I love these sandals! They are the most comfortable sandles I own. My current pair is starting to wear out and I came to repurchase and the brown ones are gone! What happened? Only black and really loud colors?

I have two other pairs of Reef flip flops. I use them on my boat and to do my errands and shopping on weekends. The soles are the best I have found for being non-skid. However, the soles that came on this newer pair of flips did not match the picture or that of my previous two pairs. I was disappointed to see the change. These were smoother with less ridging and felt more slippery. The upper part was as well made and supple as before. I wear a ladies 9 1/2 and bought the 10 and it fit perfectly. Please go back to your original 'tire-tread-like' soles. If I weren't around water all the time I would have kept them. I can't risk a fall. Sorry, but I returned them.

Need to return because they are too small. I already have the EXACT pair and they are both a size 8, but are completely different lengths. I am a 7.5-8 and I went with the 8 and they are still too small. I've never wore bigger than an 8 in any brand, including Reef, so their sizes have changed.

THe flip flops are very comfortble. The only bad thing about them is that they turn the bottom of my feet black. This happened right out of the box. I have never had this happen with Reef shoes before.

I bought my first pair of Reef sandals the other day. They are the black Sandy. The only problem with these sandals is the black dye will transfer to the bottom of your feet. I've had other sandals do that before but was really hoping not these since they costed a little more than your traditional sandals. They are comfortable but wished the dye wouldn't transfer. I won't buy black anymore.

Size 9 is a quarter of an inch smaller than the 2015 size 8. Colors better in person, at least the pink black blue. Was: light pink, dark pink and periwinkle. Glad the material between the toes is black now, since material isn't as cleanable as it used to be. Wish that arch support was higher,. Felt like the outside was higher than arch, which can make you collapse inward if you're not careful . Still overall better then what's out there.

Super comfortable, but the strap came out while I was driving after 4 months of use. We have owned reef sandals for years, and this seems to be unusual for our experience. But I'm disappointed for sure.

I've been wearing Reef flip flops for at least 10 years. This is my first time ordering on line and I haven't bought a new pair in 4 years. I ordered the same size and style I've been wearing and they are way too small. I'm not sure if I will return them or keep them in hopes they'll fit my daughter this coming season. I think I'll stick to buying in a store to make sure they fit properly.

I wear a size 7.5 medium shoe. I ordered a size 8 in the color calypso. The width was fine, but the length was a tad too short. My heel came right to the edge. I prefer for there to be a tiny bit of empty space all the way around my foot. The strap and toe post were soft and comfortable. It seems as though this style would last a long time since the footbed and sole are thicker than some of the other styles. A bunch of brown flakes had come off the footbed and/or sole and were inside the clear plastic bag. I don't think the flakes were particles of dirt. I returned these and chose not to reorder a size 9 because I am pretty sure it would be too large.

Sizing is still off. I wear a 7 1/2 consistently except Reef flip flops - size 9. I also wear Reef Escape Sling in an 8 with plenty of room. Reviews about sizing were mixed so I assumed the flip flop sizing was fixed. It's not.

Bought two pairs, same size but different colors. The brown/coral pair fits great, straps feel great on my feet. The straps on the black ones, however, are very loose and make them uncomfortable to wear. Not sure if they were tried on before by a person with larger feet who stretched them out or what, but my feet started to hurt after wearing them to the grocery store bc they kept slipping off. Cannot return them now bc I wore them. Not sure why same size in different colors could fit so differently.

Been buying these for years, they where the best flip lops out there, not no more. They run small and narrow. New bottom doesn't seem like it will have as much traction on wet surfaces like the old ones. Reef why change something that wasn't broken?

Super comfortable sandals. Wore them almost everyday for a year then the bottom sole of the shoe started separating from the rest of the sandal. Had to stop wearing them because I started tripping on the disconnecting sole. Was so sad. Great while they lasted, wish they lasted longer.

I buy these flip flops every year. They’re a staple in my summer wardrobe. However, this year, when I tried them on, they felt small. So I ordered a size up which fit better. I put the new one up against an old pair and they are in fact a full size smaller then in last years so order a size up! I hope reef fixes this next year.

I’m normally an 8-8.5 but the 8 was too short and my heel was almost hanging off the back. The 9 was perfect length but for some reason the strap seems too loose. But not enough to return them. Otherwise comfy.

I usually buy a new pair of Reef Sandy's every year with no issue. The pair I received this year, seem a bit smaller than usual.
I'd also recommend:
Vionic, Teva, Aetrex, Keen

I have another pair of the Sandy that I have had for years. I ordered the same size and the ones that arrived are not even close to being the same. I called customer service and was told oh yea you are not the first person that has said that. We changed manufacturers. She said I should order a size up and another of the same size and return the ones I have. Thats not going to happen. I will send them back and go find a store that has them to try to find a pair that fits right. I do love my other Sandy's they are the only flip flops I can wear.

Sadly I had to return these. While the fit and comfort were excellent, the foot bed immediately turned the soles of my feet black. I've had flip flops do this before and it never stops. Whatever this particular pair is made of is bad. Otherwise I usually love reef flip flops

I like these sandals although not near as well as a pair I bought a couple summers ago. Was hoping to find another that looks a little better. Mine are looking pretty worn but still wear them/

Great design...very pretty and vibrant. Unfortunately, I should have listened to several reviews that said they were a size too short!!! And indeed they were! I love Reefs...they've worked better and fit better than any other flip flop I've had (and I've had many!!). I wear a size 11..so I cannot go up a size....so disappointing.

Too small! Being returned at the moment. Almost a whole size too small. I'm sad that I wear a size 11 and don't have the option to go up a size because I love the colors and very comfortable.

These flips are really cute, but my feet are on the wider side and the straps were way too tight.
