Customer Reviews Reef Fanning Leather

Just got a new pair of brown "leather" fanning sandals from an online order. Noticed right away they are not leather like my previous pair was. The portion of the "leather" sandal that your foot fits into and comes in contact with is cheap nylon. The outside visible portion of the sandal is leather but that's it. My older pair was leather throughout. Reef is getting cheap in manufacturing but keeping the costs to consumers up.

Product really irritated between my toes. Have bought similar products and they are great-something wrong with this one.

i was given a new pair of reef fanning,s as a gift over a year ago now. i didn't start using them until about a month ago as i still had a pretty good pair of reef fanning,s on the go, so didn't want to use the new ones until the older ones were on their last legs. i took them away with me on a surf trip back in February and within a week of my trip the 3 side straps that slide into the 3 side grooves in the rubber came out on one of them ! i guess as its over a year since they were purchased the warranty will be void . pretty disappointing, but like most things these days , quality is not like it used to be. if anyone has any tips on how to repair them would be greatly appreciated.

The right flip flop strap that covers my foot has caused a rubbing irritation of the skin to the point that I cannot wear the flip flops.

My mom sent me 2 pairs of these sandals and I got about 6 months of casual wear before the soles started to come apart just behind the bottle opener. I dragged them out today to repair them after sitting under my bed for a couple of years and the foam disintegrated in the heel. The sandals look like they're only a couple months old but just fell apart. Reef isn't the only manufacturer making crumy products, my boots, boat shoes and other major manufacturer shoes are falling apart because of inferior glues used on the soles. I remember when my shoes would wear out, not fall apart and then get tossed in the garbage. I don't trust all those positive revews anymore.

I have bought dozens of pairs of the Fanning Leather. I literally have 3 pairs in my closet and try to keep a good pair and every day pair and a work around the house pair. I went to get another pair and the design has changed. Changed in a Bad way! I don't like the upper fabric, it not as cool in temperature as the leather was and irritates my skin. Why are you changing the perfect flop? I am very disappointed. I would pay more for an all leather upper, cost is not an issue and how much more could it cost? I am sure someone was trying to save money and increase profits at reef but you are just driving customers away to have to find a competitor who has a product that the consumer wants. I don't want this new design and now i am forced to find someone who has a great product like you once had.

Looks cheap and if this is a size 11 men's sandal it would not fit a 10 year old. It is the size of a lady's size 5. I am returning them and will not re purchase. Very disappointed...

I purchased this product for my husband for Father's Day. I was so excited for him as he wears sandals most of the time and he also likes beer. I thought these would be perfect. Unfortunately, when he tried them on, he could not get his foot past the top strap. I ordered the correct size. I would like to size up, but it's out of stock online and there is no store near us. :(

These previously would last at least a couple years when I lived in Florida and used them daily throughout the year. I now live in a cold climate, and the pair I bought last summer fell apart in less than half a year. I had the brown/brown and the paint on the reef logo almost completely wore off in that period. The rubber in the back had almost wore down to the material surrounding the air bubble. And frankly they just weren't as comfortable as they used to be. Seems like reef decided to cut back on quality. I returned the pair from last year. I'm not buying these anymore.
