I bought these sandals for my husband to replace a similar pair of Tommy Hilfiger sandals he had stolen from a beach vacation. I chose these because they have the leather straps and figured they would last much longer than fabric ones. He normally wears a size 12, which I ordered, but had to exchange them for a 13 because they were too small. They seem to be well made and he says they are very comfortable. He's only gotten to wear them a few times so far so I can't say too much yet.

Great shoe. I got them for my brother and he wears them all the time!

The length, width and arch support were fine but the straps were way too tight. I could not easily get my feet into the sandals and had to force my foot into them.

Product quality is very good. The size seems to run a little small though in my opinion.

We bought his first pair of Reef's at a store. They seemed to fit perfect. Shopping for a guy in a size 15 is a pain!! Online ordering was easy and fast. The size is a little off... a little too small. But too much work to send back and he really needed them.

After a bad experience with my last two pairs off Reefs (different models), I was slightly hesitant to try another model, but I can say without hesitation the Phantoms are a great sandal. On the plus side, they fit well (quick sprints to catch a bus are no issue), the stitching and overall finish leave nothing to be desired, and they are comfy. On the downside, they might be a bit too plush for my liking, the sole is wider than I expected, and the soles have developed a strange smell that reminds me of my Teva days; downside of rubber I suppose.

I bought these and felt darn good about them. I didn't put a lot of walking on them....I was just out and they foot straps ripped out of the base....when I looked at the opening, and the inward fold they tucked into...they ripped off the base. A good pair of these should last a few yrs...not 8 mos, and really I was in Europe for 3 mos...so probably less than 5 mos.

Not sure...not too happy right now.

Most Reef flips fit me in 13. These did not. Returned for 14.

Looks fantastic, but the fit is really, really tight width-wise across the top. This shoe is not made for men who have a slightly wider foot. That's the only reason for the 3 stars.

pretty much on the small size. Also not so happy with the sole of these, they don't seem to be robust as the normal reefs I buy.

The straps are very tight. Could not fit my foot inside even though I do not have a wide foot.

The Scandal was 2 sizes smaller, though I always wear 13 US across all brands.

Originally ordered a size 10 wearing a 10 size shoe, returned and ordered an 11 and the product still runs small.

Great looking sandal but way too small. Husband always wears a 13 in sandals and he couldn't even get his foot in. Have to return.

I've lived in reef fanning sandals for years. I tried these as a less expensive alternative. The strap is smaller (doesn't fit as nicely) and the webbing in there underside irritates my foot. I am keeping, but would never buy again.

The strap opening was so small that I couldn't get my foot in, not even halfway. My size is normally 10.5, so when I saw reviews indicating that these run small, I ordered an 11 (12 not available). The opening was so narrow that I'm not sure a 13 would've fit. I returned them with no problem.

Reef: Cushion Phantom LE, Reef Fanning (though the sole peeled up around the opener)

I was replacing Teva's and thought (from pic & description) that the Phantoms had a similar level of heel and arch supportt. Wrong. These are just like beach flip-flops with a flimsy flat sole, not sturdy enough to wear as summertime shoes. The strap is decent looking, but I'll never wear them. They are already in the Goodwill bag.
