I have owned many Reef flip-flops. I wear them most days, except when my feet are cold. Since I do most chores in them, I need a pair that fit very snugly. These have been a great pair since the banding has a substantial width and therefore they don't slip off my feet. Any flip-flop is going to stretch over time but these have maintained a good shape since purchasing them this past August. I consider the sizing to be quite true. I wear a size 8 to 8 1/2 and I purchased a size 8. They have a nice squishy sole which is what I prefer. I do not wear this pair outdoors as I don't want them to get nicked up. I have mostly hardwood and tile floors and I find that these don't cause any foot pain. I wear them even when I use a ladder. I really enjoy purchasing on Amazon since the selection is so much greater than the department stores. I would recommend these for home use and running errands only. I do not feel that they would be suitable for outdoor activities on uneven surfaces such as rocky terrain as they would quickly decompress.
