Anchor Mens Sandal

These sandals exceeded my expectations. I’m not gonna lie, I love the air pocket look at the heel, super unique, looks like Nikes. I was at first skeptical because some of the reviews said they weren’t as comfortable but the brown ones were discounted so I made the plunge and bought em. I have no idea what people are talking about, these are awesome. Snug fit, thick straps, comfy, look sporty and they even make that “sketch” sound when pivoting. I’ve never had any sandals that did that, so the traction is legit. One more thing, the sole is grippy so your feet aren’t sliding around. Super snug feeling. I live close to Tahoe where mountains and some rough terrain can lead down to beaches. My old pair did horrible in this, but these will most undoubtedly do the job.

I've worn Reef fannings (with the bottle opener) for at least 10 years, and I wear flip flops every day, almost all day or all day, year-round. I've always been happy with the Reefs and they've been reasonably durable, and I would plan on needing a new pair every 10 months or so (again, daily use, all-day). I decided to try these anchors for the first time recently. For one thing, I'm thankful not to have the bottle openers (who drinks out of bottles any more anyways?), which for me exclusively served to trap gum or dog crap, when so unfortunate. Also, I'm struck by how much softer, flexible and comfortable they are. While my fannings felt hard and sort of slapped and cracked their way up and down my wood stairways, the anchors feel more like an extension of my foot and much more quiet and responsive. Prior to wearing Reefs, I tried most of the other popular brands of flip flops, and I'll say that these anchors are the most comfortable that I've owned and are perfect for my foot type (wide, somewhat flat, so the arch support and heel cradle are perfect). I can't speak to the durability yet, but I have to imagine that they'll be at least as good as the fannings, which were consistent in being comfortable and holding up for around 10 months of daily use, until the straps start to loosen and the connector to the footbed eventually breaks, if you decide to wear them that long. You know it's going to happen well-before it does, as they just start to get looser and looser after a certain point. Also, in the last pair of fannings I bought, the clear casing around the air cushions in the heel cracked all around. At times they made a squeaking sounds as the cracked plastic rubbed when I stepped, and I had to cut out pieces and least 2 times to make it stop making noises. Otherwise, I've had good experiences with my Reefs, especially with the way they fit my feet. These anchors make me realize that the fannings weren't particularly comfortable, as they are very hard feeling compared to these anchors. I'm very happy with the purchase, and imagine that I will purchase these going forward.

OMG, I am in love with these Reef Anchor flip-flops. A little backstory: I am an ocean guy; a scuba diver; a former ocean lifeguard. For years, my go-to flippies were Reef Twinpins - you know, the ones with the super comfortable, squishy footbed. Then one day, I was in Nassau, Bahamas and after it rained my old Twinpins failed me on some wet marble steps, and I slipped … all the way to the bottom. So I switched flip flops to a brand made by a famous boat shoe maker, because they had anti-slip soles. They were fine, but even after I broke them in they were heavy, and never as comfortable as my Reefs. In fact, I kicked them off to walk the beach in Costa Rica, only to find myself in downtown Tamarindo one day with no shoes. So I ducked into a local shop and came out with another pair of … you guessed it, Twinpins. Bliss. Fast forward to recently, and those Costa Rican Reef flippies were worn flat on the bottom. I decided to try to find the comfort of the Twinpins and the grippy bottom of the other brand, and these Anchors are it. They are supremely comfortable. The textured footbed is like a foot massage. The arch sits right where it is supposed to, and take it from someone with a ruptured disc in my back, the air cushion in the heels do their job. So far, the soles are nice and grippy on boat decks and wet surfaces. Oh, and they don’t make a loud “Flip-flop” sound, because they fit your feet so well. Take it from me - my license plate used to say, “FLPFLPZ,” the Reef Anchors are winners, and affordable, too.

Great shoes but had to return due to sizing issue, upset because they don’t offer a size 14 to try out, husband said they were extremely comfortable but obviously the size being off, they wouldn’t work.

Really great sandals with excellent art support. These are very comfortable and very well made. My third pair of Reef's and my favorite so far...

These are very comfortable footwear. The strap over the foot is nicely cushioned and the piece between the toes is soft and flexible. The sole is grippy and you can feel the cushioning on the heel. They do seem a bit small, maybe ½ a size smaller than they should be. I would buy them again.

Reef flip flops are more expensive than some other brands, but they are made with real rubber and will not slip in wet conditions. They are also comfortable, durable, and hold up extremely well. I tried to go cheaper with a different brand and I got a pair of junk… These are great quality. These were a little tight around the top of my foot at first but after I wore them twice they were perfectly adjusted to my feet and broke in.

Great flip flops overall! They are sturdy, really comfy, thick enough to not feel anything on the floor. What I like the most is the fact that they don’t slip when wet. I had some that were slipping when wet and it was a real hazard for my ankles! And I like the bubble that gives a nice style to them. I recommend!
