Kelsea,

Great and sorry for the delay.  It was a busy week last week for me!  Anywa=
y, the HTML looks good.  Love the pictures.

=20

Just one more thing and you will be approved and ready apply for tests!  If=
 you get this done quickly, there are three items in the test queue right n=
ow!

=20

In your field conditions, you really need to add just a couple more sentenc=
es (or a paragraph) giving a sort of summary of where and when you wore the=
 sandals with a range of conditions.  Your specific trip is a great example=
 and just perfect for an OR, but a summary of all your use will just comple=
te this OR nicely.

=20

You can add this information in just before the Utah trip information.=20=20

=20

Please send me JUST the additional information for a very quick editing (do=
ing nothing but BGT work today, if possible) and I=E2=80=99ll get you appro=
ved!

=20

Thanks so much for working hard on this!

HEIGHT: 5' 9" (1.75 m)

WEIGHT: 125 lb (56.70 kg)

=20

I have been backpacking my whole life, all over Colorado and British Columb=
ia.  I enjoy glacier, mountaineering, and ocean based backpacking trips.  I=
 carry a 67L pack; however I tend to pack lightweight gear.  I hike with gr=
oups of friends, and I try to cover as much distance and elevation as I can=
 in a single day.  By the evenings, I like to cook hot food and drinks and =
relax under the stars in my hammock on clear nights.  When the weather gets=
 more aggressive, I carry my freestanding tent.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

=20

Chacos are a strap sandal with a thick rubber Vibram sole.  They come in va=
rious models with different sole and foot bed types and strap colours.  The=
 size I own is Woman's US 8; which runs small, because I normally fit a Wom=
en's US 7.5.   The ZX/2 has two 0.39 in (10 mm) straps in one continuous lo=
op which can be adjusted to fit my foot type.  This model also features a t=
oe loop.  The strap is adjusted using a plastic buckle near my ankle.

FIELD DESCRIPTION

=20

I have owned these Chacos since the summer of 2013.  I have used them in al=
l sorts of weather, climates and conditions.  They especially proved useful=
 in May, 2015 on my trip to Utah.  The temperature was 80 F (27 C) and the =
elevation was 4,026 ft (1,227 m).  I spent four days backpacking through Ar=
ches and Canyonlands National Parks, wearing my Chacos.  They don't provide=
 ankle support, so I had to be careful to not trip or fall and twist my ank=
les.  However they have a sturdy sole, which protected my foot from the hot=
 ground.  The Vibrum soles also gripped well on the smooth sandstone, and r=
ougher portions of the desert trail.  The toe strap and anti-slip sole also=
 helped my foot from sliding out of the shoe and touching the hot ground.  =
At the end of a hot day, I could walk into the Colorado River without worry=
ing about stepping on sharp rocks.  Since the soles are rubber, and the str=
aps are fabric, they dried quickly and didn't stay soggy when I got out of =
the water.

=20

<<IMAGE GOES HERE. ALT TEXT =3D "IMAGE 2"  IMAGE CAPTION =3D "Relaxing in s=
ocks">>

=20

OBSERVATIONS

=20

These sandals are very comfortable.  They have support for my high arch and=
 have a nice indentation for my heel.

The footbed is slip-resistant.

The adjustable, single loop strap system fits right to my foot.  If the str=
ap ever gets too tight or too loose, I can readjust it.

I like to push the toe strap to the side when I want to wear these sandals =
with socks.

Chacos also come without a toe strap.  I personally like the strap because =
it holds my foot in the shoe when walking downhill.

The strapping system is replicable if the fabric cord ever becomes worn dow=
n.

The Vibram soles are durable and grip easily to almost any trail type.  The=
se soles are also replaceable if the tread ever wears out.

The buckling system allows for me to easily release and take off my sandals=
.

A rubber sole allows for easy cleaning.  The sole also dries quickly when s=
oaked in water.  This sandal preforms very well as a water shoe since it do=
esn't have any leather parts.

=20

=20

=20

SUMMARY

=20

I found these sandals to be incredibly universal.  I have used them river r=
afting, as approach shoes for climbing, desert hiking shoes, campfire shoes=
, and shoes to wear around town.  I take them on every backpacking trip I c=
an, and have spent over 50 nights with them in the backcountry.  They are a=
lso one of my favorite every-day shoes since they are so comfortable.

=20

WHAT I LIKE

=20

Comfortable, adjustable, durable, versatile

=20

WHAT I DON'T LIKE

=20

Rubber can get hot, sometimes straps overtighten
