I usually wear a 9.5. So, I ordered a 10. Long story short, thank goodness for Zappos easy exchange policy. I ended up with an 11.

The only thing Id like to fix is to put some grip tape or something on the metal part of the bottle opener facing the ground. People tend to use the middle of their foot to step up on stuff and that bottle opener, being bare metal, is very slippery. For example, climbing into a lifted jeep. when I stepped on the rail of the jeep, not only did I scratch the rail but almost fell on my butt because the bottle opener made me loose my footing. So yeah, a little grip or something on that one small piece would be AWESOME! This is my 3rd pair in about 3 years. Great flipflop! Long Lasting and cool!

Very comfortable casual sandal. Bottle opener on bottom is an added plus. I have had three pairs and only complaint is that the toe strap frayed and broke on the first two pairs after about 1 year.

Slightly narrow on the straps but loosen up with wear. Love them

Strap between the toes tends to come out on the newer ones sooner than the older ones. Also the logos tends to wear off faster than before. Thanks

Use them every chance I get. I am a flip flop girl, and these go everywhere.

After 2 pairs I have mixed feelings. These look great, which is most important, and are comfortable, but IMO are kind of heavy and clunky for thong sandles. The angle on the footbed also kind of slam your foot forward, so it's important to get the size right otherwise you'll find your toes scraping the pavement. Lastly, the bottle opener is a fun idea, but unless you keep em clean it will end up grossing people out. My dad wore these out in the yard doing random stuff and the bottle opener is quick to collect mud and dirt - or whatever else you're walking in. Just think about that in the long run.

Once the Fannings get worn in they rock.

This is my second pair and I'm hoping it lasts as long as the first pair. My first pair: I purchase my first pair back in 2006/07 and I threw them away summer of 2012. Hands down, the longest lasting sandal I've ever had. This was a sandal that was worn almost all summer long, from causal walking to biking to futbol. I took this sandal to 6 different countries in all types of terrain. The only limitation of this sandal is the bottle opener on bottom. I want to say after about 2 to 3 years the show loses a bit of it's integrity and this part being plastic does not. What ended up happening was some pain in the middle of the foot. I'm a bit stubborn so I kept wearing it, however this was a major factor in considering a different sandal. Truth is, because of the duration of the sandal I thought it was worth trying it out again. Second pair recently purchased: While it is coming to winter, I've been wearing them indoors to get them set in for the summer. Thus far it feels very much like my last pair. Hopefully it will last as long, however this go I'll probably get rid of them if the center portion begins to cause pain after wear and tear. Advice to Reef: Make this exact shoe, but find a way to get rid of the bottle opener. If you do that you'll have at least 1 life long customer. Cheers!

Kind of like Cinderella, I tried different brands and styles finally choosing the Reef Fanning as best. The beer opener on the bottom is cute, might get used, but could have done without.

More comfy than most flip flops that I have owned, but seem to be smaller than others with the same size label!

Shipping was overnight, Zappos is the best online shopping site! My husband has been buying Reef Fanning for many years, but this time they are too tight. Probably just a bad batch.

This is my 3rd pair of "bottle opener" sandals from reef over the course of 10 years. I have not had this new pair very long, but the feel is similar to that of the old models (and that one lasted me 6 years before all the traction on the bottom was gone). Keep up the good work Reef!

The only con with these sandals is the bottom, I use the sandals while boating, while I like the bottle opener I would prefer the sandal have the non-skid shoe surface on the entire bottom. I am doubful I will ever use the sandal to open a beer, traction on slick surfaces is much more important.

I notice the soles were clear when I bought them but after using them it has a foggy look but other than that very happy and pleased with sandals.

Love the sandals and the built in bottle opener on the sole. This is my second pair, the first ones only lasted a year and a half, but I'm hoping it was a fluke. Very comfortable.

A comfortable flip flop that appears quite well made. I have a wide foot and had to order a much larger size than I normally would in order to get a proper fit. I wear a size 13 and needed to order a 15 in order for the upper to fit. The lower is a little too big, but I don't mind too much. The toe strap could be a bit softer as it is causing a small bit of chafing.

Overall awesome pair of flip flops. Just beware they are narrow even for a guy that has a narrow width foot.

Great sandals and I liked the review someone wrote about the sizes running smaller. My 11 fits well even though I am a 10.5.

The flip flops are super stylish and confortable, however the sizing couldve been better. I am typically a 7' 1/2, but had to order a size 7'

Absolutely love this shoe and the bottle opener! Wore my last pair for 2 years and was looking forward to wearing these that long as well however after wearing ONLY ONE TIME the pink color on sides started cracking and chipping. Very disappointing

I have had a pair of these for a couple years and LOVE them. They are comfortable, supportive and durable. I'm looking to purchase a replacement pair now, but there are too many girly colors. I wish the fashion world would acknowledge that not all girls like everything (or anything, for that matter) to be pink and cutesy. If you could offer more neutral colors/designs, I would buy a new pair or two every year. They are that good.
