👟 Chaco Kids Odyssey Athletic Shoes - Black, Size 5 (Women's) Review

Although the shoes themselves are very durable and can withstand hiking (land and sea), they are VERY difficult to put on. In addition, it runs small, i.e. one size larger, at least the size of the shoe. The back is very stiff and it is difficult for a small child to put it on alone.

These are very durable shoes and I expect them to last through the summer but for an 8 year old it's just impossible to wear. Elastic band around the front makes it difficult to put on the shoe without a shoehorn. Putting a shoehorn in the box would be a great help!

These shoes are VERY small. They may fit your child's foot, but don't worry if you don't know that your child has an EXTREMELY small foot volume. My child's foot is "normal" and he couldn't use his foot at all let alone himself. I love CHACO but don't worry about it.

Had high hopes for them. I've had Chacos for a long time. Wanted closed toe sandals that my kids will hold up. Bought a size up, fits well but the power adapter was too tight. A significant amount of force is required to insert the legs. These are well made sandals but the mesh needs more stretch.

AWESOME summer shoes for our boys (4 and 7 year olds). Very durable and holds up well. Ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking and water sports. I love that they are very durable and the closed toe makes me feel better when running. Because the boys always find a way to get wet or find mud to splash around in, they are great and cum very well.

They are perfect, I followed my daughter's foot and ordered half a size up based on Chaco's recommendations. They have some room to grow at the top, they fit the foot well, there are no spots on them that rub the foot. I know they're difficult to put on, but I've found that you have to fully insert your foot into the shoe until the rear stiff portion is behind the heel until they stretch, then pull the mesh back over the heel have to. . It worked on the first try!

Oh my god they stink! I usually take regular Chaco strappy sandals for me and my son, but I decided to buy us both Odyssey shoes. The children's version, unlike the adults, has a completely closed heel and they also have no way of draining the water that gets into them. . It's a water shoe, so.?. Even if they are quickly removed and dried they stink, I contacted Chaco and they said to machine wash them and I will, but to be honest I don't see it going away. None of his other shoes smell that…
