Such a heavy design. Strap is too large and makes them dangle from my feet

Look great, they have a bottle opener on the bottom, reasonably priced. But did cause major blister on one foot! I bought these to go on vacation and I couldn't wear them for more than 2 hours because of the blistering. Luckily I brought a backup pair. If I could return them I would!

Nice looking but the friction from the nylon fabric between my toes caused bleeding and horrible pain. Maybe I need to build a callous?

I did not care for the quality for a leather flip flop. I guess my expectation was off? I returned them and it was easy with the pre printed label.

These would be fine except for that silly bottle opener in the sole. It feels like a rock is stuck on the bottom of the sandal. This was not a good design move.

Worn during one summer in Midwest USA. Owned them almost one year. Comfortable and stylish. TQT is a nice touch. However strap on one sandal broke - too easily and too soon. I was walking on a flat surface and it just came off on one side.

When I ordered I asked if the sizes were true-to-size. I was informed that they were.i wear a 10 1/2 or 11 and was told to order the 11 since there were no half sizes available. I received the sandals and noticed that when I put them on they barely fit. The whole foot was covered but there was no overlap of sandal at the foot or heel. I decided to wear them thinking that they would eventually give a little allowing more room for my feet. That never happened. Your order takers should be informed that these sandals run small. I worry that if I go up a size they will then be too big.

It's frustrating to order on-line and then have to return them because the sizing is small. My husband is a size 11 in every shoe in his closet, but the reefs were too small.

These ended up not being very comfortable. I hadn't worn sandles in a while so I started by just wearing these around the house and they felt ok. As soon as I started venturing out of the house it became clear they fit very loosely and are uncomfortable. The looseness allows them to move around a lot which causes blisters and also causes them to kick up a lot of junk from the street. Note that I am wearing a sandle one full shoe size smaller than I normally do.

Super unethical company that makes super cheap flip flops that will only last a few months. They have a G rating with the bbb.

If I could give this a zero I would. The shoes had clear signs of already being worn. Will be returning.

The bottle opener comes through the sole of the flip flop. You can feel it digging into your foot when walking

I'm surprised these get such high reviews. I bought a pair of these Reefs, thinking a splurge on a leather sandal might be just the stylish look I needed! The look is pretty solid, but the leather texture is like rubber and created blisters on TOP of my foot. I tried breaking in (wore them aver a dozen times), but couldn't walk in them for more than 10 mins without a painful red mark developing on my foot. I finally had to give up and go with another brand. It's a bummer since I really wanted to like these.

Let me see how to properly say this..... the bottle opener on the sole is the DUMBEST idea I have seen for a product in my entire life! 1st off, any true beer drinker can get the top off his bottle of beer, trust me on that! Even if he was stranded naked in the Aleutian Islands, he would figure it out! Secondly, what a liability issue for a company who made the product! I hope Reef has a good team of lawyers on staff when the customer walking in this shoe with the "built-in metal hook" on the sole grabs something on the ground and he goes down face-first! (For example: a boat gunnel, a metal grate, a nail sticking up a 1/2" on a wooden boardwalk, etc., a funny-shaped rock, etc., etc., etc!) Dumbest idea ever! Now I know why it was the only model Reef sold in size 15! Experiment on the smallest segment of the shoe-buying public!

Sandals arrived and they were perfect for the first week. After the first week the front part of the right sandal is already starting to come apart. I have maybe worn these five times before breaking.

I just received my 3rd pair of REEF Draftsman sandals. I wore the previous 2 out as they were my absolute favorite sandals. I wouldn't consider buying another pair other than Draftsman, until now. They used to be made in Brazil, as it was clearly transcribed on the top of the sandal, they now come with the Made in China sticker on the bottom. The design has made them wider and the strap MUCH larger. To the point where the sandals will not stay on my feet. I'm wholly disappointed in REEF for doing this and will now have to find another brand for the foreseeable future. Shame on you, REEF.

The old design was perfect. They were a bit tight in the beginning, but broke in very quickly. I have owned several pairs over the last 4 years. Now they have changed the design to make them wider with looser straps. Such a big difference that I actually thought they sent me the wrong product when I tried them on. Good if you have very wide feet but wish they stuck with the old design.

Sandal broke after 3 days of use. I ordered them NDA because I needed them for a cruise I was going on. While trying to enjoy myself on the cruise these sandals broke leaving me with no sandals the rest of the trip.

I love how these look and feel. My wife surprised me with these and love them except they don't last long. The bottom sole of both of them are already coming off after 4 months of use. I use them for the beach and casual wear and they are already falling apart. Would buy again if they fixed that problem with them

thin and cheaply made. not at all what I expected for $60, and far below the quality of other pairs I've purchased from Reef. I saw these in a store but they didn't have my husband's size. So shocked at the difference in quality for the same SKU.
