I am an avid Chaco wearer, I got my first pair 15 years ago. I bought the Cloud a few years ago, I also have a non cloud pair. I wore those last on a canoe trip. This year, I wore my Cloud pair on a canoe trip and I had to come on here to review. I am not impressed. They do the job and have the great features of Chacos; I was able to wear them on portages and was fine. The problem I have is that in comparison, the Cloud are not great for water. The cloud foam absorbs water and they don’t dry very quickly like the others. Also, the Chaco stink on the Cloud is terrible. It comes on quick and is bad, bad. Yes, the Cloud is comfortable, but it sure isn’t comfortable when they’re wet. I am no longer impressed and will always stick to non cloud in the future.
