Customer Reviews Reef Sandy Love

I wear a size 7.5 medium shoe. I ordered a size 8 in the color calypso. The width was fine, but the length was a tad too short. My heel came right to the edge. I prefer for there to be a tiny bit of empty space all the way around my foot. The strap and toe post were soft and comfortable. It seems as though this style would last a long time since the footbed and sole are thicker than some of the other styles. A bunch of brown flakes had come off the footbed and/or sole and were inside the clear plastic bag. I don't think the flakes were particles of dirt. I returned these and chose not to reorder a size 9 because I am pretty sure it would be too large.

Sizing is still off. I wear a 7 1/2 consistently except Reef flip flops - size 9. I also wear Reef Escape Sling in an 8 with plenty of room. Reviews about sizing were mixed so I assumed the flip flop sizing was fixed. It's not.

Bought two pairs, same size but different colors. The brown/coral pair fits great, straps feel great on my feet. The straps on the black ones, however, are very loose and make them uncomfortable to wear. Not sure if they were tried on before by a person with larger feet who stretched them out or what, but my feet started to hurt after wearing them to the grocery store bc they kept slipping off. Cannot return them now bc I wore them. Not sure why same size in different colors could fit so differently.

Been buying these for years, they where the best flip lops out there, not no more. They run small and narrow. New bottom doesn't seem like it will have as much traction on wet surfaces like the old ones. Reef why change something that wasn't broken?

Super comfortable sandals. Wore them almost everyday for a year then the bottom sole of the shoe started separating from the rest of the sandal. Had to stop wearing them because I started tripping on the disconnecting sole. Was so sad. Great while they lasted, wish they lasted longer.

I love these sandals! They are the most comfortable sandles I own. My current pair is starting to wear out and I came to repurchase and the brown ones are gone! What happened? Only black and really loud colors?

I have another pair of the Sandy that I have had for years. I ordered the same size and the ones that arrived are not even close to being the same. I called customer service and was told oh yea you are not the first person that has said that. We changed manufacturers. She said I should order a size up and another of the same size and return the ones I have. Thats not going to happen. I will send them back and go find a store that has them to try to find a pair that fits right. I do love my other Sandy's they are the only flip flops I can wear.

I like these sandals although not near as well as a pair I bought a couple summers ago. Was hoping to find another that looks a little better. Mine are looking pretty worn but still wear them/

Great design...very pretty and vibrant. Unfortunately, I should have listened to several reviews that said they were a size too short!!! And indeed they were! I love Reefs...they've worked better and fit better than any other flip flop I've had (and I've had many!!). I wear a size 11..so I cannot go up a size....so disappointing.

Too small! Being returned at the moment. Almost a whole size too small. I'm sad that I wear a size 11 and don't have the option to go up a size because I love the colors and very comfortable.

These flips are really cute, but my feet are on the wider side and the straps were way too tight.

Sandals are great, but after ordering online, I noticed a dramatic increase in spam email.

Everyday flip flop, simple and comfy, not the same as it used to be though. somewhat disappointed in changes and won't likely purchase again. Flip flop is stiffer now and the botttom sole surface is actually slippery. Also, item received doesn't match images shown online-images show previous model with more flexible sole and materials.

Fits great, very comfortable; however, the metallic threading began to unravel IMMEDIATELY after the first time I wore them. If you don't mind lopsided embroidery this is the sandal for you. Otherwise I'd stick with more traditional looking Reefs.

This sandal is great looking, but made for only one foot type - narrow. If your foot is even slightly wider than the strictest definition of narrow, do not buy this sandal. If you are truly narrow, then this is the sandal for you. I purchased a cross strap sandal as well and it appears that Reef primarily caters to the narrow foot - wide feet beware.

I am slightly disappointed with them. They are saying true to size, but they are not. When I bought the first pair back in 2011 in a store the clerk told me that the black with colored straps ran short, but they were wide. I tried them and they were great for my wide feet and I wear a 7- 7 1/2. Two years later I bought another black with color and a brown pair. The black was spot on and the browns were slightly tight and slightly shorter. Then fall of 2016 ordered two solid black and they are about 1/4 inches shorter and not as wide. Now these brown ones are even 1/4 shorter than that and not as wide. I like them a lot for once it gets warm enough I am in flip flops all the time since I can not find sandals that fit with my wide ball feet, but narrow heels. They are very comfortable, but the size keeps shrinking.

Loved the look and feel, but I'm an 8.5 and the 9's were too small so I sent them back.

I like my Reef's, however, not the same as years ago, but what is? The sole is the hard plastic and not soft rubber and the straps were a little tight across my foot, which my foot is very narrow, so I though that was odd!

I've been buying this exact same pair of flip flops every year for the last ten years. Ordered these in the same size I always do, yet somehow they are way too small. Since I'm leaving for vacation in a few days, I just decided to wear them and hope they'll loosen up a bit, but there's not much that can be done about the sole of the shoe being so much shorter than usual. I even held them up alongside the last two pairs I bought and they are noticeably shorter. Moving forward I will order at least a half size larger.

Found these a bit small compared to other Reef sandals I've bought over the years. Narrow and shorter, not true to size. Left foot right on edge at heel which is not what I've experienced in the past. However, not sure if next size would be too big! Will not buy this style again unless reviews show improvement.

I had a pair of these for years and looks like the sole is a bit changed up but that's ok. The sad part is they run about 1/2 to 1 size small. I'd order up!! Luckily I ordered a size up for my husband just not mine :(

I wanted to replace the Reefs that are my all-time favorite flip flops that I have had for years, in black and brown, before they fall apart. but these don't come close. No arch support and stiff and with half the sole thickness, looking and feeling much more cheaply made then the ones I have and not comfortable at all. Either you're making them a lot cheaper or there is another more similar style I overlooked, though the picture of these looked the same. The second possibility is the only reason I didn't give less than 3 stars. I'll be returning these and won't get Reefs again unless I happen to find acceptable ones in a store.

I love these sandals, but they are so hard to find right now. I appreciate that it appears that Reef is ramping up on different styles of shoes, but I think they underestimated production on the sandy and sandy loves.
