Alternatives to the Chillos Sport
Lowdown
Mud is prevalent where you hike Chaco Lowdown provides extra adhesion on soft soil. It is also lighter than the Chillos Sport by a hair.
Odyssey
If you need proper toe protection in a sandal, the Chaco Odyssey is a competent alternative. Its upper is made of mesh, which promotes breathability and hastens drying time.
