I don't know if these count as flip-flops since they don't have the toe-thong, but I bought 3 pairs because they friggin rule:

Just a word of warning - If you happen to step in dog doo, it's a BITCH to get it out of the opener. Other than that they are the most comfortable flip flop I've worn.

Fair warning, thanks. I suppose the same applies for mud which I'd probably step in before crap. Although, it's not quite as disgusting.

Best thing when you are sailing!

I'm not a flip flop guy myself, but I don't care what anyone else wears. I mean to each his own, but anyone that wears these while sailing is just to stupid to ever set foot on a boat.

I've been sailing for over 30 years, and I'm surprised that any experienced sailor would allow someone to wear flip flops on his boat, much less do it himself. It's just dangerous in my opinion. But I guess I was overly harsh in my previous post. Apologies. I'm feeling old and grouchy today.

edit: By the way, what kind of sailing do you do, and what kind of boats have you got?

Reef's and other slippers are +EV - especially when in Hawaii (like I am now)

In Hawaii they are called slippers. Nuff said.

I love mine in the summer because of one thing, they have a bottle opener on the bottom of each shoe. Best thing when you are sailing!

I opened this thread intending to post about these if they hadn't been already. Living in a colder climate I wear mine basically from May-September exclusively unless I am going somewhere where footwear matters. Thankfully I make my money from a certain game that some people play and this means there are few times where sandals are not appropriate footwear for me in nice weather. Once its below 50 or so, its back to sneakers and then boots in the snow, but I am always waiting for that time of year when I can wear my Reefs. So comfortable and so practical with the bottle-opener.
