up to 52% off on Amazon, and since many of their most popular pairs retail for over $100, this is a great time to grab a pair for your next hiking or walking adventure. Some styles have limited selection on sizes, or only have sales on specific colors, so if you see something you like, grab it before it's gone.

The editor-favorite Z1 sandal is 46% off, and the ZX2 style, which has a similar footbed, is almost half off right now. One of the main differences between the two styles, aside from the ZX2 having thinner straps, is the toe loop. Some people love the secure feeling of the big toe strap, while others prefer a strap across the top of your foot. Either way, you'll be saving a bundle.
Or, for under $30, you can get either these easy slides, or a pair of flip flops. While both have the support that Chaco is known for, you should know that these aren't meant for hiking or long walks. They're instead better for pool or beach days, wearing around the house or for running errands.
If you like a thicker strap, you might like the Mega Z option. Only select colors are on sale, but they feature chunky and bold patterns that stand out from the crowd. And if you aren't quite ready to dive into sandal season, Chaco even makes boots! The slip-on Fields Chelsea style can be worn for light hikes or to brave the snow since they have a waterproof upper, and they feature a contoured insole that can be removed.
