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. Review: Great sandals that don't even need my review! But here you go anyway... UPDATE - 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 ## Features - Upper | A mix of premium strap materials with a soft padded jersey lining - Footbed | Compression molded high rebound EVA with a built-in airbag under foot for added comfort - Outsole | Non-Marking Rubber Outsole with Bottle opener so that no party may go unquenched - Warranty | Reef wants to make sure you’re satisfied with your purchase.

Can these be worn walking around paved streets, shopping, etc.? Thanks** A: Put them on and prepare to be amazed. My last flip' was made by NIKE and I would only use them to walk less than 400-500ft. If I had to walk 3 miles in a flip this would be the one I'd use; & there is no second place choice. ENJOY! **Q: Will 9d(m) us fit a 8 and half?** A: That would be a safe bet. Reef Fanning are extremely accurate in their sizing and seeing is how there are no half sizes, I would definitely go up instead of down ... no one likes their toes coming out the front ; ) **Q: Will it be ok for tropical rainy season? Does it take long to get it dry again? Any persistant smell?** A: They should be fine in the rainy season. I use mine for washing cars and other things outside. They do not seem to absorb much water so they dry quick and do not smell. Their slip resistance is almost like deck shoes. **Q: How much do they weigh?** A: A little over a pound ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **5 YEAR UPDATE** Fantastic sandals once you find the correct size. *by J***B on August 23, 2019* Now that I have finally found a pair that are fit right, these sandals are great.

These flip flops have already taken repeated kids stepping on the backs of them from walking too closely and the flip flops show no damage where this exact thing has destroyed some flip flops in the past. The bottle opener on the bottom is a cool add and fun little party trick! ## Frequently Bought Together - REEF Fanning Men's Bottle Opener Flip Flop, Arch Support, Durable Outsole, Water Friendly - REEF Phantoms Men's Beach Flip Flop, Water Friendly, Soft and Supportive Molded Footbed - REEF Cushion Phantom Men's Flip Flop, Ultra Soft Cushion Footbed --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/22933935-mens-fanning-bottle-opener-flip-flops](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/22933935-mens-fanning-bottle-opener-flip-flops) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
