Comfortable and fun but watch out

I bought a pair of these sandals in February 2005 and am still wearing them. Like any sandal they are fun and easy to wear. Just recently I've noticed that the front part of the soles has worn down and they are smooth now. Also the foam bed has started to crack in several places but for the price I'd say I've gotten reasonable use out of them.



The bottle opener is a great conversation piece. Also rest assured they do hold up to wear and tear. I was skeptical when I bought these how long they'd stay intact but I can attest that they are still in and functional... kinda mangled but still intact and functioning.



Also if you think you're just gonna swing your leg up and crack open a beer like Mr. Joe Cool then think again. I remember when I first got these I was at a backyard house party while in San Diego. I was flirting with these two girls talkin' my game and trying to be smooth. So I grab another beer and while talking to them I lift my foot and try to crack the bottle open. Well between trying to keep my balance and get the lip of the cap in the opener I apparently shook it up a bit. When I finally did open it the resulting explosion of foam shot all over me and the two girls. Not cool.



I would suggest taking the sandal off to use the bottle opener feature.



All and all a great shoe. Fun and easy to wear.



Another tip: Make sure you wash these every so often! Stick 'em in the washing machine. I neglected to do this and developed a nasty case of athlete's foot from them. Just a heads up. Enjoy!More detail ...

Hip pain be gone!

After spending all summer in my Chaco sandals I decided it was time to invest in some Chaco shoes. I bought the Redrock sneaker and I am very pleased with them. The combination of the high arch and heel cup are the hallmarks of the Chaco footbed. They're even approved by my chiropractor... my bum hip doesn't bother me after a day wearing these shoes. It might be off-putting to some that you're able to actually feel the arch support pressing into your foot but it does help to turn your feet into a more stable position rolling them outward to balance the weight more evenly. I'm holding back the fifth star because the laces manage to come undone no matter how many knots I put in them but otherwise a solid investment overall. I would recommend these shoes to anyone who suffers from foot knee hip or lower back pain or to someone who is looking for a solid walking/hiking shoe.More detail ...

Great Sandals

Well made solid pair of sandals. Looks great and feels good on the feet. I suggest that you buy a half size bigger than your fit in Kenneth Cole shoes. I wear 9.5 in shoes and the size 10 sandals were just the right fit.More detail ...

Terribly Uncomfortable

They look great and standing still they are very comfortable. However when you walk around for a while the thong part between the toes becomes unbarable. I can't even wear these but they were so cheap it wasn't worth sending back! Bummer!More detail ...

*Comfortable* **Flip-Flip** But Requires Break-In!

I bought the SOLE MEN'S PLATINUM FLIP-FLOPS because I read rave reviews on another website about how great they were. That site was sold out as was SOLE'S website and so trusty Amazon to the rescue. They had them in stock and in my size and so I got 'em.



First off the flip-flops are super light. They hardly weigh anything but they seem quite durable and they look pretty good too except the front of the flip-flop seems to have this extra room jutting out from my toes. Maybe this is for added protection for the toes I'm not sure but my foot is as far as it will go in the strap and yet there's plenty of flip-flop to go which is in front of my toes.



The insole foot-bed has a really good arch-support and cradles the foot which is good for me because I have flat feet. It also feels like stepping on a nice cushion with each step.



I did have to wear them for a little while for the first couple of days that I had them because the microfiber(?) strap felt uncomfortable against my skin. So break them in first before you wear them for extended periods of time or else you might get blisters or irritation from the strap.



Now that they're broken in they feel much better. Anyway these SOLE FLIP-FLOPS offer really good arch support for a flip-flop (the other being is Chaco Flip Sandal for Men but those are heavier) so I would recommend them if you're looking for a sandal that has a good insole for problem feet.



UPDATE: 08/26/09

I just got back from a 6-day vacation in Hawaii and the SOLE FLIP-FLOPS performed great! I used them on the beach and after snorkeling walking in the water to get up close to sea turtles to walking around Waikiki at night and my feet never got sore or tired. And they still look good as new!More detail ...

What a great idea!

I bought these for my husband and he loves them! They seem to run true to size. They have a pocket in the sole that lets you carry keys and a license/credit card. Great for the beach/lake when you don't want to carry a wallet.More detail ...

This is a minor miracle!

Doctors ought to recommend this product! For the first time in 10+ years I know now what it is walk around without pain! The arch support is where this is unlike anything I've worn. I suffer from a very painful flat foot and this actually "massages" the arch when I walk if you know what I mean. There is *very* good cushioning all over so the feet experience no impact at all. I do use custom orthotics but that doesn't help when I'm just walking around the house. Still the difference the orthotics made is in fact incomparable to this minor miracle! I'm sure there are countless others out there who could use this so please spread the word!



Just for accuracy I bought it directly off Footsmart's website.More detail ...

Very comfortable flip flops

By far these are the most comfortable flip flops I've ever worn. The arch support feels very good and my heel doesn't roll or slide at all. The padding is not too squishy and not too hard. They also look relatively cool and casual like the ones I'd buy at surf shops though perhaps not quite that cool. They are stylish without being too formal or fancy.



My pair size 12 seems about 1/2 a size smaller than that but I anticipated this based on reviews elsewhere. I normally wear 11.5 and these 12s fit great. I'd gladly pay retail ($50) for these but look for deals. I found them for $32 with shipping.



I've had plantar fasciitis for 7 years (a fallen arch and heel pain). As a result I can't walk barefoot for more than 5 minutes without developing heel pain. When I am not at work and sometimes when I am I constantly wear running shoes with added arch support. These flips with nothing added feel just as good on my bad foot as a running shoe with added support. My toes can get sun again!



They claim with reason to be environmentally friendly. I don't know if average flip flops contribute to global warming so I'll just take Chaco's word for it.More detail ...

Heel pain ends here!

I have been fighting heel pain for several months. My doctor said not to go barefoot even at home...so I found these sandals to primarily wear at home. It took a couple of days to "wear them in". I wore them several hours the first few days and now can wear them all day. They have great arch support so it controls my overpronation. These sandals are now my "shoe of choice" home or away!More detail ...

Ultra comfortable and durable

I have gone through about 6 six pairs of the previous Fanning signature sandal by Reef. The new version 02 is a big step up. The biggest change the "air bubble" that runs the entire length of the footbed. It makes the sandal super comfortable almost like a running shoe sole without the upper. The signature of the Fanning is the church key bottle opener...a must like sunglasses and shorts on the beach. I love these.More detail ...

my fannings

very comfortable flip-flops. great for all day wearing. these are my second pair. i wore these all day for 6 days in Savannah Ga. I've worn them to the beach in the water in a friends pool. they can take it and still look good.i still wear my first pair around the house or for shooting to the store. I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of the can-opener on the bottom. It works ok. Depending on where you have been walking though i wouldn't want that stuff near my beer.More detail ...

Reef Sandals

Best sandals i've ever owned in my life. Reef makes top notch sandals the last pair I had lasted over eight years. I had to buy a new pair because they literally rotted of my feet. They lasted all through the time I was a lifeguard deployed to the Middel East and just everyday wear and tear. This new pair feels better fits great and just all around meets the expectaions I have of Reef and its products.More detail ...

Rainbow Sandals

I ordered a pair of mens Rainbows for my son. They seem to fit true to size. He wears a 10 1/2 Mens shoe and the Large fit him fine. They should fit a little snug in the beginning. Being leather they will soon mold to fit your foot. He loves them and says they are the best flip flops he has ever worn.More detail ...
