Chaco Z/1 will easily go longer than pretty much any other sandal when abused. I wear them fishing, kayaking, beach, hiking, etc in the Florida outdoors year round. They excel pretty much everywhere and will still be going strong long after the tread is completely worn down. I even managed to drive a nail half way through one that would have easily gone through any typical shoe or sandal.

There only con as far as I am concerned is they are comparatively heavy .
