Reef Men''s Leather Marbea Thong Sandal

It was probably about 8 years ago. I was at the beach and my flip flops broke. Few things are worse. You don''t want to be the kid wearing shoes on the beach, but you also don''t want to wonder the boardwalk in some cheap crap flip flops that will fall apart and/or hurt your feet. So I went in search of the perfect pair of flip flops a daunting task.

And I came up with a pair of Reefs. They were, by far, the most comfortable and durable flip flops that I had ever owned. On top of that, they were super stylish and I constantly got compliments on them.

Fast forward a few years and I''m on my sixth pair. For 8 years, 6 pairs of flip flops is incredible, especially considering that only my first pair was decommissioned due to breaking. Of the other pairs I''ve had, I have a black pair for casual wear, a dark brown pair for casual wear, a dark brown pair that has been demoted to use while rock climbing (worn between climbs), another that was trashed from climbing, and this new pair.

Now these aren''t my favorite pair that I''ve owned. They look real great and feel great, but have an inherent flaw that I''ve seen on a few others as well, hence the 4/5 stars. The one thing that I absolutely hate about these is that the leather is super absorbent. That means that if my feet sweat, which they do, it''s all soaked up in the leather and, after a while, will start to smell. That''s why a few pairs have been demoted to climbing use. A few of my older pairs had treated leather that was a lot more resilient, but it looks like most of those are a lot more expensive now.

It''s also good to note that these do not fit true to size. I''m usually a 9 ½ 10, but find that an 11 in Reefs fit perfectly. It would be best if you already knew how they fit you.

I''ve recommended these to tons of friends over the years. Those that have gotten a pair for themselves keep going back. And I''ll keep recommending them. They fit great, feel great, and look great. There''s not much that beats walking around on sunny day with a new pair of Reefs...

I was looking to replace my Rainbow brand sandals as they wore out and I have had the Reefs before (just never their leather ones).These took about 2 walks with my dog to break in (about 1-2 miles each walk).They were never uncomfortable but a huge difference is seen when broken in.Overall these are a great value for what you are getting.They fit true to size (I wear a 9 1/2 and ordered the nine as there weren''t half sizes and they fit well, better than going a size up would have).They are comfortable and look good with jeans and shorts.Not disappointed at all with these.Now it is just time to see how long these last.

These flip flops look great and seem to be well made, plus the price is right. My only complaint is the sizing. I bought a size 10 but it fits like a size 9, thank goodness I''m actually a 9 1/2.

My husband says he likes them. For a guy who never wore flip-flops before, that says a lot. I think they look good. The quality seems to be holding up well. The hubby says they are comfortable even though he has to get use to the strap between his toes.
