Used to be a very comfortable shoe but they changed the stamp on the inset with the sizing info to now a sticker which rubs very badly. This is the second pair of this new style I’ve had and I may end up buying a different shoe next time around.

My first pair of Reef products. I made the purchase after seeing a friend's Reefs. It appears to be a well made flip flop, but there is an issue for me. After wearing for a while the first day, the right shoe was actually cutting into my 2nd toe. I made several attempts to adjust the shoe on my foot, reposition, etc, but it remained very uncomfortable, and I haven't worn since. Not sure if there is a defect in the right shoe or what (the left shoe is very comfortable). Anyway don't mean to bag on Reef, just not the best for me

Needed a new pair as my old reefs had a blowout. Looked around and wanted something with cushion and these with an airbag in the heel seemed like a winner. Got them with high hopes and loved the style. Problem is there is zero cushion at all. Feels like a couple bricks attached to my feet. Not really comfortable at all for much more than a few errands and getting the mail. These will have to be turned into my beach flops that I only wear when the actual earth provides the comfort.

Was excited to get my new Reefs! Disappointed to see the "sticker" that won't come off on the inside of the shoe. Know it's on the inside of my foot but when I take it off- so tacky! Make it removable! For the price, your company can do better.

I think these would be great sandals if not for a huge flaw. I wore them for about half an hour. There are thick seams around the toe strap area. I had two big sore spots rubbed raw on both feet. I'm not sure why they would not understand how uncomfortable that is.

I bought two pairs in the last month expecting them to be wide fit as stated in the description I ordered a women's eight too narrow so I ordered a men's seven also a little bit more space but still too narrow disappointed I have bought from you in the past and the men's fit was good I'm keeping the sandals because they fit my daughter just perfect thank you

My pervious pair like this style lasted almost 15 years. So naturally, I wanted to replace them with this style. I'm an 8.5 and ordered an 8, like my old pair, but they were too small. Returned them and reordered a 9 and they fit perfectly. They're very comfortable.

I bought these in mid-May and by the 1st of August the fabric is already ripped apart on the inside of the thong straps on both sandals. These are my 4th or 5th pair of these and I'm a die-hard Fanning fan, but this is the first time this has happened, especially so soon. I do love the colors and design and they're comfy, as always. Bummer about the cute fabric tearing!

Made my knees hurt. I don’t have a similar experience with the Teva thong or the Reef sandal. But great look.

You sent the wrong Reef style. But i'll keep what you sent. I have ordered the same for the last 8 years and the wrong SKU sent.

The fit size was fine. However, there was no arch support whatsoever. I didn't realize there was a bottle opener underneath (my fault, didn't read the fine print). Not sure I'd want to use the bottom of my flip flop to open a bottle. The bottle opener is right underneath the arch of the foot so I could literally feel the metal opener under your feet.
I am, and always have been impressed with Zappos and was able to easily return them.

I ordered these recently to replace a pair that I had owned for several years. Super disappointed in them as the fit and feel is off. I wear an 8 in every single reef sandal I have ever purchased and these were somehow short and the straps were wide and loose. I assume quality of materials, and manufacturing processes have changed because I also have a pair of reef lux sandals that shrunk after a day in the sun. After replacing them the same thing happened to the new pair. Reef has been my go to brand for sandals for over 20 years I am sad to say I will be looking at other brands after my last purchase.

Did not realize this has a bottle opener at the bottom that weighs the shoe down until my boyfriend wore them several times. Not too comfy either. Reef has been great to my boyfriend and I through the years, but the quality is getting cheaper and cheaper which will eventually cause lifelong foot problems for people. I hope shoe companies and particularly, established shoe companies like Reef gets it together and thinks about the future of their customers rather than the “now” to make a $dollar.

They fit an feel great, but they make he bottom of my feet black. It’s a shame, I really can’t recommend these unless you are ok with the black dye wearing into to your skin.

I had these for about two weeks. The paint started falling off the sides sandal. They are two weeks old but they look like I had them for years.

I am a true size 12 with feet on the wider side. Initially ordered size 12 and could not even put them on, returned for a size 13. Could barely put them on. They are "flip flops" and cannot slide in or out of them which is the entire goal of a flip flop. Disappointed in the unnecessarily narrow design. Bought even a different, more loose design by reef and they feel like they are greater than an entire size too small...struggled to slide my feet into it and once in both heels were hanging off the back. "true to size" by Zappos is horribly inaccurate. Reef take a tip and do not design a flip flop narrow, the entire purpose of a flip flop is to come on and off with ease, not impossible to put on.

I had 3 pairs of Fannings. I threw 2 in the washing machine and the straps fell apart. Make them machine washable! They are flip flops and they get grungey.

I bought these because I thought they would be somewhat like Slap sandals. They are to a certain extent but I did not expect them to come with bottle openers in the souls of each sandal. I have hardwood floors and fear that the length of time I can wear them before they scratch my floors will be very short. I'm sorry I bought them but unfortunately I threw away all the paperwork before I realized the bottle openers were there. They also seem to be a bit narrow.

Size and fit were good. These are not as comfortable as the picture depicts with the "bubble" heel cushion. And the logo they put on the heel is uncomfortable as well. Call me tender foot, but they were not comfortable. Overall they are too stiff and don't flex or form with your foot. And the bottle opener on the sole is a cool idea, but typically if you're in an environment where you are wearing flip flops, glass bottles probably shouldn't be allowed anyway ie: pool, beach, or boating. I'm sending these back.

These flip flops are too wide and loose on my feet. Made for people with wider feet, not skinny feet.

Ok I have owned a pair of there sandals for two summers now. I have worn them a few times a week and gotten them wet several times. I have by no means worn them out and in a matter of a month one of the side straps came loose from the sole and the toe strap ripped. They are cute and comfy but didn't last nearly as long as any of my previous reefs had.

I decided to wear them in the house to make sure the fit was good and only had them on less than 15 minutes. I thought I felt something and when I took them off I noticed a visible ripple under the rubber extending about an inch in 3 directions from the tong that goes between the toes. I did not notice this prior to putting them on. I fear that this is going to be a weak point after a few wears and may come apart, I also bought a similar pair (Reef Rover) and have worn them out for several hours and no similar issues has been noted. I will likely need to return them.
