I love the smoothy - will continue to buy them for as long as I can. I should consider purchasing more than one pair at a time so I can always have an extra pair.

I have been wearing the smoothy for 15 years, and replace once a year or so. This year I'm disappointed to find myself between the 8 and 9 when the 8s had fit well always. They seem a by narrower for length than past and definitely shorter. Why change something so great!?

Not as good as they used to be. A lot stiffer, not really as comfortable. Maybe they will last longer? My last pair lasted 3 years though, so I don't know how that would be possible. Still reefs, just not smoothys anymore.

I've been buying and wearing reefs most of my life. I purchased the men's version because they didn't have my size in the women's version. Another reviewer said that this years smoothy ran small so I ordered a men's 9 / women's 11 when I usually get a men's 8 / women's 10. I should have gone another size up. The strap and the sole feel great, per usual, but the length of the sole is shorter than normal. My heels hit right at the edge. I'm still wearing them because they fit great every where else, but just be forewarned that they might be smaller than you're used to.

These are overly thick and heavy. Note that the straps on the top make the fit rather tight, though they may expand over time.

I have worn these shoes all day long for years and years. They are the only shoes that didn't give me blisters when I traveled around the world for 3 months. I wear them all day at home, and all the time everywhere. I've tried other Reefs but only like Smoothies soles. They are so comfortable. My only complaint is that I wish they looked girlier with the same exact soles. The girly Reefs are either too high, or too low. I want these soles on all my shoes forever.

My third pair of Reefs. They seem to last about Three years for me. Very comfortable, good price, found Zappos online. Great selection. If these last as long, that will be fine. Shipping was fast - four days and free. Thank you.

Can't say enough good things about Reef sandals. These do not disappoint. Super comfortable and durable, strap doesn't dig, they wash out easily. Not recommended for wet conditions...if it might rain, wear something else or be prepared to slide right out of them.

The last pair I bought was a size too small. I could not wear them. I have very wide feet which is why I buy mens flip flops. I have what people call Fred Flintstone feet. Womens shoes dont usually fit me. All I ever wear is flip flops. I live in them. Please fix this problem?

These run small. I wear a 10 which is fine in a Teva, but small in a Reef. I am now returning the 10 and getting an 11.

I was glad that I read the reviews and I ordered a size up from my normal size, the review was right they are about a size too small. I just received them last week and I'm still breaking them in wearing them inside my home. I plan on wearing them outdoor patio, by the pool and at the beach.

These are great flip flops, but they run short! My son's foot still measures slightly under a 7 so I ordered him a 7. His heel hangs off the back a little. We are hoping that once the straps stretch out that his foot will push farther forward, as he does have a little bit of room at the toe. I wanted to send them back for an 8, but my son didn't want to part with them. They must be comfy!

Unfortunately, this years"smoothy", measure about 1 size smaller than last years model. I wear size 12 to 13 shoe depending on the maker. This Aug 2013, I ordered and got, a size 13 "smoothy". My feet just barely stay within the edges of these flip flops. Its taking some getting use to but they seem to be working out. Had I known that they were sized smaller this year, I would have purchased the next size up. I'm a big man, 6'2" 230lbs. My wt tends to smoosh and flatten down the cushion on these smoothy's, over time. So, with in around 8 to 12 months, I have to buy a new pair. And thats fine as they are not expensive. My point it that last years model had more to it; more to stand up to my 230lbs frame. Not sure this yrs will hold up. Crossing the fingers as I bought two pairs of this years. I love this brand of REEF flip flops otherwise. The most comfortable things Ive ever worn on my feet. And I hope they are around for years to come!

I have bought these for 20 years and I just recently purchased some for my wife and myself. They ran a full size smaller than they used to be. I don't know if that is because they are made in China now. So order a full size longer.

My husband lives in these shoes. He's a size 10.5 shoe and typically buys these in a size 10. The latest pair we purchased were too tight at a size 10 though, so we had to go up to an 11. It's not a major difference, but something to be aware of if you are like him and just order the same shoes over and over.

Boyfriend loves these! Ordered him another pair. He normally wears a 10.5 so I ordered a size 11 the arrived quickly but they were way too small. Sending them back and getting a 12.

I ordered three pairs of these in 8,9 and 10. I usually wear a men's 7. The 8's fit me..a little on the small side but the 9 was too big. My husband usually wears a 9 and had to take the 10's. Jury is still out on mine. The top strap is so tight I can barely wiggle my toes into them. Husband is wearing his which were also too tight but he says they're stretching out. I'm going to wait and see how much his stretch before I decide if Zappos get them back. I'm really disappointed in the new styling of these Reefs. I've been wearing these for many years. I love them because they are (were)wide and the straps don't rub. They have started making them narrower (I have duck feet) and cheaped out on that last 1/4 inch of fabric that they should have added to the straps. I will revise this review when I learn if they are going to stretch enough to fit my feet. These arrived within two days to Vermont. Love the free returns. Keeps me coming back.

These are a pretty comfortable, squishy style of cheap thongs. They have a bump in the arch area which is fairly unobtrusive (I prefer a flat sandle). They do feel really narrow for some reason. The only real negative at this price point is the sole. It's a harder rubber than usual, almost plastic feeling, and I noticed it was slippery on tile flooring. I think I will be returning these and intend on purchasing another pair of the slightly more expensive and lower profile Reef Cushions to alternate with the Clarks thongs I bought.

These are great. I wish they were wider. I wear a 9 2E but to make these fit I got a 12 and cut two inches off the heel.

I wear my reefs every day and everywhere. They are fabulous. They last for years. When my last pair finally wore out...I posted to Facebook about it - I was so sad. I received my new pair in just two days! Happy again in my reefs!
