I wanted to replace a pair of old Reef's that I have, and these run too small and narrow. The sole material is also much harder and heavier than it used to be. I would recommend ordering a full size larger.

For the past 10 years I have bought these exact flip-flops from Reef every 2-3 years with no issues. This time, they gave me blisters. Specifically, right below the Reef logo on the straps, located on the outside of each foot. These were my only flip-flops I bought on my trip to Central America, and I was in pain -- it was a real bummer. After about two weeks, these flip-flops did finally break in, but it wasn't worth it. I wouldn't recommend getting these.

Used to love this style however the sizing seems much smaller then it used to. A size 8 was too small so I sent them back.

I’ve been buying the same black Reefs for years, but when it came time to replace the last pair, Nordstrom didn’t sell them anymore and I couldn’t buy them in person. I searched online and finally decided that “Ginger” must be the ones I’ve been wearing all along. I was so disappointed when I received them and they seemed like a cheap knock-off version - completely different than the old Reefs I used to wear. Very disappointing.

These fit way smaller than expected. I wear a size 7.5 to 8 usually, although in Chacos I wear a size 7. I have a pair of Reef flip flops that look just like these from years ago in size 8 which still fit beautifully but are worn out. So, I ordered a size 8 this time, but they fit like a 6 and are quite narrow. Returning, sadly. I think I will avoid this brand for now, since I have no idea what is up with the sizing.

Super disappointed in these flip flops. I have a pair of Star gazers that I absolutely love. The Ginger flip flops are comfortable on the bottom on your feet but the strap is really uncomfortable. I would not recommend these if you plan to walk a lot. Would not buy again either.

I've been wearing these flip flops for years and love them. Unfortunately the last pair I ordered is smaller than the classic size 8. I wear a 7.5 and my foot is still a bit larger than the size 8 that was sent.

I would love to be able to wear these flip flops but I am in between a 6 and a 7, I really wish they came in half sizes!

I've purchased this style of reefs in the past and since finding them They are my flip flop of choice. This pair was cute but useless because the straps are so short I could barely get my foot under them. They certainly didn't fit so I had to return them.

While I like the way the sandal looks - the way that it fits is less than desirable. I am a huge fan of Reef, but this sandal cuts into the base of my toes. It was a last minute purchase and if I wasn't on vacation while wearing them I would have returned them.

I was so excited to get these. I waited. They finally came and.... huge disappointment. They were way too small both in length and width. I do not have wide feet nor have I ever had an issue with any type of shoe being too narrow. I also wear an 8 and this shoe is an entire size too small. I should have ordered a 9. I sent a message about a return/exchange and never received a response. I did use the return slip included so hopefully I get a refund at some point.

The slippers were great, just too small. I returned them on Wednesday so I hope I can exchange them to a size 7 fo the same price I purchased them.

I purchased these originally for the arch support. They are very very slippery and are hard to put on without putting them on with your hands. They are very very lightweight and are comfortable. My only problem is that they are very slippery and I had to put tape on the bottom of it to get some traction.

I love the look and comfort of Reef flip flops but the black staining on my feet, especially the heels, is ridiculous. im going to have to look around for another favorite pair.

Cute style, but order at least a size up, or not at all if you have wide feet like I do.

In short, the sandals were too tight around the front of my foot, and my toes slightly hung over the edge when I walked, although the length/size was not the issue. I have slightly wider feet and longer toes than average however. sadly I will be returning. the material and make of the sandals were awesome though, very cushioned.

Was looking to replace the reefs I've been wearing for 18 plus years, but unfortunately these weren't it. The arches were too high for my foot and need to be returned.

3yrs ago I had back surgery and as a result of my injury I have a nerve injury in 1 leg. I found the Ginger flip flops that summer and loved the high arch support, which made me feel sturdy on my foot and the straps kept the flip flop nice and tight to my foot and took a while to stretch the fabric tongs. In the last year to 1 1/2 I have been unable to find a pair like the ones I found after surgery. They look the same but the fabric tongs are already too loose. I know my one foot is a lot wider because of shifting my weight those first 2 yrs after surgery and therapy, but I wish it was my foot that. I find when I walk in these they feel like if I don't take care when walking, one might go flying off. I have purchased from many outlets and I keep giving them to my sister who doesn't mind how loose they are. But I'm disappointed they aren't as tight as they used to be. Especially for the price of the flip flop and the arch support was great. I'll have to go on a hunt for a new cute arch support sandal

I wear a size 8 usually, but the 8 was too short. I exchanged for a 9 and the length was right but the straps are super loose, so now too wide. I probably need an 8.5 but they only come in full sizes.

I have had these exact shoes in the same exact size for years. This time when I ordered them, they were too small. I held the new pair up to the old ones and there was about a half inch difference! I will probably return them and get the next size up because otherwise they are great sandals. I don't know why they changed the sizing, but they did!

I've worn Reef flip flops for years but haven't bought a new pair in a long time. These are so inferior to the older Reef flip flops. They feel cheap and poorly made.

I am usually a 7.5. I ordered an 8 and it was way too small. I would recommend going up a full size, then rounding up if a half size.
