Chaco Roland

Surprise.  Chaco takes their sure-step traction, relaxed toe design and understanding of materials to dry land with Roland, an Active Junky favorite during a recent major assignment in Sun Valley, Idaho.  While not waterproof, the boots push away moisture thanks to quality suede and leather construction.  The shank-supported EVA midsole meant all-day endurance with a model created to riff on a military issue tactical boot.  Testers put Roland to work inside and out, trusting the EcoTread Lite outsole to stay on an even keel.
