The Reef Fanning collection is amazing. Bottom line. I bought my first pair in 2006 when I was working at a shoe store and they have lasted me this far. I have bought several other pairs just for the purpose of having them. They are the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn in my entire life. I've worn them on the beach, at home, walking around town, hiking - everywhere. They are amazing. Anyone looking for an amazingly comfortable, durable, fashionable sandal should get a pair of Reef Fannings. Plus, the bottle opener in the bottom definitely comes in handy... you know, to open your soda bottles! ;)

Worth The Money - I struggled with spending this much on a pair of sandals, however, these have been well worth it! They are comfortable and they fit perfectly. Overall they are a great buy! My only concern was with the bottle cap opener on the bottom... I am not sure if they will allow these sandals on a plane because of them. I would put them in checked luggage if you're flying, just to avoid any unnecessary hang ups in airport security.

Better than a regular flip flop - This sandal is great! They only come in whole sizes, and I'm usually an 8, so I ordered an 8 and they fit, but there wasn't much room around the toes, so I exchanged them for a 9, which was perfect. Width is average. It has cushion to it and didn't need to be broken in. The first day I wore them I walked around a zoo, and they were very comfortable! No blisters or anything like I usually get with new shoes. I also had them out on a boat and they are waterproof and dried quickly. The bottle-opener on the bottom is an added bonus, and it does work, but I didn't get them for that purpose. Overall great sandals!!

When my girlfriend told me she wears these for travel, I thought she was nuts. Anything between the toes can't be good for extensive walking. I was wrong. These are the most amazing flip flops and I wore them all over Europe (along with a similar pair from Reef, the Leather Slap flip flops). They never, ever caused any discomfort or rubbing and were so supportive in the arches and heel cup, I couldn't believe it. The bottle opener on the bottom is a quirky little plus, but I actually did use it several times. I will be buying more, for sure. I am typically a size 9 in shoes, but I did end up with 10's. So easy to exchange and reorder with Zappos.

Reef Fanning - I love these thongs so much that this order was my 3rd pair! The most comfortable flip flops I've ever worn. I normally wear a size 9 but have a narrow foot and prefer this thong style not be too loose so I size down to an 8 for the narrowness. If you have an average to wide foot stick with your usual size and you'll be happy. Love the taupe/ pink color, looks awesome with a summer tan.

Reef's Fanning - My daughter has these and I tried them and they felt like slippers! So I bought a pair for myself. Lots of times "thong type" sandals are uncomfortable until broken in. These are not, but they do get even more comfortable with wear.

Be the most popular guy on the beach with Fanning Reefs - ...even if it is only because of the church key bottle opener in the sole of these outstanding flip-flops! Best sandals I've ever owned - great arch support, cushioning, and ergonomic footbed. I bought myself a pair and loved them so much, I went out a bought a pair for my boyfriend, my father, my brother, and some of my friends. Outstanding product - I hope they don't ever change them!

Very cute - I really like the look of these sandals. I got the taupe/pink and they are very versatile. It's taking me some time to get used to the thong, but I love them.

Best Flip-Flop Ever - The Fanning W is the best flip-flop ever created. They are so comfortable you will never want to wear another flip-flop ever again. Plus, they are super cute and sporty. Also, the bottle opener on the bottom is good for a laugh, even if you wouldn't actually use a bottle opener that has been constantly in contact with the ground.

Love The Fanning - I've been having problems with my feet and wanted a shoe with a little more arch support. The shoe is comfortable, fits true to size, and looks great. As for Zappos, I ordered my shoes on a Monday night and had them when I got home from work on Wednesday. You can't beat the service from Zappos!

Love my Reef Fannings - This is my 2nd pair of Fannings and I plan to buy more. I normally wear a size 6.5 and bought these in a size 6. They fit perfectly. I can only wear shoes with good arch support and these are great. I wear them all day long and my feet and legs feel great.

These Reefs are the best!! I keep buying these year after year. The fit, the feel and the bottle opener, actually used a few times, are all wonderful. I have never found a sandal with a better fit. It feels like it was made for your foot.

Very Comfortable - I have really bad plantar fasciitis and I hate to walk around the house without shoes on because my feet kill me! These shoes are like butter on my feet and I never have problems with foot pain when I wear them, even when I've been on my feet a while. Definitely recommend them!

Great one! I like this flip flop better than my Columbia’s. The Columbia’s have a suede look foot bed, and it looks worn and dirty after just a few wearings. I like the way they feel... but not the way they were looking. After replacing twice I tried this Reef; and love it! Comfort is great; good arch support; and the foot bed doesn't show wear.

Perfect! Comfort, style, and traction. This shoe has it all. It is very padded in the heel area and fits like a glove. I have wide feet so finding a sandal that fits perfectly is hard. REEF does that!

I love my shoes! My Reefs are so comfortable. I just love to wear them. I look forward to buying them in all of the colors available. Your free shipping makes all the difference. I ordered my shoes on Tuesday afternoon and they were delivered the next day. Bravo!!!!! Keep up the good work!

Reef Fanning flip flops - These have to be the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Last fall we went up to Northern California, camping. I wore these to hike up granite rocks, at the beach and everywhere. They are awesome. I know have 5 pairs of these in different colors.

They Made a Believer Out of Me! I never thought of myself as the kind of girl who would use a shoe to open bottles, but nonetheless, there I was last summer on a beach at sunset with a bucket of Coronas and no opener... I also never thought I would wear flip-flops: Painful memories from childhood about blisters between my toes and the annoying "pop-pop" sound as someone wearing them strode by permanently ruined them as a choice shoe. Until... One day last year, I was here poring over sandals to get me through the summers here when I found the adorable Slapper W's (also by Reef) in pink. I read the positive reviews for some reason and thought I could try a pair. Well, 4 pairs later, here I am again, checking out this year's colors and styles. That "annoying" sound is now endearing as it resounds "comfort!", and I have yet to get a blister! Today, I'm going to buy the Hamacitas. I already know I'm gonna love 'em!

Awesome!!! I purchased my first pair of Reef Fanning at Pac Sun, after that I was hooked. I've had my first pair for about 3 years and decided to get another pair for the upcoming summer. I wear them all the time and don't have to worry about getting them dirty or wet. I just hose them off or throw in the washer. Great Shoe!!!!!

Excellent - I first purchased Reef Fanning 10w womens and they just didn't fit right, they felt too narrow and not quite long enough. I then purchased mens 9 d medium and they were perfect. I just took them on vacation to the Caribbean with me and wore them all week. They didn't even need to get broken in - plus they have a lot of support.
