The origin of sandals dates back to ancient Egypt, where the footwear was originally constructed from palm leaves and papyrus. As time and fashion progressed, the silhouette began to emerge in all kinds of shapes including gladiators, flip flops and even wedges.
Since 1989, Chaco has been the go-to brand for outdoor and hiking sandals, where the design merely consisted of a single adjustable VELCRO® strap that looped around the foot through the sole. Over the years, fashion brands have incorporated their own unique twists to the everyday summer essential, which have now been adopted by designer brands like Prada, Moschino and more.
