Customer Reviews Reef Draftsmen

The style is perfect (5 star +), but the sandals are just so uncomfortable. I bought these Reef sandals in brown and a cheap pair of black Old Navy flip flops for a Caribbean vacation. I wore the Reef sandals in the airport and then never again. I have normal width feet (never bought a wide in any shoe), but these sandals are really narrow—more like women’s sandals. The straps ripped my feet to shreds; my feet were bloody from a 1-connection trip. Bottom line—the Reef sandals are overpriced by about $40-$50; they’re really $20-$30 sandals.

The arch support / bottle opener is too hard and subsequently uncomfortable.

These are pretty nice flip flops. The upsides are that the sole feels really very comfortable on the bottoms of my feet. The downsides are that the soles have a little too much flex in them, and the straps aren't really angled correctly, so when I walk these really do create the "flip flop" motion, snapping up to my heel with each step. I'd say these are good flip flops for situations with a little walking and a lot of lounging.

This runs a full size smaller than the Reef Fanning sandals. Looks nice, but for the price Rainbow brand sandals are much higher quality.

I purchased these without realizing they had a beer opener in the sole under the arch. I suppose this would be a useful feature if I was a drunken frat boy at Arizona State, but I'm not. The beer opener makes them feel like something has stuck to the bottom under the instep and they are quite uncomfortable to walk in.

Full marks for style, but my biggest pet peeve with leather flips applies to these too. The sole gets really slippery after a while, to the point that I can't walk confidently on them (and I wear sandals all the time). I had intended these to be my "dressier" flip flops, but if I go out in these I know I'm going to be spending a good deal of time walking barefoot, throwing them on only when needed...in fact these have become my go-to "hotfoot shoes" that I sometimes grab on my way out the door on those " board shorts and bare feet" days, depending how long I plan to be out. Since they spend so little time on my feet they should last almost forever as Reefs are great sandals. As they get older I'm finding they are getting less slippery as the leather gets scuffed up.

Thin not much support or cushion arch didn’t seem to be placed correctly.
