When I first saw these in Macys two summers ago, I thought they were a bit on the expensive side, but I really needed some brown flip flops that didn't look too cheap and would be comfortable. I'm not one to break in shoes, especially cheap sandals - they have to be comfy from the first time I put them on. A year and a half later I'm still wearing my Reefs and loving them!
They are well made, and while I wish they had a bit more arch support, they are still way better than your average flip flop from O**N***. The fabric straps are phenomenally comfortable - no break in necessary, and the strap that goes between your toes is comfortable and doesn't cause any chafing. While other flip flops make my feet sore after a few hours walking, I'm usually fine after a whole day walking on my Reefs.
I've worn them literally everywhere, in the ocean, on beaches, on grass, through rainstorms, and they've held up very well! The soles get "squishy" and slippery when wet, which makes them a bit more difficult to walk in, so I wouldn't recommend them for daily use in wet conditions, but other than that they are great. I am ordering some more in different colors for next summer.
