I have been wearing these sandals for about fifteen years and I can honestly say they are the best flip-flops I have ever owned. I love their arch support and contour since I cannot wear totally flat shoes or sandals. I have owned several pairs and have only had three that just finally gave up the ghost when the thong pulled loose from the toe area...but they were pretty well worn by that time. I am a shoe-aholic and love having several different color choices. I would advise letting your feet get used to the texture of the soles before wearing them exclusively for an extended period of time. I accidentally packed only those shoes when on vacation in Mazatlan one year (a brand new pair) and did have blisters on the bottom of my feet by the end of the week, but that is the only time that has happened. The bottle opener on the bottom is an added benefit and it has come in handy at times! Love these sandals!

I purchased for my husband over 5 years ago and the thong finally gave out. He was so disappointed. I found another pair in Vegas and surprised him with a new pair. He wears them almost every day! And the bottle cap opener was a life saver in Brazil!

My husband has been wearing the Reef Fanning for years and is always a size 9. I ordered these Slap II and found they run much smaller - he fit perfectly in a size 10. The Slap II is "squishier" as he puts it. You can't go wrong with either the Fanning or the Slap II - just preference on firmness. Both are excellent quality. The other note is the bottle opener is not on the Slap II as it is on the Fanning. He is a men's 9.5 in Nike running shoes (for comparison).

The shoe has been put through it's paces in the 10 days since I've received them. Wore them nearly every minute Purchases so I had something durable on my vacation to Southern California they have held up more than nicely! I've been outside which included beaches, in the water, walking on the rocks on a jetty, and even climbing steep inclines in the Canyons above LA. The shoes had good grip and were comfortable. I did have a problem having the shoes delivered, there was a shipping problem of some sort but these things happen sometimes and Customer service responded quickly and expediently. My shoes were out to me the very next day. Thanks for making my first Zappos experience a positive one even with the initial shipment being lost.

I have owned a 1/2 dozen of fannings reefs. Never disappointed. They last forever unless your dog eats them! Wish they came in fall colors!

I wear these everyday. This is my 2nd pair only because my puupy got the last ones. They are very durable, comfortable and even have a bit of arch support with the bottle opener on the bottom. I have never had a pair of flip flops with arch support until I found these. They are great for boating and the beach because they don't soak up water and rinse easily. I don't have one complaint.

This sandal is the most comfortable flip flop, even for long distance walks.

Great sandal! Moderate arch support. Not too soft, not too firm. Can tell they will last at least 2 years. Bottle opener is a nice touch. Will buy again. If you have at least mildly flexible flat feet then these won't disappoint.

I own like 6 pairs of these sandals. I have done everything from just walking around to doing light hiking. These are my favorite sandals and I recommend them to everyone. My BF said he thinks they are a bit bulky/heavy but otherwise everyone I know who owns a pair absolutely loves them and definitely says that they are the most comfortable sandals ever. PS This particular order was a b-day present for my mom who also swears by these sandals.

Great sandal and the bottle opener built in is a nice bonus for when at a cookout or at the beach or just outside and don't feel like walking in to get one!

The Reef Fanning is the most comfortable flip flop type shoe I've ever worn. This is my fourth pair, and I'm sure not my last. Purchasing them from the Reef website was cheaper than buying them at the store.

I have bought my first one in 2006 and still using it. It traveled with me in different countries hike and trekked with this. Helpful with opening pop sodas. My feet grew an inch so I need a new one. And now my whole family wears them. Support and comfort is all I can say.

Great sandals. I have worn Reef sandals for years. The fanning model or variations have always been my favorite. Solidly built with great cushion to absorb shock. And if you need a bottle opener in a pinch, there's one of those on the sole.

These are the best sandals ever. My sister bought me a pair years ago, and skeptical of the bro-y-ness of them, I didn't try them for about a year. When I finally did try them, it was magical, and I have never gone back. I have now owned about five pairs of these over the last eight years or so. The only problem I have with them is they always fail the same way, after 12-18 months of (admittedly heavy) wear; the toe strap breaks. They are worth re-buying, though!

in Okinawa Japan, I had torn some ligaments in both my feet from walking to far & just not use to. So had to wear special brace on left fort for a long time. Finally found Fanning sandal on base since then there is no other sandal for me. Having a card time finding them in USA.?. Not sure why?

I've had a pair of these for Literally more than 10-13 years before they started deteriorating. Seeing this design has been around so long tells you the quality and style are timeless. And with all the color option now...! Worth every penny. They last long, feel comfortable as a sandal ever could. I have severe chronic foot pain in both feet for 14 yrs now and they're my most comfortable sandal. The air pocket type of design is noticeably comfortable. To add to all this Zappos customer service is literally Ritz Carlton 5 star. I've had nothing but great customer service from them. I'll be loyal to both for a long time. Best money I've spent on a shoe product hands down!

They "were" comfortable for a couple months until the fabric between the toes broke, on both feet! I expected to get more use out of these for the price. :(

Comfy, supportive sandal for people with wide feet, however the size 12 that I usually wear in shoes/sandals felt to short and tight, so I had to go up to a 14, which is fine (they are not made in a size 13).

The best product for the money. You can't go wrong getting a pair of Reef's. Do yourself a favor and stop wasting money on imitations and get the real deal.
