Just looked at them, and I dunno they look like sandals.

I think I am in the minority, but I don't like the sandals with the thing that goes between the toe. I am wearing a pair of AE sandals right now that cosists of 2 buckles going over the top of my foot, which is much more comfortable imo.


Edit: they look like these

The made the best flip flops - I have 6 pairs. I'm also digging American Eagle's flip flops - the more expensive ones are quality.

I have a pair of Rainbows, while they're nice, they were very expesive.

I have two pairs of Reefs' :) walked one ragged, breaking in the other.

Those AE sandal's uglacasanova posted seem pretty good too, but i usually buy my reefs with my REI membership/dividend.

Reef Fanning's are superior to all sandals. Why? not because of comfort, design, druability, fashion, materials, aesthetics, etc...there's only 1 reason....
They have bottle openers built in.

I've been wearing a pair of AE leather flip-flops for more than a year now. They are quality.

I love Reef sandals. The quick release is so much better than the velcro on most other sandals. The only downside is the sole wears through quickly, but the price makes up for that.

Ya I have a pair of REEF flip flops. They're pretty nice but nothing beats my TEVA flip flops. I wore those suckers for 3 years. Had to repair the part that goes between your toes a few times. Had to finally retire them this year and got me some REEFs :(.

Rainbow sandals are my favorites, as they are also the most popular casual flip flops in so cal. I like the fit, the feel, and the durability. Plus, there's a lifetime warranty on the straps.

that's just over the top. if you need to take off your footwear to crack open a beer, sorry, you don't deserve it.

I started liking them less a few years back when they de-emphaized the reef girls in thier ads and started actually showing footwear in them.

I bought a pair of Reef sandals in Hawaii about 3 years ago. They've held up great and are incredibly comfortable.
