Hi, I’m Kirsten with BarkingDogShoes.com, where we review the most comfortable shoes for women. This is the Chaco Ramble Puff. Is it a slipper? Is it a shoe? That’s up to you!
The Chaco Ramble Puff is made from this really cool nylon ripstop. It’s quilted, so it looks like your favorite puffer jacket. It has a nice wide toe box which accommodates bunions, hammertoes, and other painful forefoot conditions.
On the inside there’s soft cozy fleece lining–even on the footbed! It isn’t so thick that your foot is going to overheat in these. feel like it’s just the right amount to keep your feet cozy without feeling overly toasty.
If you’ve worn Chaco sandals you know the trademarked Luvseat footbed–there’s contoured support; not only for your arches, but your heel too.
The footbed is actually attached to the midsole–so it’s not removable. It’s made of durable polyurethane (covered in soft fleece). It’s not like memory foam where it packs down after a while.
The polyurethane footbed provides firm durability with a little bit of cushion.
One of the best things about the Chaco Ramble Puff is you’re not confined to wearing them in the house. They have a three millimeter lug sole which allows you to wear these not only to the mailbox, but on shorter walks around your neighborhood (the nylon ripstop upper is water resistant). I also love how lightweight this slipper bootie is!
There’s an instep strap that you can buckle and adjust for a snug fit. Word of caution: the Ramble Puff runs small. You should probably order up a half size if you plan to wear them with socks.
The Chaco Ramble Puff is available in whole and half sizes 5-11 for $45-85 from Chacos.com, Amazon, and Zappos.
