The only reason I gave this shoe a poor rating was it has been extremely difficult to break in. Specifically the area between the toes is very stiff. I have been wearing them with socks to help break it in. for the price I would not order this one again.

These looked just lovely but I had to return them. They felt pretty true to size but far more narrow and a bit longer then any other flip-flops that I tried in the same size. Now if you have narrow long little feet they would probably be ideal. I however have high arches and a high instep and these though they look beautiful and seem made well were just not right for me.

I wanted a pair of leather flip flops and these look nice. They are a little rough on the inside of the thong part and left marks on my foot. They aren't as comfortable as my Clarks. Overall I do like them.

I really like the look of these flip flops, but I'm disappointed in the comfort of them. I like the brown leather of the flip flop and the casual look of it as it goes with everything, but the leather sole has gotten so smooth that I have a hard time keeping them on my feet. Also, during the 1st two weeks of wearing them I felt there was arch support, but after 2 months that support has disappeared. I'm going to try a pair of the Olukai's next.

I chose these because of the leather foot bed and ergonomic design. I wear a 9.5 -10 in a dress shoe and am generally successful with a 9 in an open she like this. The length was perfect but the straps were too loose. I could slide four fingers underneath them. Not good for a leather strap that could be expected to give with wear. Really wish they had worked. Nice golden brown color.

Ordered my regular size 8, it was too big in the straps and too long in length. I have a narrow foot and I can always wear an 8 in other sandals. If I were exchanging, a size 7 would fit just right. I'm returning because the shoe looks more casual in person than I thought it would. The finish on the leather is dull white, the medallion is a dull bronze, and the leather already looks aged. I was looking for something a little more glossy and shiny. I'm sure it would be a comfortable shoe if I were looking for something very casual.

I really liked the look of the sandal-I wanted something casual and beachy but in leather. I ordered a size 9, length-wise they were fine. However, the straps were loose on my foot and the footbed seemed wider than my other Reef flip flops which are also size 9. Also I found that they lacked enough arch support for me and had that "flip-flop" slapping noise going on when I walked around in them. I'll be returning these.

Insole too slick after day 4 of wearing them, also they stretched out that quick as well, very disappointed as they looked and felt great the first few days.

Got these to replace the pair I bought several years ago. Sad to see a huge decline in quality - sloppy stitching, poor construction. One of the logo studs has already pulled away from the surrounding leather. I won't buy Reef sandals again.

After wearing these Reefs a couple of days they became much too wide. Now it's almost impossible to walk on them.

I'm not sold on these. I do still wear them, but am not very happy with how they look and feel. While they're comfortable, the leather insole makes them both squeaky and slippery to walk on--it's actually easier to walk in them after getting them a bit wet first. Plus they are big. I normally wear a size 7 in flip flops but these size 7s seem too long and the straps too big. For a flip flop this expensive I was expecting a lot more.

The worst pair of Reefs I have ever bought. No give in the leather straps, they are very scratchy on my feet. The toe thong is hard. So uncomfortable. I would send them back but I have worn them trying to break them in. So expensive. Not worth the money.

These are not comfortable. The edges of the straps are hard and sharp and cut my feet. I was expecting to step into comfort, not pain.

The contrast between the white top and brown bottom is not great. The comfort was not fantastic so I returned them.

I had a pair of the J-Bay's that I bought in 2012 also from Zappo's. Unfortunately, my puppy chewed through them so I bought these to replace them. These are NOT the same J-Bay's that they used to sell. The strap is a lot tighter than my old pair (even compared to when they were new) and the leather is much more stiff. If you're feet are firmly narrow to medium you'll probably be fine after they break in but if like me you're a wide foot who can wear certain brands of flip flops without problems (thank you Reef), these will not work for you. Back these go and I'll be paying the different to replace them with an Olu Kai flip flop.

This show is so uncomfortable. It slides around on your foot as you walk and the strap between your toes rubs terribly. I would not recommend these shoes. Unfortunately, I wore these on a trip to Las Vegas. If I could return them I would.
