I am now on my third pair of Reef''s J-Bay thongs. I wear them everyday, I think they are great. I have a couple of reservations however that I think you should know about. The footpad is made of some composite leather and tends to wear and crack at the heal. This area also tends to compress. There is a good arch support built in. This being said that my first pair was so admired they were stolen while in the hospital. I liked them so much I bought a second pair (to replace the stolen ones) to wear everyday around the house, lawn and the boat; a third pair for when I travel to town. Enjoy!
I ordered these thinking that I would have a very high end sandal.
It was a very good sandal for sure, very well made and nice looking. But it does not last longer than the others, or maybe even deteriorates quicker because of the treated leather under your feet which loses its color and nice texture with your sweat faster than its plastic equivalent.
I had them for a year, wearing them once a week and I think that I will be able to keep them another year but probably not more.
Don''t put sand on them though, it rips off the leather when you walk with them.

I have also been wearing a variety of Reef sandals for years and years.Most notably the Fannings, of which I have owned ten pairs and find them to be the best rubber sandal on the market.For the last two years I was wearing a leather sandal called the Cobain Lonestar, and really really loved them.They were Super comfy and stylish, but were literally falling apart.After being in a leather sandal for 2 years,I had a hard time going back to a rubber one, unless I was going to the beach or lake.
I found the J-Bay and tried them on at a store, but they were $75!!Amazon carried them for only $45, so I ordered a pair.I kid you not I ordered my pair on thursday afternoon with a 2 day shipping option,and they arrived Friday at noon.the next day!I couldnt believe it.Anyhow,the sandals are amazing.They are cut to hug your foot like the sole of a shoe, which means you don''t have to grip your toes when walking like you do in a ''floppier'' sandal.Also the bottom of the soles are rubber and leave you feeling very solid.The leather is all very nice, and after only 3 days of wearing them I am in Love with them.I can only imagine how well they will continue molding to my feet.
I wear a 12, and they feel true to size.If you have a super wide foot, this sandal may be a bit too snug for you, and they are pretty slim.

These flip flops are actually really nice looking and very comfortable.I sent them back once because they looked darker in the picture than they actually were.After I sent them back I regretted it and actually re-bought them the next day. They felt real nice on the feet with moderate arch support. I recommend that you buy one (1) size up from your shoe size because they do run small. The materials are premium and the price is amazing on amazon (you can''t find them for under $75.00 anywhere else). I highly recommend but take into account that they are lighter in person than pictured.Great sandal.

Overall I have always been satisfied with Reef sandals, however these do not seem to be as comfortable as others I have owned.I hate to say it, but if you are going to spend the money I would buy Rainbows.If the sandals get more comfortable over time I will revisit my review and let everyone know that sandals have improved.
If you''ve not ever owned a pair of Volatile sandals or flip-flops, you must try a pair. As a school teacher who is on my feet all day long, I cannot tolerate anything but Volatile shoes.These are like walking on clouds as are most of the other styles I own. The prices tend to be reasonable and believe me, they are worth every penny and then some for the comfort they provide! I have this style in gold, silver, and bronze and they go with everything.
