I live in flip flops during the summer and for years have worn Reefs.  In the last couple of years, their sizing has been unpredictable at best.  Last year I ordered an 8, too small.  I returned them for a 9, too large but I  kept them.  I pulled them out of the closet a few days ago and tried them on.  Not only are they too large but the soles are rock hard!  Time to search for a new brand.  I read lots of reviews and decided to give these a try and I'm glad I did !!  Love at first fit!  As soft as everyone says and comfortable too.  I usually wear an 8 1/2, bought an 8 and the fit is perfect!  Don't change a thing and I'll be buying these for years to come!

I've  been tninking about sizing.  If you are a true half size, you have to decide whether you are closer to the smaller or the larger.  I'm  an 8 1/2, but I'm  closer to an 8 than a 9.  The 9 is just too large.  I went for the 8 and am satisfied.  BUT wouldn't  it be nice if these came in half sizes so we wouldn't  have to agonize over it!
