I normally wear a 12 wide shoe, 12.5 wide in running shoes; my foot is reasonably wide & tall.I tried both the 12 and 13 in this Reef sandal. With the 12, I couldn't even get my foot under the thong.The 13 was better, but the strap still felt fairly tight on the outside. I otherwise liked the construction of the sandal, so I took the chance that it would loosen up a bit when broken in, and kept the 13.Unfortunately, things didn't improve after several days of wear. However, because the sandal looked very sturdy, I took a risk on modifying it to improve the fit. Both ends of the strap have a "Y" shape that connect to the sole at two separate points, each about an inch in length. Since the tightness in mine was around the outside/front of the sandal, I used a utility knife to cut the outside front connection of the "Y" to the sole (a single cut as close as I could get to the rubber, so it would be less obvious), leaving just the back connection intact. At a glance, you can't even tell it has been modified, and as I hoped, the construction is sturdy enough that I've had no trouble at all with only half the connection on that side.This freed up a ton of space for me, and the sandal fits very well now - snug, not too tight, and I have walked many miles since with no issues of rubbing, blistering, etc. The padding is excellent, and it is very comfortable as an everyday sandal. Would buy and mod again.
Well made shoe that even out of the package is very comfortable. Lightweight and affordable as well .
These are not as comfy (a bit stiff on the upper part) as my original pair, which broke at the lake after two years of use. But they look decent and seem sturdy enough. Let’s see how many boat launches I can get before this pair falls apart! LOL!
The most comfortable jandal I've worn. I've been wearing them on my hard floors and the entire lower half off my body felt good. One improvement that could be made: the logo cut into the heel compromises comfort slightly (I can feel it there) and could be removed, but this is a minor thing.
Update 11/25/24 - It has now been over 6 years and both the Rover and Fanning are still going strong. The Rover is my hands down winner (Who needs a bottle opener covered in gum and dog poop). I wear them a lot (90% more than the Fannings) and they are showing no signs of breaking down. Still comfortable and secure fitting.I purchased two pairs of Reef Flops - Rover and Fanning. Both fit great. Of the two I like the Rover better because it have much more cushion than the Fanning. The Rover also fits a little more snug than the Fanning - which I like. The Fanning however seems to be a bit more durable than the rover but this remains to be seen as I have only had them for a month now. I previously owned a pair of Fannings and they lasted well over 5 years (maybe more, I don't remember) of constant use until the toe strap finally broke. The Fannings also have a bottle opener built into the bottom, something I just noticed with the new pair. If only I would have known that earlier.All in all they are both great flip flops. I think the Rover is more comfortable to walk in but we will have to wait and see how durable they are.
