    Great shoes! The most comfortable flats I have ever worn and super cute! Sizing is right on. They are more casual but can be with dress clothes as well. I work in a clinic that requires me to dress business casual and be on my feet all day and these are perfect.

    Pretty fabric. However, both had pink marks on the back heels. I'm not sure if that was part of the weave or not, but I doubt it given that I purchased the black/cream pair. It looked more like something pink had been placed on the material and it got wet and bled onto the shoes. These shoes appear to have good cushioning and construction, but the fit is poor. I would consider them similar to house slippers in design and fit and therefore, not worth the price. I'm an 8-8.5 and purchased the size 8 and they barely stayed on. Yet because the fit was so sloppy, my toes were scrunched because my feet slid forward in an effort to keep the shoes on. There is also elastic across the back that rubs uncomfortably. I like the idea, but because of the above issues, they are going back.

    Unfortunately, I have to return these shoes because they run a half size too big. I also decided I'd rather have the Multi/Stripe color instead of the Black/White combo. The "white" part on the shoe actually looks much grayer in person. The sole has a lot of cushion, but little arch support.

    These are the most comfortable flats ever! I wish they came in a brown or tan (I don't want to get the white since they will be dirty instantly). But the black ones are perfect. They run maybe a 1/2 size too small, but I am an 11 so either had to return them or deal with it. So I kept them because they were just so comfortable. My toes hit the front, but the material is soft so it's not squeezing my toes.

    Far too narrow for my somewhat wide feet. Kept slipping off of my foot, but ordered a 9 which is what I always wear in flats. I loved the orange and other bold colors on the side, but in the front of mine was only a repeating pattern of blue and purple which is all you could see when I had long pants on. The cushioning seemed decent but it did not sit under my foot in the correct position. Decided to return.

    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.

    I was so excited about these beacuse I live in my Reef flip flops in the summer. The soles of these are another material (not as good) but still alright. When I wore them though, the material in the back ripped up my heel. Really disappointing!

    I love these shoes! They are cute and really comfortable and look great with shorts, capris, jeans, etc. I usually wear a 6.5 but ordered both a 6.5 and 7.0. The 7.0 fell off my feet and the 6.5 were a bit tight. I sprayed them lightly with water the first time I wore them and they stretched a bit - now they fit perfectly!

    Love these for summer. Very casual, without being flip-flop casual. Rubber insole comes out easily for dumping out sand. I wear them everywhere, and am getting another pair in another color. I found them to be true to size as a 9. They also have arch support, which is so hard to find in a cute flat.

    These are the best and most comfortable flats that I have ever owned. They have great arch support which is really hard to find in flats, and they look fantastic! I got the size nine and they were right in between being too big and too small, but I got Dr. Scholl's Heel Grips, and they are perfect now. The only bad thing I have to say about them is that the inside of the shoes is not glued down very well, but I just put a couple spots of Super Glue and I have not had another problem! Make sure to break them in! It only takes a couple days of wearing them!

    The good: These shoes are beautiful. The fabric is gorgeous. For a flat, the cushiness and support are not bad too. The not so great: It took me three tries to get the size right with these. I ended up at a half size bigger than I normally wear. Now... part of that was due to the fact that, if you're like me, you WILL need to put in some kind of heel liner or the backs of your ankles will bleed for a while. The backs of these shoes seem to come up abnormally high and hit my ankles at a very painful spot if I wear them without liners. So, the heels are fixable with a liner, but unfortunately there's another problem - The front of the shoe comes up far enough on my right foot to hit right at the knuckle of my big toe and cause quite painful rubbing when I walk, almost as if the knuckle is getting caught on the front of the shoe. It's a bizarre problem and maybe something to consider if you find that shoes tend to fit you funny (although I have other flats that never do this). All that said, I kept the shoes because they are so pretty and wear them only when I know I won't be doing much walking. Another heads up: You may not get exactly the stripe colors you see in the pics - the first two sizes I tried were like the pics, but the last one (that I kept) has all purple shaded stripes on the toes and the brighter colors only at the heel.

    This is the BEST shoe ever! It has a foam padding with a very high arch support. I can wear these flats all day and never have a back ache! I have also ordered the striped pair!

    These are incredibly comfortable and cute -- I get compliments on them all the time. Two complaints: I feel like the back of the shoe doesn't come up high enough (but I think I have really tall, knobby heels) and, as a result, they sag a little bit at the back and the fabric has gotten a bit scuffed/worn there. Again, I suspect this problem is unique to me though!

    I really love how this shoe looks, and the 6.5 fits the length of my foot - I tried the 7 in a store and my heel came out easily. However, after wearing them for awhile, my toes felt like the shoe was pressing my toenails into my toes. It could be that my foot shape is a little 'longer' than the shape of this shoe. I'm hoping they'll stretch a bit over time.
