    Comfy and fun shoe - I love these shoes. I originally bought them to wear at the beach, but I find myself wearing them around the house all the time as well. The fun thing with this shoe is the bottle opener hidden underneath in the sole - comes in handy at the beach or on the boat! The shoes are comfortable, look good with summer wear and have a fun, quirky design. I would definitely order them one full size smaller than your usual size. I followed someone else's advice on this and the shoes fit me perfectly.

    Only flip-flops that I can wear! For over 20 years I've tried to wear flip-flops, but for some reason, my heels always slide off...but not with these!!! I can finally wear flip-flops again because these fit my feet perfectly, not to mention the great colors they come in. They are really comfortable, and I wore them the first day for over 8 hours...no need to break in these flip-flops, they're perfect right out of the box!

    Great - I read the previous reviews, so I was warned about the size. I ordered a 6 (normally I wear a 6 1/2) and they fit great. Although, I haven't worn them out yet because now I am debating whether or not to get the purple ones! I got the citrus/lime and the purple weren't available when I purchased these! Anyway, Zappos.com never fails! It’s my favorite online store!

    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.

    Awesome shoes - I've always been a big fan of Reefs but these take the comfy, reliable flip flop to a whole new level. I am going to wear these all the time from now on! I tried out the bottle opener on the bottom and it works like a charm!

    Coral Reef Fanning - Obviously the bottle opener is a big selling feature of this product. My only complaint is that I ordered the smallest size (size 5) and it came a lot bigger than most size 5's I own. It fits and looks like it's a size 6 which detracts from the overall appearance.

    Good Sandal, beware of sizing - As with the women’s 'Slap' you should be aware that this sandal runs small, and not true to size. I am a 5, and the 5 was too small. I would suggest ordering the size up, for maximum comfort. It looks great, is very comfortable and other than being aware of the sizing, I would highly recommend it!!

    Most Comfortable versatile flip flops! These were extremely comfortable right out of the box. They are made of rubber and neoprene, so they fit your foot, but move with them too. The footbed is just a comfortable as my other reefs, which are leather, but I needed a water friendly shoe for my Honeymoon in Hawaii. I got the brown and pink ones and they go with everything! I haven't tried the bottle opener yet, but when my fiancée saw it, he definitely stopped questioning why I bought a new pair of sandals!

    Reef Fanning - Very comfortable, and the olive/lavender coordinates well with khaki or denim. Easy to step into/take off without having to reach down and use your hands, yet stays on well enough to wear while pushing my 9-month old in his jogging stroller. Have not used the bottle opener yet, but I love the concept; will be a good shoe to keep poolside or to wear to the lake.

    W-O-W - That is all I can say. This is probably one of the best feeling shoes I’ve ever worn. I like soft shoes, so I had sugar shoes or Floatie’s for the past few years, but they tend to break or tear easily. It’s in their nature. The price for these shoes is also right. I think it was one of my best decisions to go ahead and buy these shoes! <3
