I bought these after reading a customer review saying they wore
Reef flip flops and found the OM to be more comfortable. For some that had to burn their hand confirm the pot was hot, I took the Pepsi challenge for myself and bought both the
Reef Fanning and the
Ocean Minded. The foot-beds are different than the
Reefs but once I was used to them (about a couple of hours) I find every reason not to where my
Reefs and where these instead. They are more comfortable and help with my arch as I wear FF for long periods of time and the support is there. That's all there is to it. I do miss the Church key on my brand new
Reefs collecting dust in my closet but how often do you really use it?
