Great shoe...my husband LOVES Reef flips. These were a little snug when he first got them but stretched out and fit to size. How can you have too many pairs of flips with a bottle opener on the bottom??

Reef flip flops are all fantastic. I own many pairs and often give them as gifts. My son and husband like them too! They are very comfortable; your feet don't hurt or get "tired" wearing them. This particular pair has a bottle opener (cute, but will probably never use) so it made for a fun 21st birthday gift. If you are considering buying a pair... don't wait, you'll love them too!

Great sandal! The Fanning Leather is the most comfortable pair of sandals I own (and I have two other pairs of great Reef sandals). The footbed is so cushiony and has great arch support.

Surprised - Having plantar fasciitis I was skeptical about any sandals having enough support. I have been pleasantly surprised, and wear these all day without a problem.

Still the best... I began wearing Fannings about 4 years ago, and I buy a new pair (or 2) every year or so. I bought the white leather versions, and I am very pleased. The look probably won’t be for everyone, they are rather bright before you wear them in, but I love them. Comfort loses 1 star because the toe pillar on the leather version is slightly more rigid than the fabric version, so ever-so-slightly less comfortable.

These are GREAT! My son wears a size 16 shoe and has very flat feet. I ordered these Reefs and hoped they would work. As soon as he put them on, it was a big sigh of relief. They fit perfect!

Position of the leather toe strap seems to be just a bit off. After wearing them for a while it seems ok, but if anything could be improved that would be it. Overall my husband is happy with this sandal. It has a great sole on it and actually seems to have moderate arch support. Overall construction is very sturdy, which is important especially when you wear a shoe size 17. We were very happy to find this shoe in this size as it is difficult to shop for the very large sizes.

Pop The Top - The beer opener has already come in handy. The footbed is very comfortable. The "thong" strap is a little uncomfortable at first, seems to be getting broken in and doesn't irritate my foot as much anymore.

Best Flip Flop Ever - I love them so much I bought a second pair. One pair for around the house and social events, and the other for my lake home.

Versatile sandal - I purchased these sandals for my teenage son in size 16. The bottle opener in the sole was a novelty that quickly diminished. My son indicated the sandal felt a little narrow; however, he has a wide foot. He wears the sandals everywhere. The sandals have held up well so far. Shoe selection in his size is limited. We would recommend these sandals and would purchase again. Dealing with Zappos is always a pleasure.

Wonderful! First time Zappos.com shopper and they definitely got themselves a repeat customer here! Ordered on Friday, 4th of July HOLIDAY and got them the following MONDAY with standard shipping! That's top-notch service right there! As for the sandals, they look great and feel great as well. Being summer, they're gonna come in real handy for me. Thank you Zappos.com!

Great flippity-floppities! I have two complaints: 1.There isn't much arch support when you compare them to the leather Redux. 2.When they get wet, the leather straps grab my skin. I'm assuming the leather will soften in time. Rest assured, these are still great sandals. Oh yeah, and the bottle opener does work...as a humorous and/or last/gross resort.

Great Flip-Flop!!! Great look, more dressy, VERY Comfortable. Better than the synthetic upper version. Suggest the synthetic version for the beach or to get wet. This one is nice to wear out.

Fun And Comfy - I bought these for my husband for Father’s Day. He loves them. They did give him a blister between the toes at first, but after a couple days of wearing them with bandaids, he said they are very comfortable. And what could be cooler than opening a "soda" with your shoe!

Comfortable to wear and hold up well. Non-slip sole is a plus around water.

Nice but a little expensive... They are comfortable, and look good, but IMO not worth ~$50. You can get many others that are close to $30-$40 and look pretty good as well.
