Love the shoes, though they surprised me

The great thing about Reefs is that they last forever. I bought a pair for $3 bucks at a boardwalk shop at the end of the season six years ago, and they are still going strong. This shoe has many of the same qualities I liked in the original, but the strap was getting dirty on my old pair, so I thought I should buy a new one. (I don't wan't to risk it in the washer, too lazy to hose it off.)

These have the great two layer sole I love. The top layer is about 1/4 inch thick, and it's really soft. After a while, it molds to the shape of your foot and gives some great support, so it has that in common with my Birkenstocks.  The second, bottom layer is harder, and it makes sure that your feet never sink to the sidewalk like some cheaper flip flops do after a season of use.

The tread of the flip flop is pretty darn sturdy. It gives you a good grip on everything except wet laminate, so I advise against wearing these inside a public building or university during a rainy Spring day. Not good. But the tread holds up to some pretty abusive surfaces. I've taken them camping many times, and they hold up pretty well against gravel. You shouldn't do too much of it, but infrequent gravel walking won't phase these shoes. (Unlike every other flip flop known to man, except those dweeby looking sports flip flop sandal thingies.)

I don't advise walking in really wet areas with these. They won't be bothered by water at all, but it seems to absorb some moisture, so if you try to go wading or walk through the surf on the shore, don't be surprised if you squeak and slip around a bit.

The material for the straps is quite strong, and the embroidery hasn't raveled at all from my old or new pair. (The only difference between the two seems to be the strap embroidery.) The old pair's embroidery only got dirty after a year of use (my feet seem to attract dirt, so most flip flops are disasters after two uses.) The new pair is still sparkly.

A negative of these flip flops is that there is no arch support, so this is a bad choice for flat or high arched people for long term wear. I have completely flat feet, but I wear these anyways, and as long as I'm not walking for more than an hour at a time (don't wear these to the mall or to go exploring the city all day!) these are pretty decent support.

A positive of these is that the thong of the shoe (that's the word for the fabric part, whatever it is made of) is fabric. Unlike plastic thongs, which can rub against your toes and make them sore, or can be too thick for the space between your toes and be uncomfortable that way, is that the thong is fabric. It's soft on your toes, and you don't particularly notice it at all, which is a good thing.

The heel area of the rubber is a little thicker than the toe area, which works out pretty well for me at least. I find a thicker heel feels better than a completely flat foot bed, but these aren't tall enough that you'll feel uncomfortable at all.

These flip flops do not run small. They run exact. It seems small, however, because a lot of people prefer their flip flops a bit longer and, you know, floppier. You have been warned.

Overall, these shoes are just pretty darn awesome, they just might not fit everyone's needs.

Let me start off by saying I ordered these for an "every day casual grunge" look. These are not casual everyday shoes. Don't get me wrong; the shoes are super cute. I absolutely love them. I only have a few things to point out to future, potential buyers. The shoes I received aren't the shoes pictured. They're a much taller heel. I'm okay with it, but I was expecting a shorter, more practical heel. And the heel is made of a plastic material. The kind that is quite slippery on most hard surface floors. Which is also not practical. I do love them though. Made well. Sizing was perfect. Comfortable. But certainly only for 'once in a while' wear.

Even more visually appealing than I thought. I only put somewhat small because my big toe sometimes touches the top, which will probably change after my foot has broken the shoe in

I was worried because other people said the shoe was really small, I am normally a size 11 and ordered an 11.5 and they are abit too big but fit width wise. and I have really wide feet so the hype was exaggerated.

Overall really beautiful, really comfortable and an amazing price. considering ordering the blue pair now

This was the weirdest thing.  When I first got the shoes I thought wow these are so tight I don't think I can keep them but I  thought I would wear them for one  day around the house with super thin socks  and see what happens.  By the end of the day they were much better and the next day I  could easily wear them with my regular athletic socks.  Obviously they stretch a lot so don't be discouraged at first if them seem way too tight like many of the reviews indicated. Good looking shoes also.  They just stretch a lot because there is so much mesh.  I will say that  they are not for running.  I just wear them shopping and to aerobics classes but I would not think  they have the support needed for jogging.

