Customer Reviews Reef X-S-1

Wowzas! These flip flops are the most comfortable I've ever owned (more so than Reef Fanning and Rainbows). They fit like a glove and they dry quickly! I have never believed in "shock absorbing" gimmicky stuff that is on a lot of footwear nowadays, but I really think these do their job. Also, I had ordered these at 3pm on Tuesday and they came the following day - it was amazing for free shipping! In conclusion, I love these Reef sandals and Zappos' service is amazing as always!

Best sandal ever, I've always loved Reef's and now I never wear my old sandals because these are so much more confortable.

Great flip flop - very soft & comfortable. A little pricey and due to the soft sole I think will wear out quicker than Reef Fanning style previously purchased. Nice style.

Look good, feel good, and Zappos must have shipped them on a rocket sled because they were delivered before I knew what was happening! Great job!

I own 6 pairs of reefs. The X-S-1 is, by far, the most comfortable Reef they make. I would have no problem wearing them all day to a theme park or standing on concrete 8 hours a day.

5 stars for Reef sandals and 6 stars for Zappos. Having worked for Southwest Airlines, I know what Positively Outrageous Customer Service looks like. Zappos knows how to seduce and cherish their customers. They make you want to brag to your family and friends about how you got special treatment. I order sandals at 9pm on Thursday and Zappos generously upgrades my shipping and Bam! they arrive the next day around noon. How is that possible? I've waited longer for pizza delivery. Zappos plays for keeps. They don't want to give you a reason to shop anywhere else. The free shipping both ways makes the transaction risk-free.

5 stars for Reef sandals and 6 stars for Zappos. The sandals are great with cushion sole and shock absorbing midsole. Having said that, it is hard to justify this much for footwear that doesn't cover the entire foot.

Great buy, Church Key doesn't work well though. But I don't drink so no problem! Blessings.

These are by far the most comfortable Reef sandals (or any other brand) I own. The heel flexes gives way just enough to adsorb the impact exerted on it with every step. I'm 245lbs and they maintain there form perfectly when I stand on them. Felt so good I bought a second pair. They look great and feel great, what more can you ask from a flip flop? If Reef keeps making sandals like this, they'll have a customer for life.

You can never go wrong with Reefs. They last awhile and they are comfortable to the max, but this pair by far are the most comfortable.

Best flips I've found to date! Better than Sanuk, Rainbow and other premium brands! All day long comfort!

This sandal is by far the most comfortable I have owned. Reef makes great products and I have owed several of the models with the shock air bubble or pocket in the rear and decided to try these out. I noticed a difference right away and will keep buying these over the air models any day. You won't be disappointed.

I have over 20 pairs of Reef flip flops including Fannings, Vision, Phantoms and HTs and my new X-S-1s are by far the most comfortable, durable and best looking of all of them. The X-S-1s fit your feet like a glove and I can't wait to put them on every day. Will be ordering more pairs of these in the future.

Extraordinarily comfortable and durable flip flops. I put these through a brutal break-in and they performed fantastically. The drainage system is a must have if you're going anywhere near water. And the shocks aren't for show, those things work. Best flip flops I have ever owned.

I have always worn size 13 Reef Fannings. Bur these are just samller, visually seen when held against a Fanning sandal, both of the same size.

As close to an all-purpose athletic flip-flop as I've seen (this year). I need a pair for walking around on the beach as well as walking on NYC's hard hot summer sidewalks that won't leave my feet feeling like they've been beaten by hammers at the end of the day. These are replacing my Fanning 02's (I miss them) from last year and so far so good. Totally cushion all over, but especially on the heel. Water drains right out, and the soft strap gave me zero blisters straight out of the box. They're totally lightweight and well made, although these are the first Reef's I've had that seem to run a half-size small. It would be nice if there was a leather option, but it's nice these are so waterproof.

I found these to be much harder to break in than another pair of lower cost Reef flops that I own. They are comfortable, but eat my toes up. Just be prepared to have a break in period. I wear an 8.5 and the 9 was just right.

These fit great and are very comfortable. However after about four months of use the hard plastic mid sole had a small crack in it. Zappos' customer service is awesome, as they offered a full refund.

This is a really nice thong sandal that took a couple of days to "break in" to the point of blissful comfort. I don't know what to rave about first: the quality materials and construction, the exquisite comfort, or how devastatingly sexy the jet-black sandal looks on the naked foot. And, mind you, I'm not a teenager penning this, but a forty-nine-year-old man. Reef has really outdone itself with this utterly delicious flip-flop.

This is a bit snug andI had to order the next size up. Very comfortable for long walks at downtown Waikiki or at the beach.

These are great slippers (flip flops)! They do run small. So if you wear a size 9 in other Reef shoes you might want to order a size 10. We did and they fit great. We have ordered several other Reef slippers in a size 9 which fit perfectly but this type is just a little smaller. We had to return the first pair we bought because they were small, but Zappos made that experience painless and crazy fast. (Best company out there!) This type is the most comfortable type of slipper Reef makes.

In short, these are better than Reef Fannings and are easily one of the very best flip flops on the market, if not the best. I've owned them over a year and here's what I love about them: 1) The cushioning/suspension system really works and is perfectly adjusted -- the cushioning isn't mushy but it does absorb shock. You can wear these all day in perfect comfort. 2) The arch support is superb. These sandals have a nicely contoured footbed that further ads to the comfort and provides a solid level of arch support. Again, you can wear these things all day in perfect comfort, even if you're middle-aged with less than stellar knees. 3) The strap won't stretch out. My Reef Fannings would stretch out on me and the flip flops would end up getting too floppy on my feet. That never happens with the X-S-1. The plasticy looking inserts in the straps really keep them from stretching out. 4) The footbed itself will mold to your feet over time. Not in the extreme way that a pair of Birkenstocks might, but they do get more comfortable with wear. 5) The non-slip and non-marking outsole is just about ideal, and looks a lot more like a boat shoes siping than a hiking boots lugs. Frankly, I need a flip flop that'll stay secure in a wet environment and these do. I don't need a flip flop that'll pick up rocks in some overly-rugged vibram outsole. 6) The water drainage system is actually pretty cool, when you end up needing it. I don't normally get my flip flops fully submerged in the water, but the drainage system on these things works as advertised. A lot of people will balk at paying this price for a flip flop. And that's just the wrong way to think about it. These things have all the build quality and comfort of a mid-tier running shoe, and no one would balk at paying this much for a sneaker. Get a pair; you'll be glad you did.

This is my third copy of this sandal. It is very casual but I absolutely love the cushion and arch support. The comfort is the best.
