Title: They make your bottom of feet black
Review: They are comfy. Second day wearing them, the black soles made my feet black within a few hours of wearing them..so if you are looking for a pair of flip flops that dont make the bottom of your feet black, then these are not for you. If you can get past that, then you will enjoy these. They have good support so your knees don't hurt after walking around in them for awhile. They seem to be made from durable materials. They are pretty accurate for sizing so no need to go up a size. They look good and it's easy to walk in them. I would definitely buy them again. And the bottle opener on the bottom of each flip flip doesn't obstruct your normal movement when walking. I wad concerned that it would create some sort of stiff spot but it does not. So its definitely worth buying these. And if you are like me, I normally buy inexpensive flip flops, it's worth the extra dough to buy these.

Title: My favorite sandals
Review: I love these thongs.The price is reasonable. For a good and comfortable pair of Danske, they are middle of the road in terms of price point.The air cushion makes for a fabulous cushion.The outsole has great wear characteristics that make it last a truly long time.The fit is comfortable.The straps are nicely padded.The bottle openers on the soles are a nice touch, but useless.My only complaint is the mode of failure is that the adhesive will fail over time, causing the straps to loosen over time. Water exposure seems to quicken the process.

Title: **5 YEAR UPDATE** Fantastic sandals once you find the correct size.
Review: 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.

Title: Great fit, comfortable, functional
Review: These flips met all of my expectations. They are performing as well as the pair i bought in Hawaii a few years ago. Quality flips all around.

Title: No direct sunlight for prolonged time
Review: These flip flops are very durable and comfortable. However, the glue that holds the sole of the shoe together melted in direct sunlight after being left outside for 1 full day. The sole of the shoe came right off. Had to either glue back together, or get a new pair. New pair was worth it, as these shoes seem to last a long time, but keep them out of direct sunlight for an extended amount of time, especially when itâs very hot outside.

Title: Great sandals that don't even need my review! But here you go anyway... UPDATE
Review: UPDATE to my initial review.The reefs after just 3 or so months the air sole developed a hole in the side, so the support on my right sandal was slumping when I walked. I just want to say that, with minimal hassle, the customer support was great to work with, and I got a new pair of sandals that are currently working great with no issues! Still love the style and fit. These sandals are so comfortable and I wear them all the time.Just one side note, they get smelly quickly so be sure to clean them regularly.________________ INITIAL REVIEW_______________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
