Customer Reviews Reef Fanning

Purchased these for my boyfriend and he loves them! His brother and brother-in law both had them and he was so excited when I surprised them with him. He says they are super comfortable and fit great!

I get a pair of the Reef Fanning sandals every year for my hubby (new color/print). These are by far my favorite because of the color combo. He loves the fit, support and durability. They get a lot of wear. He has so many pairs (because I keep buying them). I recommend highly.

This is a great flip flop. The only one my son wears. It is a little expensive, but they do last a long time.

These sandals are some of the best I've had - they're on the heavier side as far as sandals go, but the comfort that comes with them is worth it. The straps and soles are durable, while the airbag in the back definitely cushions your heel strike quite a bit

These shoes were great. I am unhappy about new shipping rules. Zappos was fantastic because there was next day free shipping. Now in order to get free shipping need to wait a few days. Zappos lost a key market differentiator!

Very comfortable flops. I usually purchase cheap, $15 flops from stores in the mall, which typically aren't comfortable and last about a year (I'm at the beach often, so I wear flops a lot). After my last pair broke, I decided to spend a little more this time around and get a comfortable pair. And these are quite comfortable, look nice, and hopefully will last me a while. Recommended!

This is a fantastic looking sandal, very well made, and very comfortable, with good cushioning, especially in the heel. That's important if you're going to walk any distance. Now, for 20 years, I've worn the Reef Smoothy, and I've never found a thong sandal more comfortable than that model, but I got tired of the Smoothy's black footbed color rubbing off on my heels -- yes, they did make gray footbed one year a decade or so ago, but they discontinued it. Why Reef can't make the footbed of the Smoothy in colors that don't rub off on your feet is beyond me (just do it, already!). In any case, I got fed up and started trying other brands, none of which had the comfort of the Smoothy, until I tried the Reef Fanning, which is pretty close in comfort (and cleverly has a beer bottle opener built into the bottom of the shoe, handy since your better beers don't have twist-off caps). Now, it's not perfect, because it's a little heavier than the Smoothy, and the front end should be 1/8 inch thicker for ideal balance and cushioning rear to front. But other than that minor defect, it's a remarkable shoe and, to be honest, is far more stylish than the Smoothy or any other sandal I've tried (and I've tried a great many). You won't believe how good the Bone, Brown, Green color looks on your feet (my pro fashion-stylist wife approves). But here's the thing -- what they call green is really blue, although you only see a small strip of it anyway. But it's a nice touch and a pretty shade of blue. Overall, this is a great design, great color combo, and a very well made shoe that is also very comfortable. The bone colored footbed is the best, as the black heel problem has been eliminated. This will be my new everyday sandal, which in my climate is 7 months per year. I will definitely get a second pair, but only those that have the bone or white footbeds. Also check the Reef Fanning Prints, as there are two choices of white footbeds in that model. Finally, let me say that black for a footbed is a dumb idea because if you leave them in the sun (say, at poolside) they will be blazing hot in minutes. Don't forget to turn them upside down. But, realistically, bone or white is the only way to go, and they have a more modern fashionable look, too. You can wear them casually, or dress them up with a nice pair of shorts and polo. Hope Reef reads this and makes a Smoothy with a white, bone, or gray footbed -- come on, Reef, just do it, already! But thanks for at least making the Fanning in bone. I appreciate it. And I'd say the quality, comfort, and style are so good that the price is a bargain. Finally, these are definitely true to size.

These shoes are perfect. Extremely comfortable. I wore them every day for a week in Disney.

This is my favorite sandal...not only are they super comfortable, but they last a long time. My last pair didn't even wear out after their fourth year, I just got these as another option! Definitely worth the price.

I have had a couple pairs of these sandals. They are far more comfortable than any shoe I have purchased, and have become my daily wear whenever possible. My last pair lasted 3-4 years with constant use (including multiple theme park excursions). The previous pair lasted about the same, but I lost them before I could wear them out! If I could give extra stars to any product, this would be it. Highly recommend!

A very comfortable sandal, with arch support. When deciding on the size I would go up a half size instead of down. They can be purchased from other sources, but Zappos has the best customer service.

I bought these to replace my old Reefs. They're the most comfortable sandals ever. I can walk around all day in them. It took a day or two to break in the strap but now they're great.

I buy my husband a pair of black Fannings every year for his birthday. They're his birthday flops. It's coming up, so, that's why I'm here again. He freaking loves them. Beer bottle opener is cool too. ;)

Shoes are very comfortable. The air in the heel provides lots of cushion.

A bit less comfortable (felt heavier) than other Reefs I tried but I still love it and the bottle opener on the bottom is a nice touch!

Great flip flops. These are better looking than the leather Fannings. If you wear a 10 1/2 shoe the 11 is perfect.

My husband and son-in-law love these flip flops and I have ordered them multiple times as gifts for both of them. It's what they keep asking for!

I purchased some Reef Fanning flip flops from Zappos. They blew out less than one year. I called Zappos and they sent me a new pair. Very pleased with the warranty program.

Great heel support and very comfortable. Great all round flip flop. Did need some stretching at first but feel great now.

I am loving my new pair of Reefs. This is my first time ever buying this due to positive reviews about it being the most comfy flip flops. I have replaced my slippers with these. I wear them all the time!

I took these out of the box, put them on, and wore them all day, walking around Chicago. The arch felt supportive and there were no blisters at the end of the day. They go with jeans, capris, dresses, and shorts. My granddaughter gets a kick out of the bottle opener on the bottom. I have not found a need for it yet, but at least I am prepared!

I've been a fan of the Fannings for years. This was my first white pair and I love them. You can take them off on the beach in the hot sun and they don't burn when you go to put them back on. As always, they're extremely comfortable, they look great, and you can't go wrong with the built in church key. A fantastic choice.

I bought these for my college age son. He owned a pair previously, that lasted several years, and were so comfortable that he wanted another pair. Zappos' service was great!

I've bought a new pair of Reef sandals each spring for the last many years. They always fit very comfortably after a day or two of breaking in. The new ones and the bottle opener have saved me from sobriety on more than one occasion! Great buy, great fit, and great sandals!
