Chaco is an American footwear brand best known for their iconic Z strap sandal, the one that started it all. Chaco provides a variety of outdoor influenced footwear. A Colorado Rafting Guide, Mark Paigen decided to create an outdoor sandal that allowed feet to easily dry in the sun while also providing support. Mark first began making these sandals in his spare room and eventually started to sell his products in a small shop in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
