Never had Reef, yet always wanted a pair. I am still breaking them in, built well, and have a nice look but no comparison comfort-wise to my previous Hurleys.

Very good brand But the only problem is the impression that it has on top of the flip-flop it begins to bother after a while in the heel part

I love the look of the Fanning. And that's what you buy these for. Reef has very comfy footwear but the Fannings are not. The logo is stiff, high definition, and directly under your heel. Currently I wear them a couple hours and swap to a different shoe. I hope that after wearing for a while this will either soften or my heel will callus over enough to wear these.

this is my second pair, hoping the most recent pair would have been different, but they werent. Nice shoes but not enough arch support, especially for the money. Take the money to add a stupid bottle opener and make more of an arch

They don't make them like they use to. 3 strikes and Reef is out. I have purchased these over the years. But this last year was the worst. I have bought 3 pairs within the last year. Their quality of workmanship materials have gone down the drain. All three pairs of thongs broke. And the last pair gave me horrible sores on the sides and top of both feet. Spend the extra money and purchase Chaco's they are my new fav.
I'd also recommend:

Way too hard, not very comfortable. Also not a fan of the bottle opener. Style is decent though.

Before I can give a true review, I need to order a size smaller. It was definitely a size larger and wider than the usual Reef's I've worn in the past.

Was expecting the flip to be a little better than what arrived. Not 100% happy with them but now I know to never get that one particular flip again.

These are well made; however the material used is ‘stiff”. Gives NO cushion. It was like walking of a shingle of wood. Too bad. They look cool.

I have been wearing womens Fanning flip flops for years. I have wide feet and these Reef flip flops fit great. I've purchased the same style & color many times over. I just ordered a new pair and at first I thought they sent me the wrong size as I couldn't get my foot into them. I ordered a size up and still to narrow to be comfortable. So disappointed they changed the pattern on the new version.

it’s a nice sandal, but the bottle opener at the bottom can be felt through the sandal. tbh I’m just waiting for it to rip through. when I wear them for too long my heels start to hurt as well..which I don’t have an issue with any of my shoes or sandals… this has better colors than the newest version, but the newer version seemed to be more comfortable. i will probably never buy a sandal with an opener again.. it’s a handy idea, but in practice it’s dirty af

These were smaller when placed side by side with the Reefs size Mens 11, than the same size purchased last summer. Too tight and had to return.

I've worn these sandals for years, but had to return due to the width - far too narrow. No amount of "breaking in" would have cut it with this pair of sandals. What a bummer! I have loved wearing them on dogwalks, while working in the yard or kayaking...all in the past I'm afraid.

Bought these for my husband but he immediately rejected them because of the metal bottle opener on the sole. He feared once the sole wore down, the metal would scrape the ground. Style was nice, but the bottle opener is not for everyone.

had to return, I wear a 12 in every shoe and flip flop I own. These are more like an 11, even smaller than my last pair of size 12 reefs.

I had bought these a decade ago. They lasted 4 years until I got pregnant and my feet grew. Don't remember them being uncomfortable. I'm a 7.5 and bought a 7. They fit, but felt a little small. So they're true to size. I'm just in between sizes. Still wearable. Probably would have worked out if the heel wasn't also uncomfortable. So I returned.

I ordered these to replace some that I'd had for forever but broke. I liked these because they look to be very well made and I really liked the style. Where I ran into a problem was not with the physical size of the sole, that was a good fit but with the top strap that hold them on. The strap that runs across the top of my foot was WAY too tight and it feels like it is a size too small. I only tried them on for a few minutes and the tops of my feet were starting to get sore. I took them off and tried them on again the next day and the straps were still cutting into the top of my foot. Looking at the material they are made of I don't think that the straps will stretch enough, if any. Never had this issue with this style of sandal before so I had to return them... but they do look awesome!! Pros: - Style and looks. - Seemed like decent arch support for this style sandal. - Nice thick sole with an air cushion for your heal. Cons: - Top straps seem to run small or are for someone with smaller feet. - The logo in the heal does feel a bit weird but I think it'd be find it you got used to it.

Too small so returned immediately. Very nice quality and this flip flop featured something unusual:- a built-in bottle opener on the bottom of the shoe. One pictures the trash on the ground (or more!) that the bottom of the shoe saw and then using it to crack open a beverage. Seems a bit unsanitary. Even if one could argue that it's not, it still feels icky.

I'm a faithful Reef Fanning owner for many years. My husband and I have both bought a new pair every couple years as we rotate in new ones. Unfortunately they have changed a bit. They don't seem to hug the feet the way they used to and have changed the logo on the heel, which now feels very uncomfortable. The old logo couldn't be felt while wearing the shoe but now you can noticeably feel it and it's pretty bumpy due to being raised and having bubbles in the paint. Pretty disappointing but hopefully they will fix this.
