Fit Information (Based on 999 reviews )

What Customers Say
Customers say these sneakers are comfortable and stylish, working well for both casual and dressier occasions. Many appreciate the slip-on design and versatility—pairing them with shorts, jeans, dresses, and work outfits. Common feedback highlights the attractive appearance, lightweight feel, and no break-in time needed. However, fit varies significantly: some find them true to size, while others report the toe box runs narrow or tight across the instep. A few note they feel stiff initially or wish for more arch support. Most repeat purchasers rave about comfort for extended walking, though some experienced blisters or discomfort during longer wear.

    Love these! They are so cute and comfy!! I usually wear a size 8.5, and they were out, so I sized up and the 9's were perfect. The cork insole is a fabulous shock absorber when walking a lot. Reef make the best flip flops, but apparently their sneakers are 10/10 too!!

    My dawn was disappointing

    I do love this style shoe and really wanted it to be my new go to sneaker but sadly they will not be for several reasons. I went up a 1/2 size and they were still too small. Seems to run a but narrow too. Also, they were not easy to get into, and I suppose I've become spoiled with step in styles, and perhaps they'd go on easier if a half size bigger. Also find these shoes quite heavy. I really would love to try a size 9 but to do that I must pay $8 to return them. Then reorder and take the risk, and another $8 loss, just to see. Think not at this point. If Reef would waive the fees I would consider for sure!
