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.

The quality is not there as the past. The shoe is thinner in the toes and you lean forward compared to older shoe. Not as much cushioning. Not the support in the arch that it used to have. Also cut down on toe width. I loved the width of the older shoe. That is what made it unique because no one else had the wider width and the arch support and comfort all in one. Also straps are stiffer. Shoe is not as comfortable as the older shoe. Highly disappointed. I LOVED this shoe but not the newer one. I had rather pay more for the quality to be there. Please go back to the better quality!! Will not buy this shoe again unless it has the quality as before.

Have been buying a couple pairs of women's size 9 Fannings for years. This time the Women's size 9 Fanning is about 1/2 inch shorter in length and the sole is so flimsy that it folds under at the toe if I happen to catch it when the surface isn't quite level. Too bad, it's been ruined. Won't buy Reef's again.

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.

The shoe is not as thick as before making it less comfortable and less arch support. Also because it is not as thick in the toes you find yourself leaning forward. Also they cut down on the width of the shoe! The straps and bottom of shoe is not as soft as it used to be making it less comfortable. I had rather have my older shoe than the new one. Soooo disappointed. I thought I had found a shoe I could buy forever. I had sold the older shoe to a lot of my friends. We are all saddened that the quality is not there. I had rather pay MORE than to lose the quality!!

I was not happy with the color. It was supposed to be red but to me looks more like an orange. I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to wearing them with several outfits.

recieved sandles and kept feeling like a pebble was in my Sandle. Come to find out it's piece of rubber/plastic drip from the mold im guessing. Sandles are good but it's pretty annoying having this thing dig into the heel each step

I wear a size 12, I have a pair of older reefs that are a size 12 that are the most comfortable shoes i own, these were too small, too narrow, still waiting on the return to process. Purchased a size 13 and they are still very narrow.

I can feel the metal from the left sandal poking my foot as I walk when the sandal bends. A pinching feel. The right one is ok. I needed to use them right away otherwise I would of returned them.

I love the sandals, however I have had the webbing material start to deteriorate after a few months of use. The brown 'finish' on the material had flaked off on the last two pairs I have owned

Comfortable and sturdy, but "splatter" design on the sides of the sandal began peeling off after 4 days of wear around the house.

The style remains cool, but the quality is waning. My reefs used to last for 2 summers of use, but over the last few years, they tear apart before the season ends (and I live in New England where the summers are short!). I'm really disappointed with the product. The problem each time is the toe strap delaminating or completely tearing through all the layers.

I love the way they look. But they are really uncomfortable, stiff and rigid. The toe piece is too thick and has given me a blister. For the cost and potential, it was a major letdown.

Love shoe but looked a lot brighter in the picture so I was disappointed in the fullness of the color. I take a size 7 in men's and they were too big.. they must run big.

Loved these for many years - 5 pairs in total then ordered replacement a month ago - just not comfortable. order a size up. no better. They seem to have changed the formula. The bottle opener extends too low, can feel it when wearing. straps too tight, rubber under foot too slippery. It's too bad, these were a favorite. Ordered Keen Kona Flip. Kona Flip is much more comfortable and just feels like a better fit.

The straps on these shoes were way to sloppy and large to hold my foot in. I would have to curl my toes up with each step. The base was quite wide too but I probably would have kept them if the straps fit. I think the bottle opener on the bottom is a novelty but I wouldn't use it because gross stuff is usually on the soles of shoes.
