Customer Reviews Reef Fanning

Great sandal for wearing 2-3 days every two weeks, great build quality and comfortable, but they will wear the tops of your feet and between your toes raw. Defiantly not a wear everyday type of sandal.

Product much too narrow. Shipping terrible. Too expensive for a flip flop!

Right side slippers delaminated...lack of adhesive.

The white along the sides pealed within a day. Not pleased at all.

I was excited to receive these flip flops in the mail until I tried them on. The strapping is much wider than they used to make them causing it to dig into the top of my foot. If you have high arches and a high instep then I'd stay away from Reef flip flops. I liked the looks of them but they didn't work for me. Returned them the next day ( 2 weeks ago) and still have not had my account credited. Used to be a big fan of Reef but sadly this is no longer the case.

I have purchased other Reefs that have always been immediately comfortable. This new pair of Fannings wore sores between my toes. For some reason the leather strap that goes between the toes is extremely rough. Had to wrap band aids around the straps just to relieve the pain. Unfortunately, this was the only pair I took with me on my trip to Kauai. The Reef Fannings were the low light of the trip.

I bought a pair of these awesome sandals. Very comfortable... I've had them 1 month and the plugger busted. I'm very disappointed...

I bought my first pair in 2012 and they lasted 4 years....I only bought a 2nd pair because I felt the support started to get weak. No problem. However, my 2nd pair broke at the toe strap within a year. I thought its was just an anomaly, so I bought another pair. Then within 6 months, a toe strap broke again ( Opposite foot). I'm very disappointed!

Sloppy on my foot causing it to rub when you wear them, have purchased this style many times and haven't ever had this problem

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!

I bought a relative the same size and same shoe, but the new ones are too short.

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 can't wear these as they won't stay on my feet because the strap is too big! I've bought these for years, but no more. It was no fluke that others are complaining about this same issue, the strap sizing has changed to fit larger than normal feet, too bad.

Sandal very narrow.

Product was delivered as promised. But, had to return them. The flops were seriously too big even though ordered in same size as the other 2 pairs I have worn and loved for a long time. Perhaps they sent me a men's size 7 rather than woman's?

I have been purchasing reef fanning sandals every year for the last 10 years. When I received my sandals this year the fit was totally different than the ones I've bought in the past. The length was fine however the straps are so big the sandals flap around on my feet. I'll be looking for a new brand or style if the fit does not improve on my next pair.

Right sandal is not breaking in like the left and literally cuts off circulation to my foot. I've always worn Reef and have never had this problem. Still trying to break them in 2 weeks later but can only wear them for 1 hour at a time. Bummed

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

This is my husband's 3rd pair of Reefs. He loves the fit, cushion, and air bed. He doesn't use the bottle opener but purchased this style because of the heel cushion. So the comfort and support have never been an issue. The first pair fell apart on him mid deployment which wasn't a huge issue because they were 2 years old. He did however cry because you can't exactly run down the street and buy a new pair of Reefs when you are deployed in the middle of the desert. They had to leave their sleeping area, and walk to porta potties, and shower areas. So were easy to slide on at 2am to walk a few 100 yards to use a porta potty. So I got tired of hearing him cry, wanting a new pair, so I sent him a new pair in a care package. He was a happy soldier the rest of his deployment. He came home and only wore flip flops on weekends.Well all was good until they started to stink like crazy! I assumed it was my husband's feet and maybe he had a bad case of athletes feet since his feet are stuck in combat boots 12 hour a day with sweaty feet probably growing enough bacteria to wipe out a small country. Well I found it odd that his boots that can never be washed only outside leather cleaned didn't stink. I checked his pt shoes that he runs in every morning that get soaked in sweat that his body releases at a rate that would cause sever flooding in low lying areas. So it lead me backto what is causing these flip flops to stink! I followed care instructions & cleaned them. The smell went away but a few days later it was back assaulting my sense of smell. It's great the Army issued him a gas mask, cause I needed it while he was wearing his reefs. I was a evil wife and trashed those stink bombs while he was at work one day. I cried about trashing $5 0 reefs, he cried until I got him this pair a few days later, everyone was happy until they started smelling like the last ones after 2 weeks of owning them. Ive asked around and found out several others have the same issue with their 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 my size 6 reefs from four years ago. Love! Ordered these and they were like no joke a size 8. What happened?!

Never got to use.

My recent purchase was my fifth pair of women's Fannings in probably a dozen years....these have always been my favorite go-to sandal - but sadly, no longer the case. It seems the styling/manufacture has changed and the sandal is now designed for a wider foot with a fit that is not comfortably snug. My foot slipped around in the sandal. These will be returned.

I too have enjoyed Reef Fannings in the past, but the new style is waaayyy to loose. I am so disappointed!
