Haven't worn them much cause its 40 degrees outside. But around the house they seem legit. Bottle opener on the bottom is genius.

Wish it did not have bottle opener. Why no more "slap" style

Great shoe but the packaging was bad. No box they use through them in a bag and shipped them

These are great! I wish they were slightly narrower but they are still great. I absolutely love how the bottoms grips really well. I've had a problem with some that have cloth bottoms or just slick soles. These are much better. I really didn't want to spend that much money on flip flops but they really are much better quality than the cheap shoes and definitely worth it if you wear them like I do!

The most comfortable pair of flip flops i've ever worn! Only complaint is that the arch is partially supported with a piece of metal, which of course makes for better arch support. May not be the best for traveling though. It's also grazed my big toe a few times while walking. But I really love these shoes. The break-in period was about a week (for the fabric upper to feel comfortable.)

The Reef Fanning has been my stand by for I can't say how many years. My current 10? year old pair has been through day to day walking, impromptu hikes when I should never have been in flip flops, beaches, lots of rain and several HURRICANES. To say I'm attached is an understatement. They are sturdy and hold up. Yes, the foot bed is hard and no arch support, but that's a given with this style. They are stable and trustworthy. I would gladly do an unpaid commercial for this shoe. Love them as I do, it was time for a new pair. But what is going on with sizing?? The new Size 8 in charcoal black is really cute but is WAY SMALLER!!! My heels hang over the back and my foot hangs over the side and even my front toe hangs off a little!!, and the straps are super tight + hurt between toes. It is the IDENTICAL model. I checked the tag because it fit like a 7. Yes, I'm positive my original pair is an 8. The material and workmanship appear just as good as my originals. Straight back in box to return. I'm so sad. Apologies to Zappos for two Reef returns in a row and thank you so much.

Shoes rock!! As expected. Paid about 20 bucks for next day shipping. Must have missed the fine print... didnt get em till monday morn. Ordered Thursday before 5 eastern. Shame on me I guess, but sucked. Website Shouldn't take any "next day" shipping requests after Thursday's cut off. (It sure accepted payment thought)

I've had at least 6-8 pair of Fannings, and every single pair has had the same failures after 4-8 months of wear - the toe strap breaks and/or pulls out of the footbed, and the top straps gradually pull out of the footbed as well. Reef has replaced a couple of pairs under warranty, and the replaced pairs suffered the same failures. Since I don't wear these year-round, it's often taken more than one calendar year for the failures to occur, so the sandals are usually out of warranty when they break.

I bought these to replace another well-loved pair. Love the sole- feels like walking on a cloud. The old pair was feeling stretched out, thus the replacement. The only disappointment was that the new ones didn't feel any tighter as expected. Guess these wouldn't be good for narrow feet. Wish there was a way to make them fit more snug

Seems like the quality is different. I have been wearing these for years and I can definitely feel the difference

I bought the item for my husband's birthday . He unfortunately left the sandals in the car causing them to warp. Otherwise no problem with shipping .

Bought mine at BJ's and still have them in stock but not all sizes... White with glittery silver on the sides. Love them..and they have the metal soda openers on the underside of the sole in front of the heel. Still in great shape & very comfortable...

These are good sandals. Well built. Great color green. Comfortable around the toes. These are not the super cushion sandals, they are harder but are still comfy to wear. The placement of the logo kinda bothers me. I can feel the logo on my heel. Not a big deal. Perhaps the pair I got is just a bit rough. I will never use the bottle opener on the bottom though because that is gross.

My last pair of reef sandles lasted almost 4 years. I wore them every chance I could, they were so comfortable. I was very satisfied with the quality of the product. I ordered another pair and received them within a week. However, I have sent several emails and enclosed a photo of the fraying in between the toe. I understand that sometimes there are defective products and would like to swap them out. Still waiting on an answer. One star deducted for customer service.

I would have given these sandals five stars except for one reason. I have only worn this a few times so far and the color on the reef emblem has already started to peel off. Obviously not the biggest of issues but would have liked to see that last longer considering the cost of the sandals.

This is a nice looking beach sandal. Unfortunately it did not fit my foot. The strap was close to the toe which positioned my foot so that my toes were on the edge or slightly beyond the edge of the shoe. The fit was not comfortable. I had to return them.

Like the shoe - cute, comfy. But really not a supportive shoe for people with foot issues. Seems it would be great support for regular feet.

Ilhave been wearing these flip flops for over 10 years, but the colours are getting worse. Black, white, pink and brown, when are you going to make the brightly coloured flip flops again ??

Over the years I have purchased countless pairs of the Reef Fanning shoes. It's by far the most comfortable and durable flip flops I own. I buy at least one pair every Spring. I would buy more, but for some reason you have quit making the Fanning in colors. I continue to check and hope to see if you are listening to your customers about our desire for a wider variety of lighter colors. I will always purchase a black pair each year, but you're missing out on more sales. Don't change anything about the design and structure...just give us some color!!

Great quality construction. One suggestion would be to not embos the REEF logo in the heel of the flip flop as it digs in a little and takes some comfort away.

I literally had my last pair cut off after I fell and broke my ankle and leg in them! So I am very happy to be able to flip flop again! I wish there was pink on the outside, but at least there is some hidden pink!

Great shoes. I've had them before. Basically healed my plantar fasciitis. Only thing is, i forgot this shoe runs small. My husbands we're a little small too. Order half or full size up.
