Customer Reviews Reef Sandy

I have 2 pairs of the older classic version and love them. But the new version is smaller and stiffer. The comfortable cushy sole is gone! My suggestion... get rid of the new manager making the "improvements" to most likely better the bottom line... as you will sell more sandals!

Autocorrect messed up my 1st review. Bottom line: Straps cause blisters New Sole is super slippery They feel stiff Old classic design was literally the most comfortable shoe ever made. Bring it back.

I was really disappointed when my Sandy flip flops arrived. I currently have a pair and they are the only flip flops I can wear due to a back and knee injury. They were getting old so I ordered a new pair. When they arrived I was excited. Then I went to try them on and they did not fit. They were the exact same size as the ones I own. How could this be? I measured them and they were different, the new ones were much smaller. I called customer service and was told that they are not made by a different manufacturer. I asked should I return and get another pair and was told it will probably happen again. I then returned them and went to a local store that carry's tons of different Reefs. I tried about 10 pair of size 10 Sandy's on and they were all to small. I wear a size 9 9.5 shoe. They are just cut all wrong and are now to small. These do not fit like a size 10. They don't make them any bigger so I am left with my old flip flops. I tried the mens on and they did not fit right as well, plus they don't have the color I wanted. I do love my original pair but the need to make the size 10 fit like a 10.

They are much smaller than my previous reefs, my foot is right at edge of back. The strap is much thicker than previous pairs and having a small foot makes it look foolish. Will not be buying reefs again because of the fit and style.

I have worn Reef Sandy for years and the pair I just bought, same size as my 4 other pairs, is HUGE, not the length, but the straps could fit an elephant foot. No way you can walk in these. What happened????? VERY DISAPPOINTED. Also what is with all the brown, gray and tan colors in most of the flip flops. They are flip flops not work shoes, they should be fun!

Not true to size. Runs very small.

The reviews were right! I have been wearing these flip flops for 20 years and now they don't fit...so sad. The straps are way too lose on the size 6, I even tried a smaller size. The size 5 straps fit my foot but my heel is hanging off.

I have been a loyal Reef Sandy customer for 5 plus years, buying 3-5 pairs a year. This year I bought 2 pair and they both have the same sole. This sole collects dust, hair, sand, etc and makes them extremely slick on most surfaces. I've slipped several times on wood, tile, dirt, etc and slipped on steps in my home falling down the steps both times. I refuse to wear them again. PLEASE change the sole back!

Too slippery!! Bottoms are different. Dangerously slippery. I slipped down deck stairs. Several small slips and slides. I have been buying these for 20 years. Will not buy again. I will be returning these Too bad cause I love my old ones. Hope these will go back to old bottom style

The Reef Sandy has been my go-to flip flop for about 15 years. I always felt confident hopping from rock to rock across slippery ocean shores in these trusty sandals, as the bottoms and footbed had great grip. I've walked for hours at a time comfortably in deserts, on concrete sidewalks, and trails without getting rub from the fabric in-between the toes as it was soft and the shoes were perfectly sized. A thick, durable, quality flip-flop that I highly recommended to everyone and considered a must-have. Sadly, the new Sandy is NOT the same. Inferior quality with slippery bottom, improperly sized length, and odd less-durable footbed material. I no longer have confidence in this shoe, and there is now nothing to set it apart from the competitors. Yet another case of a company that doesn't leave a good product alone. Goodbye, Reef! I was loyal until the change, but I am off to find a new company/ flip-flop that is like the old Sandy.

The left one is perfect! The right one makes my foot feel like it is sliding off the shoe to the inside. : (. Never had a problem with Reefs before.

Great colors , but not a true size 8 . It's really small.

Just bought a new pair for my wife, she gets this style every year. She always wears a 9 or 9.5, so I ordered a 10, for a little wiggle room. Her toes hang off and she"ll need at least an 11. Something has changed.

Like many of the reviews, I have worn the same Sandy flip flips for a decade and went ahead an bought a new pair only to be highly disappointed when they arrived. They are so different now. Stiff, short and just seem cheaply made now. It's a shame that Reef has decided to do skip out on quality when that's why most of us have been repeat customers for years!! I will be looking for an alternative amazing pair of flip flops this year and I can only hope that you guys bring back the original!!

I recently ordered the Reef Sandy for my daughter who has been wearing that style for many years and has gone through many pairs. I had to return the latest pair. They were too narrow and the sole is stiffer and not the same as before. Please bring back the orginal Sandy style and fit.

These were too small. My previous pair is a size 8 but looked to be at least 1/2 size bigger than the new pair. I had to return them.

product ran small and did not fit

I wear a size 10. I didn't read any reviews beforehand and just assumed they were true to size. Definitely ran small. My mother wears an 8.5 and they fit her! I ended up letting her have them. Do they normally run small?

I return these flip flops. I was hoping that the arch would have been as great as men's reef
