Sandal seemed well made and likely would have been comfortable. I wear a wide, and the width was fine, but the strap was too tight across the top of my foot. Maybe I have fat feet, too. Had to return them.

I, through many different avenues of purchase, have owned dozens and dozens and yes dozens of the Reef Fannings.. I own a pool company. I am on my feet for 10 hours plus daily. I put them through heck! Very rarely do I have wear something other than A Reef sandle.
If I'm awake. I'm wearing a pair of sandals . Everyday, every month , every season.
Truly the best, the most comfortable flip flops on the planet

I exchanged the first pair of 11’s for 10’s. Zappo’s exchange service was fast and friendly. I normally wear a 10.5 shoe. The left sandal fits pretty good, but the right one is much looser for some reason. Makes it a bit awkward to walk in them. I almost feel like a size 9 might fit better, but I’m afraid those might be too short in length.

Have worn these every day for the last few weeks. Very happy so far. I’m a big guy 325 lbs. and they are sturdy and made well. Fit is great and easy to walk on all day. The heel air pad actually works. I like that the bottom of the sole is grippy rubber, so no slipping. Will update review in a couple months after they get a good work out

I received my 1st pair of Reefs as a gift from my husband many years ago, so I would stop stealing his! They were the first flip-flops that I liked, and fit my wide feet. I've bought several pairs since then, so was excited for an upgrade to new ones. These were stiff and too narrow, with little hope they would break in to where they'd be comfortable, so I had to return them. I'm very sad, as I love my old ones, so I guess they'll continue to get worn!

I have owned over 6 pairs of this exact same sandal and obviously loved every pair! I recently had a problem with the sandals I had purchased and the customer service was quick to respond and send me a replacement. My only time I have had an issue the customer service was amazing! I have been a reef customer since I was 16 and will continue to purchase from this fantastic company. Good to know my money is being spent in the right place. Cheers to Reef and your employees keep producing the best sandals etc. I have ever had.

I had surgery on my big toe for arthritis (osteotomy) and arch support helps relieve pressure on the pad beneath my toe as well as my toe. I love the ortho's which have excellent arch support. The fanning was listed in the arch support family, but sadly they don't have any when compared to the ortho versions. At all. So they don't work for me. But if you don't actually need arch support they are comfortable over all. If you do, go for the ortho line.

I like Reef Fannings. they are the only sandal/flip flops wear. The run about a size larger than offered.

Very comfy but not as cushioned as what my Fannings were years ago. Please bring back the pink & white & brown bed Fannings and the pink dot Fannings.

I have had plantar fasciitis for approximately three years. I struggled to find a flip-flop they gave me enough cushion and support while being functional. I am active in the yard and needed some thing that could easily go between the yard, being wet, and being in the house. I have use this flip-flop for two years now. I just wore out my first pair and bought another one like it. I have been very happy with the support that has given. I wouldn't recommend wearing it all day if you have fasciitis but it is a good flip-flop option if you don't wanna be in your normal shoes.

I replaced a pair of reefs that I had for years. At the time I first purchased I sort of balked at the price for a pair of flip flops. However they did not disappoint. They have been my go to for casual wear all the way to beach wear. They lasted a long time and the only reason I had to replace them is that I left them out in the sun 100 degree weather, sole side up and the soles delaminated. No fault of the shoe as these shoes lasted a long time. The only down side is that black was the only color available at the time I ordered. Wish there were more fun and vibrant colors to choose from. Overall great shoe and is my go to flip flop for sure!

i like my hardsole old school Flojos/ My Sanduk's are too spongy for all day walking. The Olukai's were replaced for delaminating soles and still wore out the uppers ad straps in less than a year. These Reefs looked perfect. I wear a 10 in all the other sandals/ these Reef size 10's fit perfectly, except tht ny big toe hung off the front. I wish they would worked. looked good and otherwise, felt good.
I'd also recommend:

I do love this shoe this is my 4th pair now. Quality has slipped a little bit though. Find glue globs, logo on footbed double stamped or soles slightly misaligned, and almost all reef now have silly nubs looks like basically drops of extra foam allowed to dry i really wish they would address that. But this is still my favorite shoe but since the price continues to go up so should the quallity.

If they would make them in a wider size they would be perfect.

I bought my recent Fanning Sanders because the last pair were starting to fall apart after eight years. Well made. I would recommend them to family and friends. Best part, not made in China

For probably 20 years or more, I've been wearing Reef Fannings and another similar style of Reefs that I just can't remember the name of - and actually favored over the Fanning- but I guess are not made any longer unfortunately. Im down to my last two pair so ordered a new pair in the same size. They definitely run a bit smaller than they did. I just don't think the quality/comfort is exactly as it was when I bought the last couple of pairs. The sole seems a bit thinner around the toe area. I will still buy the Fanning if more colors are made in the women's sizes (why so limited??), but I hope Reef keeps a close eye on the quality of their products - as it has slightly diminished- especially for the price.

I love reef Sandals, wish I could get the fannins without the bottle opener I had them before the bottle opener and could where them like regular shoes with the bottle opener I can't hike in them do to slipping on rocks! Please make them sans bottle opener

I love my Reef's..... However you need to make them in a Women's Size 11 for women that are tall and have long feet! It doesn't matter how much weight a person gains or loses.... The foot length does not shrink. Please make them in 11.

Fit well, it's comfortable, just feel a little heavy, will be perfect if lighter.

I love these flip flops and have all the colors; and a few of the mens. However, it is very disappointing to see that the mens are cheaper and continuously get new designs.

I have had flat feet, my whole life. It has been extremely difficult to find a show that fits my foot AND I can stand it all day. Reef has given me that freedom. I rarely say "my feet hurt" anymore. Thank you Reef for finding me!!!
