I wear a size 12, I have a pair of older reefs that are a size 12 that are the most comfortable shoes i own, these were too small, too narrow, still waiting on the return to process. Purchased a size 13 and they are still very narrow.

I was not happy with the color. It was supposed to be red but to me looks more like an orange. I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to wearing them with several outfits.

I love the sandals, however I have had the webbing material start to deteriorate after a few months of use. The brown 'finish' on the material had flaked off on the last two pairs I have owned

Love shoe but looked a lot brighter in the picture so I was disappointed in the fullness of the color. I take a size 7 in men's and they were too big.. they must run big.

The straps on these shoes were way to sloppy and large to hold my foot in. I would have to curl my toes up with each step. The base was quite wide too but I probably would have kept them if the straps fit. I think the bottle opener on the bottom is a novelty but I wouldn't use it because gross stuff is usually on the soles of shoes.

Not for wide feet! I was really focused on finding a sandal to wear around the house that had great arch support and wasn't going to cost $100. And I truly thought I found it with these Reefs! The reviews were so positive! If I could only get them on past my toes, I would be able to leave a review about the comfort level. The straps are so short and have zero give so my sad, wide feet couldn't get into them. I'm giving 2 stars Overall because they're really cute and have good potential but comfort-wise, they get 0 stars. Returning and now back to the drawing board!

Fit, style, and cushion (heel area) outstanding. Toe area not so much. Too thin or lack of cushion in the toe are. The balls of my feet would starting hurting after wearing them for 1/2 he or so. Other than that, the sandals were well built and fit great. Purchased a 10 with my normal size a 9.5 shoe.

after reading stellar reviews i was all set to love these - but i don't. they feel too tight to be worn long term, the upper is stiff and seemingly unforgiving and no self respecting adult person needs a shoe that doubles as a bottle opener. i'll leave leave these to the millennials. returning and going back to merrell.

Reef is really disappointing me. These are way too wide, another style I purchased was too short. They used to be so consistent.

I am puzzled at all the positive reviews on these flip flops. They are only,moderately comfortable. The arch support is marginal. The heel cushioning is sub-par. I wear Fit-Flops and they are way more comfortable than these shoes. I normally wear an 8 1/2. I purchased the 8 in these which was the right size for my medium width foot. If I went up to a 9, I’d be falling out of these sandals. The only cute thing about these shoes is that they have a bottle opener in the arch support. While that can be handy if you are a lover of Corona, I think it would have been wiser to put better arch support and heel cushioning in the shoe. Until then, I’m sticking with my Fit-Flops and Birkenstock’s.

I used to love these Flip flops as this is my third pair, however, you have changed the design. Now they feel more narrow and actually just aren't nearly as comfortable as they used to be. I know the strap between toes is also a new material, which I thought was for the better. Pretty bummed out about the purchase and won't be buying another pair.

I wear a 13. I ordered a 14 and it's still snug. Like the style though wearing them for awhile and hopefully they will stretch out/wear in.

Normally I'd give 5 stars for my Reef's (I've probably bought 10 pair over the years) but the "uppers" on my recent purchase are simply too loose for me to wear so I've returned them. I've been seeing this as a hit-or-miss issue lately, but I simply cannot make this pair work. Also - would y'all please come out with some funky floral prints, pink polka dots or baseball-themed flip flops again? They've been kinda boring lately.....

I've always been a huge fan of Reef flip flops in how comfortable and how long they lasted, however I can't say the same about the last pair I bought. I'm not sure the models I've bought previously but the ones I have now are Fannings and are already falling apart after only wearing them for three months

I ordered a pair of Reefs, flip flops that I love, but I ordered them in the wrong size. I immediately sent them back with a drawing of the outline of my foot and asked for a new pair in exchange. It's been well over a week since the company has received the returned pair back, according to the post office, but I have heard nothing from the company, and have not seen a new pair of Reefs yet. I hope I don't have to disputed the charges for Reefs I don't have. I would rather leave a good review.

I will admit they are very comfortable and I did love them but I didn't even get nine months out of them the tow strap broke. It's not the first pair of owned but I was very surprised to get a short life out of them .

I like the way the shoe looks. I thought it would be comfortable warring it. I feel like it that it would be more softer when walking

I usually wear an 8.5 but the sandals run really small. I think a 9.5 could have fit. I am going to have to send back. They appear to be quality made though.

These shoes aren't the same fit of previous Fanning shoes. Material very still and wider than expected. Disappointed and returned.

First Reef shoes I purchased were the Reefedge, and they are the best flip-flops I have ever owned.They fit like a glove! Could not find them anywhere and saw that the Reef Fanning style flip-flops. They look so similar, I thought for sure I could wear them just like the Reefedge. Disappointed, I had to return them, they run extremely wide, could not keep them on my feet. I would give them a 5 star rating if they did not run so wide and I would most like purchase several pair in different colors.

I have worn Reef sandals for over 10 years as my daily footwear as long as the weather permits and sometimes even when it is time to switch to closed shoes. The sizing has changed. I just ordered 3 pairs and had to return all because they were too wide.
