I have been wearing nothing but REEF sandals in the summer for over 30 years.  I find that they are the best made, longest wearing, most comfortable sandals I've ever owned, and I have had many different styles throughout the years. I liked all of them.  My first pair lasted 20 years, until there was absolutely nothing left between my feet and the pavement and I had to grudgingly get rid of them.

Since then, I have had platforms, wedges, pink camo, all sorts of them.  My masseuse was wearing a pair of the "Slap" ones, and when I tried them on, I thought I had died and gone to sandal heaven.  They are like having little pillows on your feet. (Well, maybe not quite THAT soft, but still..).  She is on her feet for at least 8 hours a day and wouldn't think of wearing anything else. I can see why.  I bought the Lucia and Slap models, and have been on a quest to snap up any others I can find since they don't make them anymore.  They are wonderful.  And like all other Reef products, very well made.

The only downside is that with the white ones, they show dirt pretty quickly.  My solution is just to stick them into some dishwater, soak them for a bit, and scrub them with a little nail scrubber.  Anything with bristles will work.  It just takes a few minutes, and a little while longer to dry.  I guess you can also throw them in the washer, but they clean up better if you take the time to put a little elbow grease into scrubbing them yourself.

Reef stuff is never cheap, but you get what you pay for.  If you want a good quality product that will last at least several seasons, this is it.  If you know what particular style you want, and can take a few minutes on the internet to do a search, there are a number of places that will sometimes have them on sale.  It helps if you know the particular style you want.  And for those who have never tried reef sandals, just be aware that there are many different degrees of comfort depending on the model.  Some don't have any "soft cushioning" at all, and some are really nice and soft when you walk on them.  So it's kind of a trial and error thing depending on the squishiness level you want.  But again,they are all well made and will last forever. (almost)
