Very well made but the material needs to be broken in a bit more before used. The material,for the straps absolutely tore my feet up with blisters. After a week or so of wearing they are much better.

I would give a five star rating, but I ordered the wrong size, sent them back with a request for a larger size, but haven't yet gotten anything back. When I do I will change my rating to five stars. My last pair of Reefs lasted for years.

I have been wearing these flip flops for over 10 years now but they don't sell the fancier ones like they used too! There used to be ones with silver on black anc gold on brown but anymore they are the same old black with mint and all kinds of other combined colors. I LOVE these flip flops as they are great for my major back issues and I still recommend them. Just wish they'd bring the old color combos back!

The best flop I've found minus the tongue. Outstanding support and comfort, but I'm now on my third tongue failure in less than a year. These would be an excellent product if Reef would just reinforce the in-between toe attachment point. This last blowout happened in a very bad area and caused me to slip off a cliff. Thankfully I caught myself or it would have been a long fall onto rocks. The only reason I'm still using these is because Reef has an excellent replacement policy. I just wish I wasn't constantly needing to replace them...

I have ordered this type for over the last 8 years. The recent one I got was thinner it seems than the other past ones as I still have a few pair. Also did not like the narrow choice of colors. I plan to still buy them in future if colors improve, but I don't feel that they are value for money like they once were. "#sweepstakes"

I purchased a pair of these "flip flops" about 5 years ago. they were so comfy and lasted soooo long!! so I bought another pair now. I was a bit disappointed because the "web" in between the big and second toe, was a bit irritating after a while. I put a piece of cotton around it to make it cushioned and that helped alot, but it doesn't look very classy that way. maybe after I wear it down a bit, it may not irritate my toes. the thick cushiony sole makes them comfy. The pair I bought 5 years ago, had a small tray that pulled out from the heel, where I could store a credit card or small amount of money. this pair does not have that. I'm hoping this pair lasts as long as my first one did!

Not as cushiony as I wanted and not as much arch as I wanted. But I'm not returning them.

Order a size too small, not thinking, I threw away the packing slip which contained a return label. Been a hassle getting one ever since. Sandals are great though! Super nice, ordered the correct size and my husband can't wait to get them.

This is the third pair of Reef Fanning sandals that my family has purchased. Unfortunately, this is also the third pair of Reef Fanning sandals that one of the thong center attachments has blown out of the footbed. This time, this happened within a month of receiving them, so I am returning this pair. Very disappointed with the repetitive issue, because my husband otherwise wanted to love the sandal for its comfort. Bummed.

This is my 3rd pair. In the past they have been very comfy and I can usually get 2 summers of daily use out of them before they are shot. This pair however is narrow and is tight on my feet. I've been wearing them in the house for the last couple of weeks, hoping they would loosen up. Sadly, they didn't, so I will be returning them tomorrow.

Although I love the shoe and have been a long standing customer, within just a few days of wearing them there are threads coming apart on the toe portion. I'm assuming they will endure more wear and tear than a weeks worth of use but just a little disappointing.

I loved my friends sandal. Ordered the same one as her and the same size since it fit. Ordered a size 9 and it fit like a size 7. I could barely get my foot into the sandal. Super upset I have to return them and wait for a new pair.

Replacement of a pair of Reef flip-flops. New ones are not as comfortable and feel a bit too narrow.

This is the 2nd pair of this style of Reefs ... I was trying to duplicate a pair I bought in 2007 that are wearing out .. not bad for 1 years! This pair, however, has a very stiff toe post, unlike the older flip flops. It hurt a bit, I'm hoping it will soften in time.

I love the shoes -- but the first day I wore them - I walked about 4 miles and I found them very comfortable to walk in. However, the straps rubbed and cut into both of my feet on the insides. This made them impossible to wear until the these places heal. I had to go back to wearing my old flip flops until I can wear the Reefs again. The straps should be made of a softer material and less stiff.

I didn't love these. They look more comfortable than the smoothy version of reefs but I found the sole uncomfortable. I was hoping for that eureka moment finding ultimate comfort in summer footwear but no.

Normally I would rate these a 5star!! But in the past two years Reef has slacked. I know people who LIVE in these sandals.. I know I do in my old ones. And buy them religiously every year.. but have the same issue I have had. The past few years they have had a black pair and a white or brown pair. No more pretty pinks or blues or even the multicolored ones. I have even looked on reefs site for a replacement sandal. A sandal in a similar style but has the beautiful bright colors.. but still came up empty. Was still stuck getting a black/mint combo sandal. I love these because they are perfect for summer and the beach. They dry quickly if they get wet are easy to wash without any issues even a good scrub if they get really muddy, which I can not say for any leather sandals or sandals with decoration. I would just like to have more variety back please or a similar sandal that is not in the standard black brown white or black/white/teal combo they have been replaying for the past 2years. I even contacted customer support a little less than a year ago about this issue because I love these sandals so much. Obviously the issue has yet to be resolved.. please do t make me find new sandals. I really love these.

There is a metal piece that probably provides some arch support in the sole. But it will damage our house indoors. If only for outdoors, these would be fine.

Reef sandals have always been well made and fit well right out of the box. This time, all of the sandals purchased by people in our family seem to be slightly smaller/shorter and tighter than in the past. Might not buy again.

Just bought my 12th pair. Loved these for many reasons, but leather inside strap was one primary reason. Almost returned these to Reef, but cannot find older style in any store. Many years ago Reef had a suede style and they discounted it. Every time I find the perfect sandal, go through a few pair, they discontinue them. Stop it and bring back the leather inside strap and softer sole without bottle cap opener.

Use all the time, but they make my feet stink, and when I called CS, he told me to wash them in the washer, then said don't because of the leather, but gave me no other option, and he said I ain't the first person with that problem

These are great comfortable flip flops. Yes 50 is a lot for a flip flop but I feel the comfort and whats available locally Its worth it. So great Shoe, a little high in price and be prepared for Slow shipping. So the 3 stars is that it truly is comfortable. the 2 missing star is for price and over a week shipping

I like them but they came out of the box smelling terrible. What's the smell? Will it go away?
