I was unaware that there were so many green bachelors around.

I am looking for a very specific, recently-discontinued pair of sandals. My search skills have failed me. Help me, hivemind!
I am trying to find a pair of Chaco Z/2 Unaweep sandals, in Size 10 Regular, color "Bachelor Green". Chaco is the brand, Z/2 is the line, Unaweep is the style of sole. They appear to have been discontinued, and the particular color I want seems to have been one of the most popular, hence it seems to have sold out quickly. I've been able to find them in black, "Twilight" (a blue colorway), and sometimes in "Railroad Regular" which is a brown-and-orange scheme. I've also found a couple of other colors, but "Bachelor Green" is what I want most of all. If anybody can find a pair for me in my exact specifications, I'll buy you a drink next time you're in New Orleans.
Here is a link to the sandals my heart desires.

So did you contact customer service and ask them to find you a pair in their retailers? They should have a database.

I found my absolute favorite pair of discontinued size 11 green Clarks on Ebay for $20 (new). I know I probably got really lucky but it doesn't hurt to try. And give it a week or two. Insane amounts of merchandise travel through that portal daily.

Best answer: Well. These are used but it's a start!
Those shoes you wanted.

Very very unlikely to actually be in stock, but they do let you put them in a cart. Worth a try, and maybe a phone call? Seems sketchy that they say inventory not up to date, but looks like somewhat local store in SLO, CA with an online storefront. http://summerbeachsandals.com/ecom/ProductDetail.php?id=7419

Response by poster: Glinn, the auction you found looked like my best bet. Shame there's no "buy it now" possibility, I'll have to wait a few days for the auction to time out. That may be the only remaining pair of Bachelor Green Size 10M Chaco Z/2s on the internet, though.

Response by poster: Followup, if anyone is interested: these sandals rock. Highly recommended. They are rock-solid, comfortable as hell, and really grip my feet in a cradling, comfortable way that makes me feel very secure. Thanks again!
