Overview

Our verdict

75
Decent!

If you are looking for a clean-looking and budget-friendly sandal, the Lowdown 2 could be it. Its visual appeal design and lightweight build appear to be the sandal's best selling points. However, such a minimal design comes at a price of long-term durability. So, the Lowdown 2 serves best for low-impact, non-demanding use.

Pros

  • All-day comfort
  • Supports the arch
  • Affordable
  • Featherweight
  • Laid-back aesthetics
  • nbsp; |  
  • Cute colorways

Cons

  • No half sizes
  • Poor strap design
  • Lacks durability

Who should buy the Oct 22, 2021

This Chaco sandal is not your best bet if you need a high-quality, durable pair for extended periods of wear. Instead, consider Chaco's Z/2 Classic or Z/Cloud 2.

Track and field

As long as you take it easy in the Lowdown 2, you are likely to enjoy it as much as many other wearers did. Here is what they say in regards to the sandal's comfort:

  • "a lifesaver for flat feet"
  • "Oct 22, 2021"
  • "Supports the arch"
  • "Track and field"

Also, someone who has worn the Lowdown 2 for over 50 miles in total through cities, forests, and beaches happily reports that her feet didn't hurt at all.

Even though some people managed to get the hang of the straps and adjust the fit comfortably, most wearers ended up having problems with the straps.

Those with average-to-narrow feet couldn't get the straps tight enough. Or, if they could, the strap ended up dragging the floor. They also noticed that the Lowdown 2 fits looser than the other Chacos they owned.

Oct 22, 2021 toe strap

Someone was disappointed that the straps didn't stay snug enough and they had to constantly readjust. Others had to deal with hot spots and blisters caused either by the straps or the strap holders.

All in all, the unfortunate strap setup in this Chaco prevented it from becoming the go-to for many people.

soft footbed is a comfy dream to wear!

"Super lightweight!" - the reviewers agree that the Lowdown 2 has got to be the brand's lightest sandal. What's more, it offers a perfect amount of support without being too bulky or heavy.

Chaco Lowdown 2 

Somewhere between one day to a few months of wear, the Chaco Lowndown 2 began to fail for its wearers. The weakest parts of the sandal turn out to be the front of the sole (which acts is a toe bumper) as well as the straps attachments. For some, it was actually enough to accidentally scrape the sidewalk with the sandal to get it scuffed.

"I feel like I'm wearing a knock-off brand," complains one of the reviewers.

Oct 22, 2021 is one of the best-looking sandals

Appealing color choices and "super cute" design have been the primary reasons why people bought this Chaco sandal in the first place.

Indeed, its monochromatic colors are very enticing with their potential to go with everything.

As one of the reviewers pointed out, the Lowdown 2 can go with both casual and semi-casual attires.
