Z-strap river sandals with a resole and restrap service
A rafting guide in Paonia, Colorado, built the first pull-through strap sandal in 1989. The factory went to China in 2008 and the brand to Wolverine World Wide a year later, but the ReChaco shop in Michigan still resoles and restraps old pairs.
