Customer Reviews Reef Phantoms

This was tight across the top of my husbands foot.

I have only worn these a few times, and the paint on them is already wearing off. Expected them to last longer before signs of wear start to show on the shoe

They look well made, however, heeding previous reviews I read, I ordered the larger size for my son to offset the potential fit issues. They were then too long and still too tight. If you have a narrow foot, this shoe is for you. Unfortunately, I will be returning them.

I've had Reefs for years. I recently had to replace an ok pair of sandals from a different manufacturer. Saw these and liked the clean, no frills look. They do the job. The padding in front seems a bit thin. The strap is comfy and there was minimal break in time required. Only had em about 2 weeks so far so I'm sure they'll break in more.

Good quality but usually my boyfriend is a size 12 in reef sandals so I ordered a 12. These run extremely narrow where he could barely get them on his feet. Will be returning.

Though I still like your flips, I noticed the size was smaller. I have been purchasing the same size from years and this latest size(8) was about a half inch shorter.

I wear flip-flops over 95% of the time, weather permitting. Just received the new pair. I usually wear a size 12, but after reading comments, I opted for a size 13 to be on the safe side. The new pair was so narrow, that they were uncomfortable. I placed one against my old pair and the 13 was a tad shorter then my old size 12. Measuring with a ruler, the length was not 13, but around 12 1/4". Good looking flip-flops, but problem with the size. Also, I was a little concerned about the quality of material quality, especially the inside of the thong. Width seems to be about the same on 12'' vs 13'' but for some reason the thong fits much tighter on the new pair. I think if Reef offered a WIDE size, there would be less complaints about being too narrow or feels to small. I'm not gonna order a size 14 and hope that the width is gonna finally be comfortable, after going 2 sizes bigger.

Sizes run smaller in side-by-side comparison with older pair

The upper half of the flip flop's sandals are still pretty good. They're uncomfortably tight (as expected) when new, but the straps will stretch out eventually. I like how they're right to begin with, because I definitely can't stand wearing loose flip flops which are easy to kick off. The sole is made of some sort of hard plastic or rubber which is a serious drawback. When new, they were very slippery on hardwood and my concrete garage floor. Previous versions of this same product had more of a foam-rubber sole which cushioned each step. Hopefully the soles will loosen up like the straps do.

I have always liked the products from Reef, however I am deeply disappointed that they are made overseas and not in the USA. Due to this fact I'm not sure I'll purchase any more Reef products.

I bought a pair of reef sandals about eight years ago and loved them. I thought the phantoms would be the same, but they're not the strap on my old pair is totally fabric and there is a wide ridge at the base of the toe area. I wish I could find a pair like the ones I have.

It seems the sizes run small and the materials used are cheap for the price. I guess that's what I get for buying things online. The other pair I bought before these was from a store and they lasted a long time and were very comfortable.

Purchased for my son who normally wears a 6.. So small that he couldn't get his foot into it.. Definitely not true to size.

I liked the old Reef's better. They were more "spongy" and comfortable. I actually used the bottle opener on the bottom several times. Now it's gone away.
