I can barely squeeze my feet in them as the profile of the straps are so confining they hurt my feet. I would return them but I got a special deal and feel like I should just give them away to someone. I wore reefs throughout my surfing years and never had this problem.

Within 3 months the strap came right out of the side of the sandal. I've owned multiple pairs of Reef's before and they have always lasted a long time. Not impressed with these.

Strap was very tight, length was short for the size, sole was plastic, cheap feeling and slippery. Footbed is not as thick and cushioned as my old pair of phantoms. I've worn reef phantoms for years... something has changed with these new ones and it's not good. Unfortunately, I had to return mine.

I like reef flops but since they sent me an email asking about them.... they are one week old and the logo fell off. Little knobs stick up and rub my heel raw. These don't seem to be like others I purchased in the past

I wouldn't purchase these and I regret getting them in the first place. I took these on vacation with me and the toe thong literally came out. They were about 3 months old and not abused. I trashed them while on vacation since there was nothing I could do. I contacted Reef customer service and they won't do anything since I don't have the receipt. I'd go with another brand that values it's customers.

Felt good, nice to wear.
I ordered them on July 25th 2016, and they broke on September 14, so they didn't last very long.
The part that goes between your toes broke off just from wearing them about an hour a day for less than 2 months.

Didn't even get a chance to wear them. I ordered a 12, I wear an 11.5 shoe. Length was great, only the width was off. They were not wide enough and I had to send them back.

I own three pairs.........bought this one, same size.......but for some reason seemed two sizes too small. I returned them and re-ordered this time selecting the Fanning instead hoping the fit is better.

Let me begin by saying that Reef Phantoms were my favorite and only sandal. Over the last several years I purchased and wore out at least 6 pairs. They were comfortable and amazing and the arch support was great. Unfortunately, after my last pair broke a few days ago, I visited a couple local retailers looking for replacements and I was horrified. The new redesigned Phantoms are essentially unwearable. The straps are unbelievably tight. This makes it very hard to put the sandals on and uncomfortable to wear once on. In addition, the arch support (while still decent) seems like it may have been lessened. I'm saddened that Reef turned the best pair of sandals out there into garbage. I'd willingly purchase 10 pairs of the old ones at full price if I could get them.

I am very disappointed. They have only been worn a handful of times and are already falling apart. I have had cheap flip-flops from Old Navy last for years.

I bought these for my dad - he's had the same exact pair for at least a year or two and they were good shoes. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with this pair. They broke within a week of him wearing them and it wasn't due to anything he did. The sole of the shoe is apparently 2 pieces glued together and it's already separated on his. I have a feeling this is a faulty pair but we won't be buying this style again.

Bought these for my son in July, and the thong between the toes pulled out by August. They are stylish, but really poor quality for Reef and for the high cost. I wouldn't buy these again.

Started fraying within one month of use (light use, from the locker room to the pool deck and back). Cosmetically a mess, still functional.

Just terrible, I can't believe how narrow these are. I don't need a wide shoe in any other brand, but these are unwearable in my normal size. These sandals are so narrow it makes me wonder if these were factory rejects that had the straps installed in the wrong position.

Over priced for quality. Sandal flattens out real quick. Material pancakes to much.

I've worn Reefs for years and wouldn't buy anything else. The Reef Phantoms looked closest to my current pair so I ordered them. The size is exactly the same as my current pair, but the "thong" seemed much tighter - and I assumed it would stretch with wear. I wore them in the house for a few days and then ventured out. Within an hour or so the thong had caused a bloody blister my left foot so they are retired to my closet. Maybe I'll try them again when my foot heals.

Buy Reefs - but not this model

Absolutely awful. I wear a size 13 in most shoes; size 14 in a few others. Bought a pair of Reef sandals last year and had to go up to a size 15. Bought the Phantoms this year, again in size 15, and they are horribly uncomfortable in several areas. They are also BARELY long enough for my foot. I basically have to jam my foot in there like I'm putting on a snug penny loafer. This is NOT how a sandal should fit or feel. It's a shame I've walked a couple miles in them already or I would return them in a split second.

Very bulky bottom, and uncomfortable. When you walk in them you will feel it doesn't quite flow like a sandal/shoe should. Pay the extra money to get a better quality Reef sandal.
