Love me some Chaco's...

My family has worn Tevas, Chacos, and Alps for YEARS. It goes way back to the MANY river rafting trips my dad took us on as a family. Well, I don't wear Tevas anymore but I still love Chacos.I got these Chacos a couple of years ago and like them because of the high arch. The only problem is that I hate having to occasionally adjust the straps. I am lazy! I got these slip on Keens last year and absolutely LOVE them and the price was even better. The problem is that I have worn them OUT! Too many miles have been walked in these bad boys.I went to Soho the other day and ran across a great outdoor store called Mountain Sports. I wasn't going to explore the store but I am glad that I did. They had a ton of Chacos that were 60% off in preparation for winter. I had to buy two pairs....thank you very much!I was even happier about my purchase when I found out that another company bought out Chaco and so the future quality of the product isn't really known. I guess people fear that they wont be as good. Score! I got some good/cute ones before the new company takes over. Now cue the music to Happy Feet! ha!
