FAQs
What are the Reef Fanning Sandals made of?
The upper is made from a mix of premium strap materials with a soft padded jersey lining. The footbed is compression molded high rebound EVA with a built-in airbag, and the outsole is non-marking rubber.
Are these sandals suitable for swimming?
While the materials can get wet, these sandals are primarily designed for comfort and casual wear rather than swimming. They are best suited for beachside activities and walking.
How do I clean the bottle opener feature?
The bottle opener is integrated into the rubber outsole. You can clean it by wiping it with a damp cloth along with the rest of the outsole. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
Is the airbag in the footbed noticeable?
Yes, the airbag is designed to enhance comfort and shock absorption, providing a noticeable cushioned feel underfoot, especially during walking.
Can the bottle opener be removed?
No, the bottle opener is a permanent feature integrated into the outsole and cannot be removed.
What kind of support do these sandals offer?
They offer good arch support and cushioning due to the EVA footbed and airbag, suitable for casual wear and walking. They are not designed as specialized athletic support footwear.
Do these sandals come in different colors and sizes?
Yes, the Reef Fanning series is available in various color combinations and a range of adult men's sizes. Please check product listings for specific availability.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness in straps upon first wear
Wear the sandals for short periods initially to allow the premium strap materials to break in and soften.
Footbed feels slippery when wet
Ensure the footbed is dry before wearing. While the EVA offers grip, extreme wetness can reduce traction temporarily. Wipe with a towel.
Bottle opener not functioning correctly
Ensure the bottle cap is correctly positioned on the opener. The opener is designed for standard crown caps and may not work with other types of closures.
Discomfort after prolonged wear
While designed for comfort, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure you have the correct size and consider adding thin insoles if personalized cushioning is needed.
