My husband has ONLY worn Reef flip-flops for years and recently we've seen a major decrease in quality. He always has about 10 black pairs at a time and rotates the wear, but even that doesn't suffice now. The sole seems to wear  SUPER FAST now and turns into a chip shape and today, he went to put on a fairly new pair (only about 5 mos.) and the thong between toe pulled right out of the sole! Useless! We will now be switching to a different brand. :(
