Chaco Scion review

Who should buy the Chaco Scion

The Chaco Scion is a lightweight, breathable hiking shoe with a barely-there feel best suited for:

• light hiking and city-to-trail adventures
• recreational walking, travel, and summer escapades

Wraps the feet comfortably

These kicks are made of soft knit upper that wraps the feet comfortably, as if you're wearing socks.

The Chaco Scion perfectly fits the bill for outdoor junkies looking for breathable hiking shoes they can wear for summer adventures.

Chaco Scion is made of recycled materials

Create memories without leaving a trace. The Scion hiking shoes are made with fewer parts and recycled materials.

This means that shoe’s construction has low-impact on the environment. The women's Chaco Scion shoes fit like a glove and you will not want to take them off.

Sock-like fit but not waterproof

Its upper is made of 360° continuous knit polyester so there are no weak spots. Plus, you are rewarded with a sock-like fit.

However, this material is not waterproof. So it's best worn in hot summer days when it's unlikely to rain. Tip: tuck a pair of waterproof hiking kicks in your bag for hikes. You never know when you need them.

Optimized for wet traction

The Chaco Scion hiking shoes come with a durable and long-lasting pair of footbeds that are certified by podiatrists.

Another great feature of this hiking shoe is the upgraded rubber sole that has a new design specifically engineered for wet surfaces.

Not for hiking in rough terrain

It is not meant for hiking in rough terrain. While the grip of the Chaco Scion is unbelievable, the shallow tread pattern makes it less suitable for rugged trails and paths.

This hiking shoe is non-marking so feel free to use it indoors. The majority of the Chaco Scion reviews say it's one of the lightest hiking shoes around.

Offers a good amount of grip 

Many people find wearing this footwear a bliss. Thanks to the soft knit upper and plush cushioning.

Despite the light construction, this shoe offers a good amount of grip.

No break-in required 

Plenty of reviewers also love how their feet stay cool even if they wear these shoes the whole day.

Given its soft upper construction, this hiking shoe doesn't need to be broken in, as mentioned by some customers.

Rigid heel with a narrow fit

The tough seam on the back of the heel seems to dig into the ankle unless you wear socks, a handful of people say.

Some users wish this shoe is available in wider widths. 

Chaco Scion provides impressive arch support 

Several users with plantar fascitis are impressed with its amazing level of arch support. A lot of reviewers love the speckled design of the Chaco hiking shoes.

This stylish shoe is available in different colorways (blue, pink, and black) so take your pick before you proceed to the checkout process.
