This is my third pair exactly like this one. They do hold up very well and are very sturdy. Reefs won't fall apart, but I am hard on my flip flops and they get to looking pretty ragged after a while. I'll keep replacing them as long as Reef makes them!
I normally wear a 6 1/2 or a 7 in shoes. I buy a 6 1/2 in this sandal.

Love these! Fit is very true to size. They are super comfortable- nice arch.

I have enjoyed my new reef sandals. I heard about them from my sister-in-law. I found some cheaper on Amazon, and decided to buy them. I will be buying a black pair in the future!

Great sandals! Very comfortable, soft material. Only problem I had was on an all-day walk around Disney- the straps were a little snug to the top of the foot. Other than that, I love them!

Purchased these flippers after I wore holes in my other ones. They were so comfortable I didn't want to buy new ones only to be disappointed. But these shoes did anything but disappoint.
They have a thick sole on them so you can walk on rocks or gravel and not feel a thing. The straps on the feet are made of two materials; the top is really soft and feels a little like micro-suede even though its not and the bottom is just braided/woven polyester type material. It's stitched together and makes a very comfortable wear.

My only two complaints:
1) The bottom seems a little slippery on some surfaces, mainly rocks.
2) I got some blisters my first hike in these.
These both became apparent on a 4 mile hike through the Greenbelt in Austin. I slid a little on the rocks and got a blister on the inside of my left foot from the strap.

These issues are not something that I wouldn't expect anyway from new flippers so I'm still in love with these.
Also, when it came time to clean (they're tan so dirt does show on them in the form of dirty foot prints) I just used a pumice stone gently on the entire shoe. Didn't take the design off the bottom, but gently is the key word there.
Enjoy!

Love, love, love these shoes.

They are very comfortable and very light. I have them in brown and wear them all the time--when weather permits. Highly recommended!

I absolutely adore the "Seaside Sandals" by Reef! I've been wearing this style since I bought a pair 4 years ago at a beach surf shop. Now, I just order them so I can get a good price and get a color I like in this style. The footbed supports my foot and the sole is firm, and yet flexible.

I have a lot of trouble with shoes in general since my foot is short but wide, but these shoes are always comfortable from the 1st day I wear them to the last. My ideal shoe is usually a 6 1/2 wide. These come in whole sizes and are medium width, so I go up to the 7M, which seems to work perfectly.

I have never gotten a blister from wearing these, which is very rare for me! ;-) I have been able to wear these for some moderate walking with no problem, although as with most sandals or flipflops, these aren't intended to be *walking shoes*, so I'd try to temper that.

I purchased these this time in Taupe/Blue floral and they are adorable! the strap is brown on top, with the blue/aqua underneath and on the detailing. The sole is taupe, with a swirly design in the matching brown and blue on the footbed. It disappoints me that over time that design wears away. Otherwise, these sandals really hold up well. I find that they don't "wear out" so much as get too grungy. ;-) I have washed my previous pairs safely and successfully in the washer! I spray them w/ a stain spray like Oxy(especially under the strap) and dump a little detergent in, then just toss them in on a short cycle. They come out looking noticeably better, and the colors stand out more. I usually let mine air dry, although I have thrown them in the dryer, too. However, there always comes a point when they just look too grungy even after washing to be salvaged. Bear in mind, a pair of these usually lasts me 2 or 3 full summers, and I always have a couple of pairs lying around!

So, yes.. I really love these sandals and would highly recommend them to anyone. :-) I wear them w/ shorts, and I also wear them w/ summer dresses.

I purchased the brown & pink flip flops and I hate to say it, but I'm really disappointed in them. I have a pair of Slaps that I absolutely LOVE and wore daily until my best friend's dog got ahold of them. I got these mostly based on the feedback and the cute pink straps. Well...the pink straps are already dirty and they don't come clean. They are comfortable, but they just aren't as substantial as the Slaps. I should have splurged and bought another pair of Slaps!

Kinda get what you pay for, they are cheaper but they also feel cheaper then most reef sandals. They're comfy compared to most flip flops but don't meet the reef standard comfort. I own the slap reef sandals and found they have a lot more cushion and support. Good for beaching etc. but not good if you are hard on your feet and do a lot of walkin like I do.

I am not the type of person to spend big bucks on flip-flops but I always wanted a pair of reefs and I had a gift card that I needed to use at Amazon so I went for it! Shipment was fast and I love my new flip-fops. They are super comfortable and super cute.
