Detailed Review
The Reef Women's Ortho Woven Sandal stands out for its dedication to comfort without sacrificing style. With its synthetic nubuck upper, this sandal is not only durable but also highly versatile—perfect for transitioning from the beach to casual outings. One standout feature is the immediate comfort level; many users report no discomfort or need for a break-in period.
When it comes to traction, the Swellular technology used in these sandals ensures that you're stable, whether you're walking on dry sand or navigating wet poolside areas. This makes them an excellent choice for those spontaneous beach days or summer gatherings.
However, while they excel in many areas, it's worth noting that if you're planning extensive hiking trips, you might find these sandals lacking in the necessary support compared to more rugged alternatives. Additionally, wider feet may encounter some sizing limitations.
Overall, the Reef Women's Ortho Woven Sandal is a fantastic option for anyone looking to embrace a relaxed beach lifestyle while keeping comfort at the forefront.

User Reviews
If you like to wear slippahs but have high arches, this Reef line is the best value with arch support. Sometimes they go on sale and I buy extra. The wide straps are soft and comfortable. Highly recommended.
I love the comfort of these flip flops. I've bought a couple of pairs to keep on hand if they ever stop making them. My one complaint is that I washed them in the washer as I've done with many other Reef sandals in the past. These ended up with a big cut on the back heel because of it so that area has deflated a bit and you can see the torn material. Not sure if they're made with layers and the abrasion just tore the top layer or what. But for all the Reef's I've had for 20 years, I've never had that happen. Regardless, they're I love the pattern and they are ridiculously comfortable.
Great support and I like the black soles because, truth is, I put them through a lot: walking over gravel drive, trips through wet grass over to the garden- my feet can get grassy and dirty. I take a wet brush to the soles and they clean right up. That said, I decided to get this pair for less taxing environments. True to size.
My favorite sandal for summer. Offers support and comfort along with style!
Out of three different styles/brands of orthopedic filp flop I ordered I ended up keeping these Reefs. They had the most support/comfortable footbed. They’re a joy to put in after a long day of working on my feet. They look pretty cute too and couple potentially be paired with more dressy outfits. The only downside to these shoes is that the pattern on the cloth part of the flip flop up top makes the underside a bit rough on the top of your foot. I don’t know how that would feel after a longer amount of wear as I’ve only worn them around the house so far. I should also mention I’m normally a 7/7.5 in womens shoes but sized up to an 8 and they just barely fit so I’m assuming they run a bit small.
Love these flip flops, I wear them for the arch support. Highly recommend.
Typically I buy a Medium width shoe…although my feet can need wide in some styles, I am typically OK with regular shoes. So I am somewhere close to regular but slightly wide, on the spectrum of foot dimensions. These flip flops are one of those exceptions to me wearing Regular. The width is so tight I couldn’t do it… it felt like my feet would be touching the edge to possibly rolling off the edge, and I am not OK with that. Being returned.
I ordered an amazon try on box with a bunch of different sandals. I was replacing very old Rainbow sandals and wanted to try something different. I have high arches. These sandals took some getting used to because that arch is really up there, but they are super comfortable now and help my feet relax
