These started to fall apart sooner than expected. The straps came out of the base.

Fit, style, and cushion (heel area) outstanding. Toe area not so much. Too thin or lack of cushion in the toe are. The balls of my feet would starting hurting after wearing them for 1/2 he or so. Other than that, the sandals were well built and fit great. Purchased a 10 with my normal size a 9.5 shoe.

I was a huge fan of Fannings until now. I have previously owned them, two other pairs in about 10 years, so the time came for a new pair, and the design has changed just enough, I hate the way they fit, they are not as comfortable as they used to be. Also they are about 1/4 inch smaller than my old ones. Too bad, I really did love these at one point.

I used to love these Flip flops as this is my third pair, however, you have changed the design. Now they feel more narrow and actually just aren't nearly as comfortable as they used to be. I know the strap between toes is also a new material, which I thought was for the better. Pretty bummed out about the purchase and won't be buying another pair.

I wear a 13. I ordered a 14 and it's still snug. Like the style though wearing them for awhile and hopefully they will stretch out/wear in.

Normally I'd give 5 stars for my Reef's (I've probably bought 10 pair over the years) but the "uppers" on my recent purchase are simply too loose for me to wear so I've returned them. I've been seeing this as a hit-or-miss issue lately, but I simply cannot make this pair work. Also - would y'all please come out with some funky floral prints, pink polka dots or baseball-themed flip flops again? They've been kinda boring lately.....

I've always been a huge fan of Reef flip flops in how comfortable and how long they lasted, however I can't say the same about the last pair I bought. I'm not sure the models I've bought previously but the ones I have now are Fannings and are already falling apart after only wearing them for three months

I ordered a pair of Reefs, flip flops that I love, but I ordered them in the wrong size. I immediately sent them back with a drawing of the outline of my foot and asked for a new pair in exchange. It's been well over a week since the company has received the returned pair back, according to the post office, but I have heard nothing from the company, and have not seen a new pair of Reefs yet. I hope I don't have to disputed the charges for Reefs I don't have. I would rather leave a good review.

I will admit they are very comfortable and I did love them but I didn't even get nine months out of them the tow strap broke. It's not the first pair of owned but I was very surprised to get a short life out of them .

I like the way the shoe looks. I thought it would be comfortable warring it. I feel like it that it would be more softer when walking

I usually wear an 8.5 but the sandals run really small. I think a 9.5 could have fit. I am going to have to send back. They appear to be quality made though.

These shoes aren't the same fit of previous Fanning shoes. Material very still and wider than expected. Disappointed and returned.

First Reef shoes I purchased were the Reefedge, and they are the best flip-flops I have ever owned.They fit like a glove! Could not find them anywhere and saw that the Reef Fanning style flip-flops. They look so similar, I thought for sure I could wear them just like the Reefedge. Disappointed, I had to return them, they run extremely wide, could not keep them on my feet. I would give them a 5 star rating if they did not run so wide and I would most like purchase several pair in different colors.

I have worn Reef sandals for over 10 years as my daily footwear as long as the weather permits and sometimes even when it is time to switch to closed shoes. The sizing has changed. I just ordered 3 pairs and had to return all because they were too wide.

I purchased these because my son had bought several of them and just raved about how comfortable they were. I went on line and decided to buy the woman's shoe that was the same as my son's. The strap between the toes hurts, my toes almost hung over the end of the shoe as the strap is not set back far enough of the front of the shoe, and I had about an inch at the back of the heel, too long. I couldn't wear them more than 40 minutes the first day as my feet were killing me. I wear a size 8.5 wide and they recommended buying the next size up. I am not impressed with these shoes. I have bought Spenco sandals for years and just love the fit and comfort. I can wear them ALL day! They are the same price as these Reef's but Reef is not worth the money. I would not recommend buying these sandals at all!

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.

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.

I have owned several pairs of reef sandals. I love the fanning!! I have always purchased in a store but decided to buy online. Waited the 7 somethings days to get my sandals only to get the wrong pair. They were nice enough to send out new ones next day once I sent back the other sandals. I finally got the correct sandals. However I am kind of disappointed in them. One I ordered size 10 and they barely fit (every other shoe I am a size 9). I sized them to an older pair of fannings I have and they are NOT a size 10. There is no way. But the sandals are the most uncomfortable sandals I have ever had from Reef. It is hard to explain well but one sandal fits perfect like it has been stretched or worn before and one sandal is extremely tight and hurts to wear. I am really hoping they stretch out because they aren't cheap shoes. Which is one of the reasons I buy these sandals because they do last so long. I just hope they get comfortable so I can have them for a long time!!

I have been wearing size 9 Reef Fanning's for years and this is the first time I ordered a 9 and it didn't fit. Would not recommend buying them without trying them on.

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.
