Chaco Sandals Men's Z/2 Sandal
Price: $94.95 - BUY

The addition of a toe loop for precise control along with fine underfoot support and durability.

Canyoneering, trail running, and approaches to climbs often involve precise foot placement and a desire to feel the terrain underfoot. The Chaco Z/2 sandal provides this added level of performance with a toe loop strap configuration that wraps around the big toe as tightly or loosely as desired. A strap still wraps over the entire forefoot but the addition of a toe loop gives the user that extra measure of control. The Chaco Z/2 men's sandal comes equipped with a Vibram® Unaweep sole, capitalizing on Vibram's industry leading ability to build durable, high traction outsoles for hiking footwear worldwide. Of the many features that make all Chaco performance sandals, not just the Chaco Z/2's, the gold standard for outdoor professionals, the BioCentric™ footbed contour is among the most special. Carrying the seal of acceptance by the American Podiatric Medical Association, this supportive underfoot platform encourages the foot to roll through the stride in a neutral position, keeping pronation to a healthy minimum. The Chaco Z/2 sandal's BioCentric™ footbed also offers a sculpted heel cup that stabilizes the heel and concentrates the fatty pad in the heel to aid its inherent natural cushioning ability.

Advice from the Crown of Africa experience:
"Conditioning -- The benchmark for checking your physical well-being for this climb is simple: Can you run 5 miles in 45 minutes? If you can do that, you are considered fit enough. If you can't run 5 miles, you better go see David Breashears' IMAX Everest and stay an armchair mountaineer. I didn't run great distances - never more than 20 miles a week. I did workouts on hills to strengthen my up-and-down muscles. I also hiked and, since it was winter in the Northeast, I snowshoed. I did not lift weights since we were 'Gentlemen Climbers' spoiled by a group of porters who were the best atheletes I have ever seen. I do ab crunches so that (I'm embarrassed to say this) my 25-pound day-pack didn't give me any back problems. If you'd like expert advise on how to condition for Mt. Kilimanjaro, check out the exercises shown here and the exercise plan developed by Dr. David Musnick, Sports and Internal Medicine physician and author of Conditioning for Outdoor Fitness. "
