REEFFanning Men's Bottle Opener Flip Flop, Arch Support, Durable Outsole, Water Friendly

**5 YEAR UPDATE** Fantastic sandals once you find the correct size.
Now that I have finally found a pair that are fit right, these sandals are great. The are very comfortable and seem to be a good quality. The built in bottle opener is a neat little perk. Only time will tell how they hold up. (See my update below)So I don't know where Reef gets their foot size dimensions but they are obviously a bit off. To start, I wear a size 9.5 Men's in pretty much every pair of shoes AND SANDALS I've owned for the past 25+ years. It's pretty consistent. I could probably wear a 10 in some brands, but 9.5 usually works once worn in some. Based upon numerous reviews on here, these sandals run small and people recommended ordering a size up, so I did. Holy crap the size 10 sandals were enormous, I put my foot in them and the amount of sandal sticking out passed my heel could likely be considered a reversed swim flipper. No lie, it was at least 2 inches passed the back of my foot. The strap placement and toe area were close to correct, but still too large. Figuring this was a fluke of some kind, I then ordered a size 9. Guess what, the size 9s are EVEN BIGGER than the 10s were, by a good half inch. It made absolutely no sense. I've already returned the 10s, so I can't take a comparison photo at this point, but the 10's were a solid half inch shorter than the 9s. Someone please explain that. So I tried wearing the 9s around the house a couple days to see if I could get used to them, but I just couldn't. It was like a never ending flat tire risk with those things. I would have to walk 4 feet in front of someone to avoid getting tripped up. So finally, I ordered a set of size 8s, which in theory should be WAY too small, especially considering everyone said they run small. But they are PERFECT. Perfect toe placement, perfect strap placement, only about a 3/4 of an inch passed the end of my foot. Perfect. Obviously that means something is wrong with this sizing too, but at least I found the size that fits a 9.5 foot. Now I have to attempt the return of the size "9s". So yeah, once you land the correct size, they're great. Good luck when you order. May the odds be in your favor.***5 year update***So I've had these sandals for nearly 5 years now and they are still great after wearing them basically daily from mid-May to late September. They're still super comfortable to wear and fit great. They are showing some decent wear on the bottom, but so far they haven't become noticeably slippery. I mean, how can you complain about heavily used sandals that still function perfectly after 5 years? I'm planning on buying another pair now just because these aren't the prettiest anymore, but I'm sure I'll continue to wear them frequently until they eventually give out. Still a Reef fan, no doubt.

Best one so far
Finally decided to get me new sandals and this pair had been great. Very confortable, feel like are very well made and has a bottle opener lol. Length size is perfect only thing that feels a bit tight is the star or whatever you call the part that hold it down to your feet. But I just had them for less than a month and I don't wear them long enough so hopefully it will stretch a bit.

Excellent, great price, long life
I love this sandal. Have been wearing Reef for over 3 decades. Comfortable and durable. Very competitive pricing. I never even consider buying a different sandal. Btw I’m 77 and Reef remains my choice. JM

Cool sandals / great as gifts
It’s our 3rd pair. They are durable and comfortable. The bottle opener is a fun idea if you live on a virgin Australian sand beach, but not anywhere else where you will pick up dog poop and melted tarmac. A great gift but the hygienic aspect of the bottle opener is eluding me.

Great sandals that don't even need my review! But here you go anyway...
They are Reefs.They are my first pair of Reefs, and wow I was seriously missing out. I always went for cheap flip flops and wore them out quick, or they broke, or they were uncomfortable. These Fannings are so comfortable I wouldn't hesitate to walk around all day with them. I think it is because they have such great foot support and they snug your feet (without being too tight). I have worn them a bunch in the last couple months, and they are just as new looking as the day I bought them. I will hopefully get years of use out of them before they need replacing. I have the reef slip on shoes (similar to Hey Dudes), and I like them alot, but I actually like wearing these sandals more now.On an additional note, these have a bottle opener on the bottom, which seems like a gimmick, but I have used it a few times at the beach when we didnt have an opener. When a gimmick becomes practical, it is no longer a gimmick. Love the added feature.. Would HIGHLY recommend these to anyone looking for a new pair of flip flops. You wont be disappointed. 5/5

Men’s flops
These shoes are truly amazing, the only downfall is though when they get water on them they do tend to break easily.I have had to buy my husband a pair every 6 months. I do wish they lasted longer. Because this is the only flip flop brand that he will wear.

PARMI LES REEF
chaque année j'en achète une paire pour mon fils. Après différents essais il m'a dit que ce modèle était le plus solide. Il habite dans les Caraïbes et porte quotidiennement ces sandales pendant 10 mois alors qu'il revient au pays et je lui en procure une autre paire. C'est son avis!!!!
