I've worn Reef flip flops for years but haven't bought a new pair in a long time. These are so inferior to the older Reef flip flops. They feel cheap and poorly made.

I am usually a 7.5. I ordered an 8 and it was way too small. I would recommend going up a full size, then rounding up if a half size.

it was just soft foam, what looked like an arch in the picture flattened out when my foot was on the sandal.

SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE CHANGES. I have been getting these for years now they are much more narrow and the straps are so tight. I’m so sad and will be returning.

This newer style is uncomfortable and slippery. And the black color turns feet black still. Used to buy multiple colors yearly for myself and family, won't buy anymore.

I felt like it was the wrong size altogether. I contacted customer service and they’re sending me a new pair. He said I was sent the wrong pair initially

These are definitely NOT what I remember. I haven’t bought new Reefs in several years and I’m so disappointed by what I received. One strap is tighter than the other (like missed QC) and both straps are too tight. I have small feet normally wear 5.5 narrow (sometimes a 6). I bought a 6 to be on the save side. They are WAY too small. The straps are so uncomfortably tight and the actual shoe itself is too short. Like, the shoe length is smaller than my 5.5’s and are more like a 5. Plus, the foot bed was not as soft as I remember them being. Anyway, super bummed and will be returning and looking for a better quality flip flop.

There was something defective with this pair I think. The right sandal has straps that are significantly smaller (uncomfortable to even put on) than the left sandal.

I had Reef Ginger flip flops in the past and loved them! I wore them for years and they were light and comfortable. These were nothing like my old pair. Too narrow and cheaply made. I ordered them a size up and they still felt small. Returned them immediately. I ordered Havaianas instead and they are perfect.

These have been my favorite shoes the past decade but my most recent paid arrived an I am sad to say they are not the same. They are clunky and flat and the foam appears lower quality in cushion and mold. Please bring back the original style and materials!

I have had many pairs of Reefs over the years. They are my go to brand. These are the most uncomfortable pair of flip-flops I've ever owned. I was very disappointed, I will stick to the thicker straps.

Love Reef flip flops but very disappointed in this pair as the Y-shaped strap ripped out of the sole. Never have had this happen in the years I have been wearing Reef flip flops and apparently out of warranty. From the picture you can tell it is a clean separation from the sole which speaks to manufacture defect. I hope Zappos or Reef will consider sending a new pair.

I like the style but the size is so small that I thought I ordered kids’ flip flops. I usually wear an 8 and think I need to go up two sizes!

I have been buying Reefs for years b/c of the support and safety you felt with a little curve of the insole and the good tread on the insole (so your feet wouldn't slip in humid weather, which, in the summer, it is.) I ordered 3 different styles and am returning all of them. Time to look for another brand. The slipperiness of them now just feels cheap.

These were my favorite sandals for over 20 years. I needed a new pair and purchased these in the navy and the black. What a disappointment. These used to be slim, light, comfortable, supportive on the arch my feet wouldn't slip in them. Now they are chunky, super awkward fitting, uncomfortable and stiff. What was the point? I have tried other reef styles, but they are either missing the arch support or have footbed material that will cause slipping when wet. Again--what a disappointment.

I'm so disappointed! I have buying the Reef Ginger sandals for years! They were the only sandal that felt comfortable even between the toes. They are super stiff and the toe guard placement is off so that more normal size is now too small. There was no breaking them in as they were wonderful right out of the box. I decided to give them a chance by trying to break them in but at the end of the day my arch had a cramp and it was painful to walk for a couple of days. I even put water on them to see if they would soften up. No luck. Reef should have left a good thing alone.

I have been buying Reef Ginger sandals for so many years but this recent purchase was a major disappointment. They were too small due to the placement of the toe strap. They were so stiff. Previously I could wear them and they would be comfortable right out of the box. These were the only sandals that I could wear that didn't hurt my feet. After forcing myself to wear these to try and "break them in" I got a cramp in my arch and have had trouble walking. Why couldn't you leave a good thing alone? Change isn't always good!

I've worn gingers forever. I've always had two or three pairs at once. But I'm truly sadden that they decided to change the sole. It's very slippery, there's zero grip to them. Wish they would just bring back the old ones

I've always loved these sandals. I ordered a new pair after my dog chewed on the strap of my older pair. When the new pair arrived, even though it is the same size as my previous pair, it is a least a 1/2 inch smaller. So disappointed.
