I bought these for the week long trip I took in FL. I hated how other sandals would slide off while I was trying to walk through the sand and the water. I was immediately drawn to the back strap! I didn't count on them being the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. It's like walking on clouds. They were super cute on my feet, the Velcro strap never gave out, sand and water fell right off of them. I even had compliments about them in the airports while traveling. Perfect perfect perfect!! Taking these shoes in my Italy/Greece trip.

I bought these sandals bc I had 2 upcoming trips- one to disneyworld and one to Hawaii and thought they'd be great. So far I've only gone to disneyworld and didn't have super high hopes for these. I packed 2 pairs of sandals but never even took out the other ones. These carried me for 3 days- walking all day, waiting in line, running after my toddler and my feet were fine day after day.
I'm highly impressed with the comfort level of these shoes- please don't hesitate to grab a pair. They are worth every penny.

I needed a water shoe that I could also dress up to wear out and these are exactly what I was looking for. They're adorable, weigh almost nothing and are super comfortable. The braided look is really attractive. You'd never know they were water shoes, but I wore them to the beach this weekend and they were awesome, dried super fast and stayed tight even in the waves.
They don't come in half sizes so I sized up and it worked out perfectly. You can adjust the Velcro (don't worry you can barely tell there is Velcro!) on the back and they fit nicely.

Honestly, these are overhyped. I got a 7 because I usually wear a 7.5 and it was too small and awkward lengthwise but way too wide (I have normal medium width feet). The 8 would have been way too big. I think if you have wider or thick feet these may work for you. I returned mine and didn't reorder bc I was so underwhelmed by the product.

I'm a 6.5 always size down for sandals. I got these and the top strap was squeezing hurting the top of my foot. They wouldn't let me exchange it for a larger size. I did end up getting the size 7 too and after a couple hours I realized it was still hurting. The pressure on my top foot bone was kicking in because it's not that soft or stretchy. I just found out about foot spurs which means the bone on top of my foot has an extra piece of bone so it protrudes more than normal. I've never had an issue with any shoes I've even worn and my foot looks the same to me as it always have not a recent growth. So idk. Sucks for me? I guess it's not for anyone with a bone spur aka pointier bone on top of foot.

I wore these once on a walk, and I got blisters on every single part of my foot that was in contact with one of the edges. On my toes by the top edge of the shoes, in the middle of my foot where there's a split in the shoe, and on my Achilles' heel at the back strap of the shoe. The blistering was so awful I took them off and willingly walked over burning asphalt and pricker-laden grass instead.
The lack of any kind of cloth cushioning between the edge of the shoe and your foot means that if you sweat at all, the friction WILL give you a blister. Maybe if you have really thick skin or are wearing them underwater you'll be fine? Or if you wear them with socks?
I definitely have the right size of shoe. It's my normal size, and the shoes are decently snug around my foot without feeling tight anywhere.
Just a ridiculous design.

I bought the white and love them so much! My only complaint is the sole has stayed bright white while the straps have yellowed. Even with a thoroughly cleaning, no success in getting them back to white all the way around. I'll definitely order more pairs, just probably not white again. I love being unconcerned about them getting wet especially in Florida where rain happens unexpectedly. I did get large blisters the first time I wore them on the inside of my foot, so I'd recommend a back up shoe until you break them in a little. Can't recommend them enough even with the few issues!

I bought these right before leaving for Disney. I packed Chacos to wear throughout the parks, worst mistake. I'm so SO thankful that I packed these sandals. By the end of our first day my Chacos had blistered the bottoms of my feet and the only other shoes I had were my Reef Sandals. I wore them the rest of our trip and didn't have anymore problems of my feet hurting. They molded perfectly to my foot and still had a very comfortable amount of cushion left. These are seriously the best shoes I have ever bought. My Brooks and Chacos don't even compare to these sandals.

I get so many compliments on these, and what I love is how comfortable and cute they are! I have had my black pair for almost a year and already they've become my favorite sandal to travel with. They don't pack up small, but so worth it. I went to Mexico and the whole time, I pretty much wore these. I could ride a bike, do a little work, go to the beach, then go to a nice dinner in these sandals. I want all the colors now!!

