Customer Reviews Reef Costa Rica

Nice flip flop - Cute style, upgraded from the usual flip flop. Fits pretty much true to size; if you are deciding between two sizes, I recommend ordering the larger one. I like the arch support.

Not a basic flip flop - I needed a narrow flip flop with arch support. Reef was the answer. These black ones are casual yet a step up from the normal vinyl looking flip flops. I wore these with a strappy sundress and of course at the beach. Perfect!

Uncomfortable arch support - I purchased the distressed gold Costa Rica flip flops, and was disappointed with the product. Although the color was a nice, muted gold, there is a bump in the flip flop bed that is supposed to help support your arches. Unfortunately for me, the arch support really made the fit of the shoe worse for me. I prefer flip-flops without that "bump" for arch support. If you prefer flat-soled flip flops, then you should look elsewhere. These flip flops were really comfortable, except for the arch problem. I had to return them. Costa Rica flip flops would be perfect if Reef removed the troublesome arch support in the sole of the shoe.

Not the same as my tobacco colored ones - I purchase Reefs once a year or so and I bought these in bronze because they are a dressier flip flop than my tobacco ones. However, they are different. They have a higher arch and because of the bronze paint on the shoe it doesn't absorb the moisture from my feet. Other than that, these are pretty comfortable but not as buttery soft as my other Reefs I've purchased in the past. But they are really cute in person and go with everything. I always size up to a 7 because I wear a 6 1/2.

Not exactly what I had in mind - I ordered these shoes in bronze. The photos did not show just how shiny they are. They are very comfortable, but flashier than I was anticipating. I hope that the shine will go down as I wear them more.

These are very foot-flattering and flashy (I got the bronze ones). They have good arch support and the strap is slightly stretchy which I like, but the sole is a little stiff. Maybe after I wear them for awhile they'll soften up.

Seem to run small - The first pair I received the leather was lifting off of the left shoe so I am sending those back. The arch takes a little getting use to, but these are more comfortable than your normal flip flips. For a really comfortable flip flop go for the Slap or Fanning by Reef, those are really comfortable. I love Reef, I can't stop ordering them, but they all fit different.

Cute flip flops - Cute reasonably priced flip flops. What you see is what you get.

I purchased 2 pairs of this flip flop based on customer reviews. I bought the black & bronze colors because those colors go with most of my wardrobe. They are comfortable for a flip flop but not to the point where I feel there is a great amount of arch support as claimed. That's asking a lot from a rubber sandal!! I do love them though and I'm very happy with this style. Very comfy and you really can walk all day in these. The fit is good, a little small where my heel is "just making it" before it hangs over. I'm happy I purchased both colors; I get a lot of wear out of them especially since all I wear in the summer are flips!

Comfy! I really like these sandals. They are worth the price. My only 'problem' was that there is extra room at the toes, maybe my toes are just shorter than most. I will live in these sandals all summer!

A bit narrow - These sandals are very cute, but they do run a bit narrow. Also, the stitching along the top of the foot is rough at first.

Good-loose fit - Cute flip-flop. Comfortable overall, but they are loose as some of the other reviews say. Not sure what you can do about that - ordering a smaller size could make them too short.

Gold Reef Costa Rica - I love these, but they feel a bit blocky compared to the other reef flip flops I've had before. I need to break them in, I guess. No complaints otherwise. Go to the half size lower than you would normally order so they fit right to your foot.

A good flip-flop for a good price - I bought this shoe for daily casual wear throughout the summer. The footbed has good arch support, which I need, and is hard to find in flip flop.

Zappos - It was great - these shoes came the day after I ordered them. Fit was a little big but size was right. They did give me a blister on the top of my foot. Overall, I like them.

Different than other Reefs - These are definitely more dressed up than other flip flops and has a prominent arch. I usually have to order an 8 in Reefs and I fit fine in a 7. I feel like the straps are not very supportive, but overall the shoe is definitely cute. I love the bronze color.

The essential summer flip flop but... I really like the sandal; however, it is a little big after wearing it for a little while. Because it is leather it gets bigger as you wear them. Still a great sandal but if I was to get another pair I would probably order a size smaller than I normally wear.

Great shoe - Comfortable, great flip flop. Feels sturdier than a lot of flip flops.

Comfy arch, a little shiny - I didn't realize bronze meant metallic, but these are still casual and the arch is good so they are comfy. Not sure how the footbed will wear with time...it is a shiny bronze too. I wear mostly with jeans but these could be your dress up pair of flip flops.

Good flip-flop - Comfortable and offers some support not found in many flip-flops.

One slight drawback . . . Like all Reef flip flops (the ultimate flip flops!), the Costa Rica has excellent arch support, and the metallic leather is attractive and will draw lots of looks. However, the strap isn't as comfortable as a woven nylon strap, and if I'm doing lots of walking on a hot day has a tendency to rub my feet and create a raw spot. It may break in with time, but I also plan to order another pair of Reefs for the summer, this time with the basic fabric strap -- they wear forever and you can't go wrong with them.

I purchased these for my teenaged daughter. Although I have never been a fan of flat, rubber flip flops, she loves them. They are as cushiony as something this flat can be. The thin, bronze strap is attractive. They do have a bit more arch support than others I have seen. If flip flops are your thing, I guess these are as good as any.

Fancy Flip Flops - The foot bed is a little slippery. It took some getting used to. These sandals have arch support and are otherwise comfortable.
