The fabric used on each of the intricately woven Reef Tropics has been crafted by artisans in the Mayan highlands of Guatemala. This traditional craft of ikat weaving is a centuries old technique that has been passed down from generation to generation. These shoes feature the bold colors and patterns often seen in typical Mayan wrap skirts. Through a partnership with nonprofit organization Nest, Reef is providing an opportunity for these women to create a sustainable living. These shoes change lives.

I won a pair of the multi-striped Reef flats online, and I'm in absolute love with them. They're extremely comfortable (which is hard to find these days), incredibly stylish, and perfect for the warmer weather. I plan on buying more pairs in other colors, as soon as my size becomes available again.

I was very disappointed that after two days of wearing these shoes, a hole was already worn through the back, brown heel part. The soles of the shoes look new, yet a hole already developed on the back of the shoe on one foot, and is close to starting on the other foot. Other than that, I found the shoes to be very comfortable and cute. I'm just disappointed I already have a hole in my brand new shoes. :(

Cute, love materials but uncomfortable.

Really cute shoes, great material but the fit is awkward. Overall fit is good but very uncomfortable in heel area. Wear for short periods of time hoping they loosen up in heal. Shame because they are such cute shoes.

Cute Shoe
By trippy lawyer

the seam around the toe on the top of the foot is a little stiff. with wear it will soften up. but don't plan to wear these for 8 hours without a break in time period or the top of your foot will be hurting
Love them!

Very comfortable (other than on my feet the back comes up a little high - just need to break in). Love the comfort of the foot bed, love the look. And I really appreciate that Reef is partnering with women in Guatemala. Thank you so much for that.
The most comfortable shoes ever

These are the most comfortable shoes ever. I wear them with jeans, skirts, or dress pants. Even my husband noticed them and he's never noticed my shoes.
I love these shoes!

I love these shoes. They are my every day go to shoes. They are extraordinarily comfortable. I receive comments on them every time I wear them. I love them so much I ordered an extra pair just in case...
Really comfy shoes!
By KaitieSkates
from Boston, MA
These shoes are great! I've only had them for a couple of weeks but they are great for work and just everyday. I've always loved Reef sandals so it seemed only logical that the shoes would be great. Not one blister which is a common complaint for me with flats when they are new. They also have a very comfortable sole. I wouldn't say they are the Holy Grail of shoes because my back did still hurt a little bit after a full day of work but not nearly as bad as other shoes. I think the only drawback would be that the insole is not adhered to the inside of the shoe so if your feet get sweaty, it may come out a bit and get stuck to your feet. Otherwise they are great! The black pair is great for work but also looks nice with jeans and I've found myself wearing them more often than not. I would definitely recommend these to anyone in search of good flats.

Super Cute... Not so Comfy IMHO
By Flat hater
from North Carolina
I was looking for a good pair of spring/summer shoes that I can wear for casual Fridays at the office and other occasions when I don't quite want to wear flip flops but still want to be fairly casual. I must say I have awful luck with flats, but I read so many reviews here and in magazines on how comfy these shoes are that I gave them a try. They are really cute and fun and I love how they look. But they gave me blisters on my heels. So I got some insert pad things for the back, but now they still rub the heel a bit, plus they rub my toes now cuz my foot's more pushed forward. The bottoms are cushy, but if you wear them all day even that part doesn't feel exactly right. So basically, if you generally find flats uncomfortable, these won't be any different. They are adorable though. I wish I had a friend with feet as tiny as mine so I could give them a better home.