I got these for a trip in June. They were wonderful but after 2 months of sparingly wearing them they have a hole in the side of the shoe. I didn't expect them to last forever but definitely more than 20 wears or so.

Fits great. No break-in time needed. I was worried that the plastic strap would be painful but I walked in these for like 5 miles in one day and there were zero issues. A great sandal to have as an alternate tot he Arizona Birks EVA because these have a backstrap on the heel so it won't slip off. I like that. I walked around on some rocky beaches with these and it was good. Good support. It's like 1.5 inches so gives a little height, as opposed to say, crocs. I highly recommend. (Sort of wish they weren't so darn expensive though, but so is everything in this planet at this time...)
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Crocs

I really wanted to like them, but I have long-ish toes and my big toes were sticking out by just a hair. Considering the stretchy material, I can only assume that they will stretch after a few wears and my poor toes will be hanging off the top. I'm a size 9.5 in running shoes and I fit fine in Size 9. I just wish they were a smidge longer in front or if the straps shift back a little, it'd be perfect. There was a good 1/2 inch gap between my heel and the back of the sandal.

These are cute. They are nice for the water. Do not wear them to long. They give you blisters. They are not comfortable for long term use.

These rubbed my feet so badly. I got them for a beach trip and absolutely hated wearing them. Once wet they rubbed and I got blisters. Now they just sit in my closet. Not worth it at all! They are cute though...

These are SO comfortable. I normally wear a 9 in shoes and the 9 fit perfectly for both length of my foot and width. I ordered them in white and plan to buy other colors as well because something to think about when buying the white is that they are hard to keep clean. I stepped into some tar on the beach and although the tar came out it left a yellowish stain on the side of the white shoe. I have tried everything to scrub it off and the stain is still there. I am ordering black next since they won’t show as much!

I needed a sandal that would support my feet and ankles and prevent my foot sliding around when both the sandal and my feet were wet after leaving the pool. These have done very well so far. The footbed has a rope like texture that prevents sliding but is very comfortable. I usually wear a size 8, but the suggested size was 7, and I went with the 7. I am very glad I did, as they fit perfectly, neither my heel nor my toes hang off. The generous Velcro closure makes them easy to secure. They are not clunky or heavy and stay on securely and comfortably.

Its hard to describe how much I love these sandals. They have all the comfort of these ooooother shoes (you can figure it out) but are so much more stylish and go with everything. I wore these in Maui everyday and each adventure for a week (hiking cliffsides, playing on the beach, hiking through the Road to Hana, walks in the wet jungle and natural pools etc) and they were comfy the entire time. Even after jungle hike (see photo) they were so dirty and I simply cleaned them in the shower with soap and a cloth. Only regret is I didnt buy these sooner and definitely will order new colors! They run true to size, Im usually an 8.5 and ordered a 9. Dont stretch when wet either. Also look so cute with little dresses. Looooove them.

I live in Florida and these are great for the pool and beach and just casual walks. Only thing I have noticed is the velcro strap on one shoe comes loose easily. But overall a great sandal!

These sandals are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn; they are so cushiony and so stylish. I look these shoes across Europe for 2 weeks and never got a blister once. I'm talking... walking around for 10 hours a day in these bad boys and my feel never got tired. I will say that there was a breaking in period at the beginning, maybe a few days, and I got blisters on two of my toes and the sides of my ankles. So, if you're going to take them on a trip make sure you wear them out a few times before traveling. Cannot recommend these enough. I just love them. They're so cute, they go with everything, and very easy to clean. I'll definitely be buying another pair in another color. :)

These shoes were absolutely worth the price for my recent trip to the Adriatic Sea Coast in Croatia. I needed a pair of versatile shoes that could double as walking shoes for a yacht trip - ones that could withstand the water and pebbly beaches, but also be cute enough and comfortable enough to walk around and explore older European cities. They were a little slick on the limestone, but overall great. And I went out with them. They were cute enough to double as going out shoes when my "comfortable" heels were inevitably not going to cut it on cobblestone streets. For what they were, they were perfect. They aren't my go-to shoe for something super stylish - but they get the job done and I'm so happy I purchased them for this trip!