I thought this shoe was adorable, so I ordered it.  Looking at it, I was not expecting it to be super comfortable.  When I finally wore it, I was really surprised.  The sole is some sort of rubbery material that works like shock absorbers.  I can walk quite a distance in these shoes without any foot pain.  I also find the color of the blue and gray ones to be true to what is pictured.

I was most pleasantly surprised at how well the shoes fit, and how well they look. It feels more like I am wearing expensive slippers than shoes. Due to a botched surgery on my back, my legs are extremely weak, but these shoes are so light, I can walk with comfort. Thank you, I will be ordering more from you.

I really love these shoes. It took me a while to do some research and make sure I get the correct size, and I'm glad I did.
Love the colour! Looks very funky, and I can wear them on almost anything.
Only two points of criticism:
1. They don't provide arch support, and my arch is pretty high. So I'm using insoles from my "Woz?" shoes in them, and they're more comfy now.
2. The base of the shoe is not very light, but overall it's ok since the rest of the shoes are.
Overall, love them, they make me so happy!

I love the look and feel of these shoes.  They were more "sparklely" than I expected, but they suit me.

Okay, I read some of the other reviews before buying these, and they were mixed.  But I took a chance.  I waited to write my review to see how I liked the shoes as time progressed.  And I like them.  The heel is about 3.5 to 4 inches high (I couldn't find the heel height listed in the description), which is on the high side for what I like to wear these days.  But they look very elegant on my feet, and make my legs look longer (hey, I'm 5'3" - I need all the help I can get!).  They have a texture or something to the inside of the shoe and the strap, so once they're on, they don't slide around - a plus in my opinion.  I've had them for about 3 months now, and have worn them more than a dozen times.  I am tired after wearing them for a full work day (but that may be as much old age as anything else), but they don't hurt, so another plus.  And I get lots of compliments on them, so apparently others think they look good, too.  So all in all, I'm quite pleased with them.

I loved these shoes. The picture does not show the shimmery look, that was a nice surprise! The sole was a tad lighter also almost clear. The inside is cushioned and very comfortable. The fit is a tad snug and firm. But I did expect that from this type of shoe.
I don't believe they are real leather. so the product is definiteley mislabeled!!! I not too disappointed in the quality though because the of the price and the do look great. I like them so much I going to order another pair!

Not what i expected, but they are comfortable.

I don't know if that is a normal thing, but I was surprised to say the least. I had the foresight to go half a size down from what I normally wear. It fits well.

I choose this rating because I thought I was getting the black monoch "leather ones", but when my shoes arrived I was disappointed. I believe this is a error on my behalf. Mainly because I didn't see nor did I care to confirm it, but should I have? Either way I love these shoes and I love these wrong ones and I am not that upset just disappointed. This clearly is a mistake that will not happen twice! And for the record these shoes are eligible for Free Returns, So I am happy with my poor choice.

Overall the shoes seem to checkout. I looked over them and they seem to check out. the badge is there and the name on the heel is spelt correct, so I LIKE!

Believe it or not but this is and will not be my last shoe purchase from Amazon. However, it is my first and I'd recommend buying from amazon to family, friends and shoppers.

These shoes are shockingly comfortable right out of the box.  They are super cute and well made.  I just wish the heel was a little higher.  Other than that they are a really fantastic  purchase.

I bought the black and the color is sharp and looks just like the photo. I receive many compliments on these shoes. While I wish they were a little bit more comfortable because of the price, I am in love with these shoes. It is too soon to tell, but they seem to be good quality. I usually buy a 7 in boots so I can wear socks, but followed a reviewers advice and went down half a size. The 6.5 is good and I can wear thick or thin socks with them just fine. They are narrow which I love because I have narrow feet. For the price, I wish they had more arch support. I loved these so much that my husband surprised me with the brown pair too.

A nice pair of Boosts, more than I expected.

These were a choice I made out of four brands, that were black and similar. I hadn't had a pair of Nike's in a while. So, I chose these. The arrival of the shipment got here ahead of schedule. The shoes I've learned to love. However, shame on amazon, for once again, I read false description. No leather uppers here. Like I said, I learned to love these Nike's. I was going to return them. However, not a conscious choice of mine. I learned that a synthetic upper for Nike, is in a class all by itself. These shoes work well for me. If there is any leather in the construction of this shoe, it certainly is not on the visible upper.
