I have a thinner foot and sometimes the strap seems looser than I would like, but they are so comfortable.

Purchased the fanning's while on vacation 1 year in Florida. I wear them all the time around the house and when I'm washing the vehicles. I wished they made the orange and white again. These fanning have lasted going on 2 years now . Love them guys!!

This flip-flop is great, and as a result I've brought multiple pairs of these.
They do run a little small so order a size up. My foot does tend to get sweaty in them, so I have to clean them regularly. I'm giving them 4 stars for that and the size discrepancy.

The Fanning style Reef is excellent around the pool, beach, and running about town. Downside is that it doesn't seem to come in any other colors.

Bought these for my brother, who has enjoyed Reefs in the past. He has nueropathy due to diabetes. He likes these, but the top bands are rather tight and he hopes they will stretch out after wearing.

The pair that I bought for my son have a much softer piece between the toes.

Very comfortable, but what was Reef thinking when they put the metal clip on the bottom. First, sit on a barstool and feel the metal scratch the finish on the stool. Second, the clip is another place to hold dirt or other things--use your imagination. Third, open a beer with the bottom of your shoe then put the bottle in your mouth, I bet that can add some flavor. Reef, give me an answer if you can. Get rid of the clip and make the bottom smooth like you're suppose to. Send me a pair when you get it right, and I will sell some sandals for you. Challenge them, Zappos!

Yes, I know these are supposed to be for men (which is why I can't comment on the sizing) but I liked the style. They're fairly comfortable to wear as the footbed isn't overly bumpy like some Crocs I have. What I don't like about them is that the faux suede band that holds them onto your feet takes a really long time to dry and I needed something to get me into & out of the pool everyday. And yes, Virginia, the metal thing on the bottom of the sole really does work as a bottle opener! (I tried it.)

Always a great pair of sandals. My 3rd pair-one thing I will say is the silver wears off quickly..that would be my only negative comment.

Flip Flops with support! About as comfortable as any rubber shoe can be. No, they won't spare you the rough foot bottom syndrome which Flip Flops are famous for, though the platform surface does provide traction superior to ordinary Flip Flops. Can take a while to break in the toe divider so it is comfortable. Offers great traction on wet surfaces. Yes, that IS a bottle opener on the bottom.

I have tried the rest and have now discovered the best. Journey started with a pair of Phantoms, which were a revolution in terms of comfort, and have since purchased Vision, Flex, Slap and now 2 pairs of the world renowned Fannings[ my father liked them so much he stole my first pair].I envisage longevity from the Fannings, due to the airbag heel and solid construction. In closing, very happy and will be looking to purchase Reef products in the future. ps, Can't find another pair of Black/Grey Reef Visions in Australia. HELP ME REEF. Regards, Oz's No. 1 fan

Owned a couple pairs of these. Best sandals I've come across. Wish they had a few tan colors though.

I have had flat feet, my whole life. It has been extremely difficult to find a show that fits my foot AND I can stand it all day. Reef has given me that freedom. I rarely say "my feet hurt" anymore. Thank you Reef for finding me!!!

I have owned three pairs of these sandals and have found them very comfortable, but I have not paid full price for a pair yet. The sole is a comfortable, soft and springy foam, which doesn't have the longevity of some other materials or brands. The material used in the upper does not require a break-in time like leather sandals, and remains comfortable over time. The style of sandals is very casual or sporty. They're incredibly comfortable to put on after a run or to wear around the house, but the style might not be appropriate for all settings. They remain highly recommended thought.

Good product, wish I could still find the style that had more cushion in the heel/instep that I bought 4 years ago.

These are great shoes: lightweight, stylish, good arch support, and pretty true to size. Unfortunately, it seems the craftsmanship on my last pair was a bit under par, as the treads on the bottom after about a week of wear began to separate and peel off. Its a simple fix with some shoe-goo, but this is the first time Ive had this happen on a pair of Reefs. And this is my 7th pair and the only to have this problem.

Great for the boat with the grey non-skid sole. Not as soft in the heel as I thought they would be. Reef Springtide is more comfortable but not as durable so far.

I never wore flip flops until I tried Reef Fanning. They fit my foot and stay on my narrow foot.

Support my arches and my feet/legs to not hurt after wearing them for several hours.

I buy a new pair of these sandals every year and pretty much where them every day. I work at a scuba diving store so they are always getting wet. I wear them to the beach for surfing and kayaking so they are always getting sandy, salty and wet. Super comfortable with a stylish look. I find they tend to stretch out a little bit so I always get a size smaller and they stretch a bit and fit perfect. If you are an outdoorsy girl that still wants to look cute, these are the perfect sandals!
