I ordered these for my son who wears a little kid 2.5 in Nikes with plenty of room to grow, but his heel was hanging off the back of the 2/3 size. I re-ordered the 4/5, and it fits with just a little extra room to grow into. Great flops, just order a full size up!

They are nice flip-flops and seem comfortable. They run small and I had to exchange the first one I bought for my son, who normally wears a size 13 but needed a size 2 -3 for these flip-flops. They seem a bit expensive for flip-flops.

My kids have found these to be reliable flip flops for the last several years. They don't hurt between the toes and stay on pretty well. I buy them, and they wear them with no complaints. Only problem is I think at the upper end of the spectrum they run small. My older son wore the 4/5 last year when his shoe size was probably 3.5-4, and this year, when his size is about 5 for other shoes, the 4/5 is too small. The reef website offers the big kids 6/7 size...but they are all sold out. Zappos does not offer kids 6/7. Kids size 6 is supposed to be the same thing as men's size 6 (scary--my 10 year old needs men's shoes?) so we ordered a reef men's size 6, and it was a bit too big. It seems we have a Goldilocks problem. Now we will head off to REI to try other brands, and so we can just try the darn things on! Minus one star for size frustration. FYI The heel straps are only on the very little kid sizes; if you order a larger size it will be the same pattern with no heel strap.

These are cute & my 3 yo loves them, however there needs to be a half size. The 7/8 is too big. I was going to return them for the next size down, but the 5/6 was too tight & my son complained. I ended up keeping the 7/8, but the back strap really doesn't help because it's so loose. He's basically just wearing regular flip flops. And unfortunately they don't always stay on all that well when he's playing. Hopefully his foot will grow a little this summer because the arch support is so much better than on cheap flat flip flops. Would give 5 stars if they had some in between sizes.

These ran on the bigger size of 11-12, I would say more like a 12. They flopped around too much on my son's feet so he didn't like them and we had to return. I really wanted to keep them because they are a great cor and look!

My 4 year old son wore his "flippers" every day after opening the box. He loved them. However, my purchase was for Reef's with the back strap and they came strapless. The padding isn't great like I know Reef's can be, but doable.

I ordered these for my 7 yo. Size 4-5, he wears a 3.5 tennis shoe. I loved the shoe...seemed comfortable but quite small. I wanted to order the next size up but they don't have it. I would definitely order bigger than you expect.

Cute flip flop however the straps tend to fall down and need tightening frequently. Otherwise comfy according to my 3 year old.

Love the flip flops and my 3 year old son thinks they are comfortable. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the picture shown had the backstrap and his size did not come with it. I wish they had options for backstrap in higher sizes so children who have big feet for their age can still play safely in them.

The picture of the shoe when ordering a size 11 makes it appear that it would have a back strap; however, it does not for this size. This is a good show otherwise.

These are great little shoes. I would say they run a little small. But they are good quality.

Since the size was a 13/1, feel that they are similar to a 13.5. Cute on and have a fabric piece vs rubber between the toes, which is more comfortable to my son.

My son doesn't love wearing shoes in the summer so the next best thing to barefeet are flip flops.

This is the second pair of Reef Kids Ahi that my son has owned. The last pair we got 2 years ago and he was able to wear it for 2 summers. The shoe has been updated in past 2 years. The shoe is wider and seems heavier. When he is running with them on they make a loud slapping sound on the floor. Not as happy with the new version, but will keep them. They are durable and comfortable.

Very nice sandals. Back strap was too tight so cut it off and my son says they are comfortable now.

I do like this sandal, it's well made and I feel like the sizing is just right. I am however disappointed that the size 12 (or 11.5, can't remember what I ordered now!) does not have the support strap on the back, which is the main reason why I ordered it. My 4 year old has big feet but not fully coordinated to keep regular flip flops on. But hopefully he will get used to wearing them and quit waddling like a penguin before summer is over

Kids likes these sandals. He is 2 years old and only took about 2 days of wear to break them in. Back strap did rub on the sides of his feet initially but didn't seem to bother him too much. He wore a size 7-8 and seemed to fit spot on.

I bought a size 5/6 because my son's foot is 5" long. The shoe was over 6" long so I exchanged it for a 3/4. The 3/4 is just under 6" long and is still way too big. I am very confused as the shoes completely do not match the size chart. His other shoes from Walmart are a size 4 and fit well. His size 4 New Balance from Zappos are smaller than that but he can squeeze his foot in.
