I LOVE REEFS! I wear them all the time since 8th grade. I think it they are really big in coastal areas, everyone in Southern California wears them. My pair I wear nearly everyday is over 2 years old and have been all over with me from Hawaii to Europe; ahh the stories they could tell! I can't give them up and they are so easy to slip on in the morning before class. Really great shoes for only 30 dollars. As you can see, I love my reefs and have 4 pairs currently all in different styles!
