5.0 out of 5 stars Reef Sandals July 7, 2008

By Michael D. Williams

Color Name:Brown| Size Name:13 D(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase

Best sandals i've ever owned in my life. Reef makes top notch sandals, the last pair I had lasted over eight years. I had to buy a new pair because they literally rotted of my feet. They lasted all through the time I was a lifeguard, deployed to the Middel East, and just everyday wear and tear. This new pair feels better, fits great, and just all around meets the expectaions I have of Reef and its products.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable and fun, but watch out May 18, 2006

By Thomas B Goodloe

Color Name:Black/tan|Size Name:7 D(M) US

I bought a pair of these sandals in February 2005 and am still wearing them. Like any sandal, they are fun and easy to wear. Just recently I've noticed that the front part of the soles has worn down and they are smooth now. Also the foam bed has started to crack in several places, but for the price I'd say I've gotten reasonable use out of them.

The bottle opener is a great conversation piece. Also rest assured, they do hold up to wear and tear. I was skeptical when I bought these how long they'd stay intact, but I can attest that they are still in and functional... kinda mangled, but still intact and functioning.

Also, if you think you're just gonna swing your leg up and crack open a beer like Mr. Joe Cool, then think again. I remember when I first got these I was at a backyard house party while in San Diego. I was flirting with these two girls, talkin' my game and trying to be smooth. So I grab another beer, and while talking to them, I lift my foot and try to crack the bottle open. Well, between trying to keep my balance and get the lip of the cap in the opener, I apparently shook it up a bit. When I finally did open it, the resulting explosion of foam shot all over me and the two girls. Not cool.

I would suggest taking the sandal off to use the bottle opener feature.

All and all, a great shoe. Fun and easy to wear.

Another tip: Make sure you wash these every so often! Stick 'em in the washing machine. I neglected to do this and developed a nasty case of athlete's foot from them. Just a heads up. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Reef scored another hit w/ the Leather Fanning flip flops! August 19, 2009

By Mikey J

Color Name:White| Size Name:13 D(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase

As if there is another flip flop could offer the style, comfortable, and mobility of the Mick Fanning sandal. The leather version of a very popular sandal is exactly what any avid wearer would appreciate.

The sandal is sleek and looks good on a well maintained foot. They are true to size so if you wear a 12, order the 12.

Overall, you cannot and will not go wrong with this great sandal. It hugs the foot very well, provides great heel support, and the church-key hidden perfectly in the sole will be a great topic of any party or gathering. Great job with the development of a great flip flop that even the snobbiest would find pleasure to sport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Flip Flops! August 8, 2010

By Austin Nelson

Amazon Verified Purchase

For years I wore those cheap flip flops that I could hardly walk in. I finally decided to buy some better quality ones, and boy I'm glad I did. These flip flops are comfortable, easy to walk in, and just flat out sweet! Watch out though, once you have these you won't want to put on shoes and socks.

I bought the Reef Stuyak Sandal for $20 based on good reviews, and those sandals are not even close to these! I couldn't believe the difference when I compared the two. I got this product for $35, what a bargain! Buy these, you won't be disappointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not as durable as previous reef sandle June 4, 2006

By Nigel Turner

Color Name:Black/tan|Size Name:7 D(M) US

I bought a pair of Freddy P's reef sandals that lasted 3 years before finally breaking. I loved those shoes. At that point I had to get the Fanning's as the Freddy P's are no longer being made.

The Fanning shoe has lasted me about 1 year, keeping in mind I did not wear them in the winter, The strap that goes in between your toes has started to come apart on both shoes. And they have become loose and not as comfortable.

The bottle opener is to be used only if you have to.

You have to take the shoe off to open beer, if you have already had a few beers standing on one leg can become a little tricky.

I guess for $40 they are worth the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars my fannings June 18, 2007

By D. Kyle Irrgang

Color Name:Black-Silver| Size Name:10 D(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase

very comfortable flip-flops. great for all day wearing. these are my second pair. i wore these all day for 6 days in Savannah, Ga. I've worn them to the beach, in the water, in a friends pool. they can take it and still look good.i still wear my first pair around the house or for shooting to the store. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of the can-opener on the bottom. It works ok. Depending on where you have been walking though, i wouldn't want that stuff near my beer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely comfortable, as advertised June 28, 2011

By Aaron Davidson

Color Name:Brown/Brown| Size Name:11 D(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase

I walked twelve miles in my Reefs today. I walked seven miles yesterday in them, and ten the day before. My feet have thick tan lines where the straps are, and not a single blister. My other pair of flip-flops destroys my feet, dying my soles black and cracking my skin. These don't; they're comfortable, even for walking long distances.

The only problem is that they can get very, very smelly, even though my feet are traditionally non-odorous. I wonder what it is about them that makes them seem to retain odor.

Still, a wonderful buy and well worth it.
