text: I bought these shoes at the suggestion of several friends, but I’m so sorry I did.  While the shoes are fine, whether I tried on the adult or the kids version, the buckle straps are just too long on me – they trail the ground and make an annoying sound.  I’ve also stepped on them and tripped a few times.  My friend suggested that I get them “re-Chacoed” but I just spoke with that department and it will cost me an additional $20+ to have the straps shortened ($10 for the service, $7 to ship them back to me, plus whatever I spend to get the shoes to Chaco).  This is just too much additional money to spend for shoes that are already so expensive.  I sure wish I had bought Tevas instead!
