Customer Reviews Reef Smoothy

Little narrow to start out, always have to work a pair of Smotthy's in.

I've been wearing Reefs for around 30 years now. Always bought US size 10. This time they are too small.

I love this sandal since forever just sad one is loose. The right sandal.

I've been buying Reef sandals for quite a while. While still a good sandal, they are smaller all around and not as soft as my previous ones. They were not called Smoothys when I bought my last pair, but they look mostly the same with the EVA foot bed. When held up against each other, it's easy to see that the new ones are shorter and the EVA is not as soft. Still a good sandal, just not a great one for me.

Just received to replace my aged ones that have stood up very well to a lot of use. What I notice immediately: Length: these are smaller than my previous size 8 (held them together to verify after I tried them on). Width: they also feel narrower and takes a bit of effort to get my feet into the straps. (I'm hoping this will change once the straps stretch a little bit) Comfort: the foot bed does not feel as spongy as my previous pair. The new foot bed feels far more stiff. (I can't really speak on the comfort difference yet, though) Sole: while the sole looks identical, this sole feels more like hard plastic versus any kind of rubber. When walking on hard wood floors, the sole actually slips on the floors! If it makes any difference, mine are marked as made in Mexico. Overall, I'm not thrilled about the differences that I detect and will put them through the paces in my upcoming travel as my primary foot wear.

Big problem with the size of this years"Smoothy", model. I have a size 12 to 13 foot depending on where product is manufactured. I ordered these in a 13. When I put them on, my feet barley fit in space now provided. The problem is that over time, the cousin starts to give and the flip flop starts to squash down or flatten out. When this happens, the foot has more chances of slipping over the edges of sole. Last years model, as the years prior, had more space around the foot; sides, front and back. So, when the flattening started to happen, my feet stayed safely on the flip flop. Unfortunately the manufacture Reef used for this years model, must have decided to save a few cents and cut off some of the material on the "Smoothy". Reef should have made this clear and told the customer to buy one size up. Its a cheap move and they should have corrected it. I love my "smoothys", and get a pair every year. I hope this isn't my last year. I'll see how this pair wears. They usually last about 8 to 12 months. I fear this years will not last as long due to their cost cutting on quality. We will see.

These used to be the best sandals out there. Now they are too small and too narrow. I don't know why they messed with something that was so good. They are still very comfortable, but too narrow and about a half size too small. Hope they go back to how they were or this will be my last pair!

I am not sure why these are so narrow and stiff now, but they are just not what they used to be. I have had three pair of these over the last ten or so years, but now I am going to have to find another brand because of the fit and design changes. I have a narrow foot and yet these are too tight and the footbed is too narrow. I don't know how a man or anyone with an average width foot could wear them.
