Customer Reviews Reef Sandy

My entire adult life I have sworn by these flip flops. I have told everyone I know to buy them. Now the sizing is off and the 11s are too small. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix the sizing or add a size 12. My summer will be ruined without these!!

I have purchased several pairs of these over the years. They are not made the same anymore. I ordered my size and they were too short in length. So, I ordered a larger size and the straps were extremely too big. Guess I have to find a replacement flip flop.

No i would not, as the sandy reef, old model was so fantastic, had for long time used. Suddenly they changed the materials underneath the shoe, make the flip flop so hard, i cant even bend my front foot :-( I used to buy these, because they were so soft, as i walk on my foot bones, which is painfully, dont understand why REEF changed a bestseller shoe, to the WORSE!! :-(

I have had this shoe for years and worn out multiple pairs. I went to buy a new one and was so bummed they only come in black now! I will have to find another favorite summer shoe, I am so disappointed!

Unfortunately these Sandals were not up to my expectations. The length seemed fine but the straps were loose, which made them uncomfortable not to mention dangerous to wear. I am hoping that this was just a fluke but I suspect that may not be the case reading some recent reviews.

I have been buying this flip flop for years. I have problems with my feet and it's the only one I can wear. I needed to replace my current pair and I'm so disappointed. Not the same material, not as durable, bottom has no grip and just causes you to slide around, the color rubs off on the bottom of your feet and the floor, and they're too small! I have been buying a 7 in this shoe for several years, now my heel hangs over the back of these. Most of all I'm disappointed in the quality, they are that cheap lightweight material, not the same as what they used to be made of. Also sucks because I recommended these to a friend, who purchased them after trying my previous pair on. She has the same problems with them...I was confused because she tried mine on and then the ones she ordered were small on her feet, causing black stains, etc..well now I ordered a pair and understand why-Reef changed the shoes all together. THESE SHOULD BE MARKETED AS A NEW STYLE AND THIS STYLE NAME DISCONTINUED!

I had to order up sizes and do returns 3 different times while trying to replace my Reef Sandy pairs. The sizing isn't correct anymore. These run small. When you get the sandal that is the correct length, the straps don't fit properly. What kind of feet were these made for??? To be honest, I gave them a chance by wearing them in home. Within 20 minutes, the bottoms of my feet were dyed black from the foam cushioning. This has NEVER happened with my past Reefs, and I've owned many, many pairs. Also, the bottoms of the sandals no longer have gripping tread. On wet or dry surfaces, one would slip easily. I slipped on dry tile. These shoes were a hazard to my health. I have owned many Reefs over the years and was finally getting around to replacing my more worn out ones. I am hugely disappointed in the changes. Hugely. Also, I'm out of a lot of money in shipping. So I'm kind of angry over all this. I feel bad that I've recommended Reefs the past few years to friends. I have no idea when the quality changed. I guess I'll have to go with Rainbows or Cobians now. Bye, Reef!

Would love to see these in colors you had in past years yellow, blue, orange, green and etc. these are still my number one sandal i have about 25 pairs but definitely need and update in some of the colors. These are the only flip flops i wear and i love them but they are ehhh colors.

I have bought a new pair of black Sandy flip flops every year for over 10 years. They are the most comfortable pair of shoes I own and I can walk FOREVER in them. Well, the new pair I bought a few months ago are HORRIBLE. The sole is completely different and very slippery. And there's something different in the stalls becUse they dig in and actually gave me a blister!!!!! That has NEVER happened. Thank god I also packed my old pair to a Disney trip because I barely got through the first day of my trip wearing the new design. I went back to my pair from last year and they were perfect. Please go back to the original design and some!!!!!!!!

I have been buying the reef sandy for years, and unfortunately the quality has changed for the worse. The soles now have no traction whatsoever so watch our walking around anywhere that may be somewhat slippery because you will fall. The shoes also run much smaller now than they did before. I have always worn a size 7 and now my heel hangs over the end. Quality overall is not as good. Very disappointed that after 10+ years I will have to find a different sandal.

No visible arch support in these reefs. Sent them back.

I've had a my current pair of Sandy's for at least 5 years. They are a size 8. Ordered the same size and the new Sandy's I received are very different. They are way too small, and so narrow that my pinky toe hangs off the side. My entire foot fits on my old ones with no problem. Sent them back and ordered the Gingers in a size 9. I have a pair of those that I've had for just as long as my Sandy's. Same problem. Fit is so much smaller and my toes hang off the sides. Have never had hat problem before. Why change such a great style??? So disappointing... Reefs have always been my go to flip flop for over 20 years.

I wear size 10 in every shoe & even the 11 is too small. Disappointed

I like the color, I've purchased these twice and have had to send them back both times. Once because the straps were very loose, and the second time they were too small. I the straps are always to loose, unstable and uncomfortable. I don't like the price keeps going up on and becoming unaffordable for a pair of flip-flops

Although the quality of the Sandy seems the same, the sizing has changed. Have been buying 8s for years. Now they are so short. Tried the 9s, so wide and long the fit my grown son. Tried anoth 8, just to see if the first pair was unmarked. Again, too short. I guess I have to be done with Reef.

I usually wear these flip-flops during the summer. I've had to send them back before because the straps are always to loose, unstable and uncomfortable. The price keeps going up on these, and becoming un affordable for a pair of flip-flops

This is not the same Sandy that I've bought in the past. These have a very hard footbed. The last pair of Sandy's I bought about 10 years ago, put them on & immediately walked around Disney World for a week- without the first problem. No blisters, no needed time to break them in, they were AMAZING! These I just received today, are terrible! They aren't the same! I wish I'd have listened to the others before I bought them!

WAY too small. I suggest ordering a size up. Had to return

The sizing is off. I have bought this style in years past and haven't had issues with sizing. I bought a size 10 this time and it did not fit at all. I compared it to my old pair and the new pair was smaller. Unhappy that the sizes seemed to change

I've been buying Sandy's for years and loved them. This was not up to the previous quality of a Sandy. I don't know why you would change the Sandal. It's more narrow and flatter. I hate it, so uncomfortable. Very dissatisfied!

I've been wearing Sandy flip-flops for as long as I can remember. Sadly the reviews are true - this sandal is nothing like the old favorite. The material is stiff, the sizing is off, and the sole has zero traction. Reef may be saving money by making some cuts, but they've also cut this customer out of buying these again :(

Not true to size

I have loved these shoes and have been buying a new pair every year. The sizing is now off and my size is now too small. I can no longer buy the them because I wear an 11 and now they are made too small for me.
