    Got to break these in- Awesome sandal once they get broken in. Out of the box they are a little clunky. If I had to do it over again I would order 1 size lower than my true shoe size, so they would stay on my feet better.

    Reef Fanning - I bought these shoes for my husband. Mainly because the bottle opener on the bottom was a novelty. He loves the shoes though and insists that they are the most comfortable flip flops he owns.

    Favorite Flip Flops!! With most sandals I have worn, when you first get them, you need to wear them briefly a few times to avoid blisters. With the Reef Fannings I wore them for 3 hours straight right out of the box. They are some of the most comfortable shoes (not just sandals, but shoes) I have ever owned. Love them.

    AWSOME FLIP-FLOPS - These are some of the most comfortable flip-flops I have ever owned. They do cost more than your average flip-flop, but they are worth it if you’re going to wear them all of the time. Extremely comfortable and looks good to help you pick up the ladies!

    About Reef

    of New Styles!

    Notify me when new styles of Reef are added to the website

    Add This Brand to My Favorites
    Reef sandals were born from the surf, sand, and the minds of two brothers from Argentina, Fernando and Santiago Aguerre. Fueled by their passion for surfing, and armed with a unique entrepreneurial spirit, the brothers acted on an idea to create a high quality, active lifestyle sandal. The two brothers founded Reef in La Jolla, California, and with $4,000 working capital, some hard work, dedication and some savvy marketing ideas, the brothers built Reef into a respected core surf brand by creating some of the best Reef sandals in the business.

    The now internationally recognized company has always blended the cool and casual attitude of the beach with a commitment to nurturing the lifestyle that follows. At the core of the Reef are authentic, surf inspired products that have been worn by millions around the world since the company originated in 1984. Professional surf riders like Rob Machado, Mick Fanning, Ben Bourgeois, and Jay Thompson continue to spread the word about Reef by traveling the world in search of the best waves in some of the most beautiful and remote spots on earth, living out a fantasy that few ever experience firsthand. Reef is all about finding those spots and savoring every moment of beautiful surf and sand.

    Reef sandals have stood the test of time since two brothers from Argentina founded the company. Backed by classics, sandals like the Reef Fanning and the Reef Leather Smoothy, the revered surf company continues to deliver the sandals that help drive the sport and lifestyle forward. Reef doesn’t slouch on women’s styles, either. Reef flip-flops are easy to step into like the Ginger 2-Pair Variety Pack, and if you need an extra lift with each step, then the Butter has all that and more. And if you need some traditional Reef sandal style, then the easy comfort of the Wispy or Slap will keep you covered on the beach, boardwalk, or for those everyday adventures under the sun. Not limited to just sandals, Reef has expanded to an entire lifestyle incorporating Reef clothes, including shirts, hoodies, shorts, dresses, and a variety of Reef swimsuits and Reef boardshorts.

    Times have changed, but Reef is driven by the same constant – they’re surfers at heart, drawing influences from a world filled with beaches, waves, and surf. They still stand for the same things that the company was founded on by Fernando and Santi back in 1984 – a love of the sport and the lifestyle that was born out of it. To this day, Reef remains a core surf company with their revered collection of Reef sandals. With authentic and innovative products intended to nurture an incredibly fortunate lifestyle that involves surf, sensuality and a life filled with happiness, Reef and their beloved collection of Reef sandals will continue to thrive, no matter how high that next wave may be.

    GREATEST SANDAL EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Comfortable, cool looking and A BUILT IN BOTTLE OPENER! What more could you want? I have the green/yellow combo...they get a lot of looks and comments, but once you open the first bottle with them you are the envy of the party...I had these on at a BBQ, opened three beers and within 20 minutes someone broke out a laptop and at least 10 people were ordering them. 5 STARS ALL AROUND!!

    from Chicago

    Sweet idea - Sandal looks cool and the bottle opener is the sweetest thing since sliced bread. But, these are not as comfortable as the Ocean Minded Baja and Malibu, or the Sanuk Beer Cozy, Donovan, or any leather sandal by Sanuk. I just thought the cushioning in these was so-so, and for the money, they should feel more comfortable.

    Brands I'd also recommend: Sanuk, Ocean Minded

    from California

    My Review - These sandals fit true to size. A great departure from the standard boring sandal. I bought these to wear poolside on vacation and ended up wearing them all day and night. They are incredibly comfortable with hardly any flip flopping when walking. Originally I was not inspired by the bottle opener attached but when a gift of Italian water bottled in glass was sent to my room, the only way to open it was with the Fanning. I then realized the genius behind that design element. Highly recommended.

    Brands I'd also recommend: For sandels...only this one.

    Best thongs! These are actually the first and only pair of thong sandals that my husband has agreed to wear after several years of trying! He wears them all day long and says they are extremely comfortable. Of course he gets a kick out of the bottle opener as well!

    And a bottle opener to boot! Comfort and style! That's what you get with this summer favorite. Oh and I did I mention the conversations you'll start when you open an icy cold drink with your handy dandy bottle opener? Thanks Zappos for carrying such an innovative shoe!

    Nice Flip-flop BUT a Warning!!!! Nice shoe but be careful; I don't recommend for indoor use if you have nice floors. There is a bottle cap remover only slightly recessed in the sole. As the shoe wears this stands to damage your hardwood floors or nice carpets. I cut mine off. I personally would not use the bottom of my shoe to open beer anyway. Pretty filthy down there! Otherwise nice.

    Unbelievable - I've only recently become a wearer of flip flops. Attribute it to a change in attitude and latitude. I started with a pair of basic Tommy Bahamas which are comfortable, but not really great for a lot of walking. These Reefs are unbelievable. Extremely comfortable, like walking on cushions. Very true fit. I like them so much, I went out and got another pair in a different color.
