“What is thr difference between the unaweep and the yampa? I need a good walking sandal. Which is better?”

Unaweep is Chaco’s classic performance sandal tread, with aggressive traction like a hiking shoe. The lugs are deep, and these will last the longest. If you’re planning to do a lot of hiking, this sole is your best bet. Men tend to prefer this style.



Conversely, the opposite is often preferred by women! The Yampa sole is lower-profile and lighter, and on some models it comes in a bright color that matches the sandal webbing. Because of their popularity, many women’s Chacos have more available colors in their Yampa iteration.



So, it really depends on hiking vs. walking. The Yampa will be a much lighter weight sandal for running around town. Hope this helps! Answered on 4/28/2016 7:47:32 PM by Briancw from Kentucky

Not sure. I've had many different styles. Some models have less aggressive soles. That might be the difference This unaweep pictured is the more aggressive, as in a hiking boot. Hope this helps. Answered on 4/29/2016 6:17:14 AM by Stewdog from Georgia
