Customer Reviews Reef Fanning

I had to return them because they were way too tight!

I got my first pair of Reefs in 2004/2005. They were incredibly comfortable from the first moment I put them on. They were soft and cushioned and fit perfectly. I wore them every weekend, on vacation, to the beach (in the water), everywhere! I wore them until the soles finally cracked, & even then I hated to throw them away. I was excited to order a new pair, but disappointed when I put them on. Although these were the same size (& style) as my last pair, these were too big, & were much rougher on the bottom of my foot than my last pair - my old ones were soft.

I AM GREATLY DISSAAPOINTED IN THIS YEARS MODEL OF THE FANNING I HAVE WORN THESE FOR SEVERAL YEARS, (THIS WOULD OF BEEN MY 5TH PAIR) I JUST ORDERED A PAIR AND HAD TO RETURN THEM TO MY DISSAPOINTMENT AS THEY FALL OFF MY FEET THE STRAP IS WAY TO WIDE. I HAVE ALWAYS RECOMMENDED THESE TO MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS BUT I WILL NOT ANY MORE UNLESS THEY HAVE A VERY "WIDE" FOOT. MY 88 YEAR OLD DAD IS ON HIS 2ND PAIR MY 40 YEAR OLD SON ON HIS 2ND PAIR. PLEASE AT LEAST OFFER A NARROW AND A WIDE OPTION. VERY SAD I CAN'T WEAR THE NEW MODEL. I RATE THE NEW STYLE THE LOWEST.

I live in New England and have a very short summer. I bought these sandals at the end of last summer (august) and did not wear again until July of this year. By the end of July, the leather began to separate between the toes, and by the end of August the instep began to pull out. Price is not for quality, but maybe just the name.... disappointed.

I've worn the shoes for 1 1/2 weeks. The thong rubs at my big toe and it physically hurts. I love Reef sandals, never thought I'd have this issue. I thought it'll take time to break in, but they aren't! I thought they would be more spongy, but it's a very hard sole.

The strap on this year's Fanning sandals is super wide. They fit so loose there is no way they will stay on my feet. I wear an 8 medium width, very average. They use to fit nice and snug making it a fabulous sandal with incredible support. Why change it when it was so great for so many years?? Definitely returning them.

I wish I could say something about these sandals but the size chart listed on the website instructed me to size down instead of up so I never got to wear them and have them fit right. They run small

These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn. Been wearing them now for 5 years. The arch support makes them different from other flip flops. But Reef...you need to come out with some more....cute and colorful colors :))) Not enough variety !

I LOVE my size 6 reefs from four years ago. Love! Ordered these and they were like no joke a size 8. What happened?!

Cut too high on my instep. Wore the sandals around the house and the strap cut my feet.

I ordered these because Reef has great reviews. They fit horribly the toe area your food slides so far forward it leaves space in the back while you're walking out of the front of them!

-5 rating if that was an option, gave a 1+ because I was forced to. These are my light use sandals. Been buying for 25 years, these broke in 3 months. Are you sacrificing profits for quality now? Going to put my beat up 3 year old Cobian's on that I have been using for surfing and fishing trips and go get a new pair of their brand. Bye, bye, done with you guys.

They were to tied in the front no comfortable. I have to return it.

like the sandal ,, Don't like the bottle opener on the bottom of the sandal !! I want more padding and I think that a opener on the bottom of the sandal is a dumb idea ..

I love reefs and have for years. This pair did not fit snug to my foot out of the box. I wore them for 1 day and now they are looser than my 2 year old reefs.

This is 3rd pair of Fannings. The 1st 2 were gifts, black colors. I ordered the Vintage Brown color. They have a chemical odor that will not go away. I can't keep them in the house. I set them out in the hot tropical summer sun whenever I am not wearing them which is most of the time. It's been over a week now. The black ones had no odor. These do. What's the difference? The black ones were made in China. The Vintage Brown made in Viet Nam.

I love the idea of opening my beer with the bottom of my shoe after walking across a nasty bathroom.

This aren't the same quality they used to be. They used to be a lot more cushiony. They felt like pillows to my feet after running miles back in the day. Now they feel like ROCKS. I used to recommend these to everyone but won't ever again. Go back to the previous high quality and then we can be friends again.

I've bought several pairs. I like the product but this time the tongs were not placed correctly. My right foot, my toes hung over the edge. My left foot, my toes were right at the edge. I appreciated the he fact of no shipping for the returned item.

I've been wearing Fannings for several years and this pair was my first disappointment. Not sure what happened, but I ordered men's because my size was not available in a color I would wear (not even black was available) and that's not usually a problem. This pair seemed extra large and they didn't last... I've had to replace already (less than 2 months).

oversized - had to return - very disappointed. never a problem before - i have been wearing these for a couple of years.

not like the old pair I purchased a few years back, same size shoes but one was sewn larger than the other. Could not wear had to return.

I wear Reef flip flops size 9 regularly, this is my first time wearing the fanning version. This shoe is shorter? I don't know how or why? My heel bumps over the edge. I recommend getting a half or full size higher than usual. Other than the sizing this flip flop is great.

I bought these for my husband 3 months ago, he's only worn them a handful of times and they're falling apart! We purchased them because his old pairbof reef flip flops were awesome and lasted him 4 years! Pretty disappointing that this pair are now close to unwearable.
