The positive reviews must be from very old purchases. I'm usually a 7.5 but I always buy size 8 for these Reef Ginger flip flops. These are the only brand and model flip flops that fit my foot properly and are comfortable enough for all day walking.  I was so happy to find a replacement pair from Amazon and didn't hesitate to trust the quality but these just don't seem like the real deal. The straps are way too loose and the bottom is so slippery! Not the same material as my current Ginger flip flops. I feel like I'd constantly have to grip them with my toes while walking and I definitely can't risk slipping and falling while holding my baby. The arch normally fits my foot perfectly but this one is off and closer to the ball of my foot. My feet are on the narrow side but they almost fall off the sides and back of this pair. I'm so disappointed I won't have a new pair for my vacation and will have to find time to return to UPS but I did get a refund.  I'll stick to searching for them at Nordstrom's or the local surf shops. Hope this helps fellow Reef Ginger lovers!
