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?

Comfortable but a bit loose. Would prefer them to be more snug so my feet aren't sliding around.

Not sure? Very comfortable sanders. But they don't seem to last as long as others. This is my third pair in about 4 years. 1st pair delaminated and second pair broke at the toe strap. Old rainbow sanders used to have a warranty for the life of the sole but I'm pretty sure these do not.

Size is right, look is good, but the longer I wear, the sorer my feet become. Not sure if its the piece between toes, or the design, but become uncomfortable after a while. Not recommended for extended wear. It does have a well elevated instep as well.

I love the women's Fanning, but the choices are so limited that I decided to try the men's. The fit was good in length, but not in width. I returned the sandals and will continue to buy other Reef sandals.

Like the shoes very much but they did not fit. Size 13 was too small. All of my son's shoes are size 13 and fit just fine - but these run small - his heel was hanging off the back.

Black on Black looks sharp and like that it has the opener on the bottom. I've had many Reef's in the past, and this one seems to have a break in period vs the others as the strap is chafing on my left foot. I need to take a break from them as my foot heals.

I purchased several pairs three years ago and the new version is very thin and poor quality compared to those.

I have lived in the Slap IIs for the past 7 years and I wear them everyday and they are the best!!! These are not the same - please bring back the Slap IIs!

I have three pairs of these in the exact same style. These are the only pair that are too tight on only one of my feet. They're definitely the least comfortable pair of reefs I own. These also feel completely cheap. Not like the other two pair I have. It's such a bummer because for a pair of flip flops they're far from inexpensive. They used to be so great. I hope this is not what I can expect from now on.

Ok, a bottle opener on the sole of your foot made of metal? Come on, Reef. I got these as a gift a couple years back and I cringed every time I crunched a pebble under the metal tab. The R&D people at Reef obviously never really tried these things out in real world conditions. I wear slippers (yes I just called men's sandals slippers) almost every day and put them through their paces. Think about the sanitary issues of using a bottle opener that you walk on. If you need a couple of dirty bottle openers attached to your shoes and only wear them on your carpet these are for you.

Hands down the best, most comfortable, longest lasting sandal I've ever had, and I live in these things year round. Although in need of replacement now, I've had them for at least 8 years, and am now looking to buy another pair. I recently bought an alternate pair, but I'm ditching them because the 'flip flop' of the stiff sole drives me crazy. These Fannings do not make flip flop noises when you walk, and stay with your foot which makes walking far more pleasant. The only downside is the bottle opener. I wish they'd make the same sandal without the bottle opener. After a couple of years, it caused some midsole pain from the metal pushing through. However, that went away after about a year.

I have bought 3 pairs of these in a row but clearly Reef have decided to get really cheap with some part of the construction. In spite of washing, deoderising, not wearing, leaving in the sun, leaving in the shade and any other number of attempts to get them to neutralise, these shoes stink. Like you can't keep them in the room with you stink. No other shoes I have carry this skunk like smell, nor did my two previous pairs of these. So avoid the 2013/2014 ones like the plague.

So far so good with this pair but not so lucky with a pair I got last year. Sat in closet until this past July. After only a few times wearing them the straps came out of the side. Had to go back to an older pair until I got these.

I bought these because a lot of my friends RAVED about REEF. I was disappointed with how the strap stretched and the front of the sandal feels too thin.

Not good for wide feet. I had a pair of these a few years ago and liked them but I went a whole size bigger and they are still tight. I have only had them for a week so still trying to break in hoping they will loosen up a bit.

I bought my Reefs Nov 2011 and they died April 30 2013. As I have 6 pairs of Flops I wear at different times I am truly disappointed with the quality of this sandal. My other flops are hitting 3 and 4 years old and wearing strong. This will make me consider not buying any further Reef products as I just ordered three more pair NOT REEFS.
I'd also recommend:
any but Reefs

The wide upper strap does not breathe well. The skin begins to perspire in that area. A bit uncomfortable.
