I had these shoes for years. Loved them. Felt great, really soft and comfortable, and I liked how I could put them on after getting out of the pool or ocean. I didn't like how the front part of the sole was so thin and the toe strap became week over the years and eventually ripped out of the sole. So, I just ordered the Slap ones because I like how the sole is thicker and the toe strap looks stronger (than the fanning).

Very nice sandal with much more support than your average flip flop. Bottle opener on bottom doesn\'t seem to scratch or rub on floor when walking, which I was afraid of. Pretty comfy.

These are very cute and attractive. They fit just fine and my foot is a little wide. They Squeak Squeak so much I am embarrassed to wear them or walk into the pool area at my health club. I didn't need the bottle opener on the bottom. Is that what makes them squeak so?

These shoes are very comfortable and I wear them almost daily. The only thing I don\'t like is the bottle opener on the bottom. I forget it is there and have scratched my patio furniture while propping my feet. Perhaps this could be an optional feature? Other than that, I am very satisfied. Thanks for asking my opinion.

Shoes are comfortable and true to size. I never used to be able to wear flip flops because the thong always bothered in between my toes. Didn't know until last year that Reef made the thong with soft ribbon material. Now I own a number of different colors and styles. These are a little stiffer than the other Reefs I have, but they are still very comfortable. They also have a bit of arch support which is great in a flip flop.

I absolutely love the way Reefs flip flops fit on your feet and they don't fall off and they are very comfortable. I have 2 pair, brown and white. The white ones get dirty quite fast. You just need to be careful with the ones with the bottle opener on the bottom because they have a tendency to scratch edges of things mainly when you are stepping up or off of something. Lastly, the bottle opener is a great idea for about the first month until you step in something...LOL.

I love Reef Fannings. They are the only flip flops I can wear that make my wide, high arched feet feel great. However, I must agree with the other reviewers - the 2009 collection runs smaller than the 2008 collection. Do you think Reef changed factories or something? I have 2007 and 2008 Fannings and those are both size 8's. However, for the new 2009 white/silver flips, I had to go a size larger (size 9). Also, the arch support isn't as good and the rubber is a bit harder. But overall, it's still a better sandal than most on the market.

Not as good as my old Fannings...
I ordered the Fanning again because I have had a pair for a few years and due to me wearig them everywhere, they have worn out! I must say that the new ones aren't nearly as comfortable as the old ones. I don't know if Reef changed the rubber they use or what, but they are much less "squishy" and the strap across the foot is a bit tight. My first pair were worn right out of the box with no break-in time needed, but these new Fannings really hurt the top of my foot and the arches were a bit sore after about 2 miles of walking. I'm hoping they will loosen up a little with time and be as great as my first pair!

Not as good as last seasons -
I have about a million pairs of Reef Fannings. I LOVE them! They provide pretty good arch support, are great for wide feet, and look cool. However, I found that this season's sandals are a bit tighter in the straps than last year's. I have the taupe/pink, citrus/lime, and the teal/white sandals. The straps on these sandals are much looser than the ones I just purchased (white/silver). Maybe they switched factories-who knows? But this year’s sandals are too tight for me. I had to return them, which was a shame, because the white/silver color rocks!

I love these sandals. They are very comfortable. The only problem is they are a bit too short and if I could, I would have bought them a 1/2 size larger.

I have not found a more comfortable flip flop. I am now through with the cheap flips you find at any local drug store. When I got these shoes I took them to a theme park and they held up magnificently! I would totally buy these again.

I was visiting family in Nebraska for a wedding. The day after the wedding me feet were killing me, of course, and nothing I put on them would help. I went to the mall to try and find a comfortable sandal. I tried on a zillion pairs. Then I slipped on the Reef Fanning and I never took them, off. They are the most comfortable flip flop sandal I have ever worn. I have worn them out and am now ordering more.

Fair comfort -
I was a little disappointed in the comfort of this particular style. I have other Reef's which I just love. This style caused a blister on top of one of my feet and the strap between the toes seem bulkier than usual.

Good thong -
I replaced a pair of Oakley thongs that I had 4 years before the slap broke. I loved the Oakleys. The Reefs are comfortable, but not as comfortable as the Oakleys. They are popular, I went to a local place recently and saw 3 other women with them on.

Love these. Fit to size of other Reef sandals. They feel like scuba gear a bit. Would be OK if they get wet.

These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn. They are true to size. Several people have stopped me to ask about them.

Not as cute as the Reef Sandy, but just as comfy -
Reefs have THE best and most comfortable flip-flops around. I love the Sandy flip-flop, but after my new puppy ate through her forth pair, I decided to try a different shoe. (I guess she loves 'em too). My husband has the Fanning and I've borrowed his a few times to take the dog out. They are super comfy. I don't think they are as cute as the Sandy and occasionally I will step on some uneven ground and snag the bottle opener, which is annoying, but they are a good solid comfortable flip-flop (and the puppy hasn't tried to eat them yet).

Best flip flops -
These flip flops are great - the only ones I've worn that have such good arch support. This is my second pair!

Reef Fanning -
I can only say that I ordered these 1 day prior to a major holiday and received them the day after the holiday. I don't know how Zappos does it but they have excellent service. I saw these and liked the colors (I ordered the pink and brown) however I have a narrow foot. The comfort level for me is just ok as they are too wide. I use them for the pool and casual wear. They are holding up really well (I live in Arizona).
I did read all the reviews and it was hard to judge as to whether they would be a good fit or a wide fit. On a positive note, the size was perfect and I would consider ordering another pair as they are very light to walk in. I am a Rainbow lover and these Reefs are my second favorite next to the Rainbow brand. Although they are wide for me they are still comfortable and don't come off when I walk in them. Hope that this helps.

Very stylish flip flop -
I love the look and the support is nice. The only thing is, and it's probably just me, the between the toe thingy is hard to get used to. It's probably just me though.

I got the Reef Fanning b/c I’m going to México next month & I thought the bottle opener might come in handy. ;) The free next day shipping was awesome & the sandals are pretty comfortable. Thanks Zappos!!

I really wanted to love these!
I have heard so many great reviews about Reef sandals that I really thought I would love them, unfortunately, I don't. The foot bed is really comfortable and the colors are great, but the toe strap is absolutely killing my feet. I kept telling myself I just need to break them in, but after many tries I just couldn't stand to wear them. Think I will stick with my Rainbows.

These shoes are totally comfortable. I bought the white/blue ones and these. The black ones ran smaller than the blue/white ones. Overall, great!

The Ultimate Party Shoe -
My favorite thing about these flips is the bottle opener in the sole. How genius is that? Otherwise, what can you say? They're flip flops. Not overly crazy about the 'whitewall' sides. They look great now, but they'll get dirty and dignify the overall look.
