FAQs
Are the Reef Fanning sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Fanning sandals generally offer a standard fit. While the synthetic upper has some give, individuals with very wide feet might find them snug initially. Wearing them consistently will help them mold to your foot shape.
Can I wear these sandals in saltwater?
Yes, the Fanning sandals are designed to be water-friendly. However, it's recommended to rinse them with fresh water after exposure to saltwater and allow them to air dry to maintain their condition.
How durable is the built-in bottle opener?
The bottle opener is integrated into the sole and designed for durability. However, excessive or improper force could potentially damage it. It's best used for its intended purpose.
What is the heel height?
The Reef Fanning sandals have a flat heel height, providing a comfortable and stable base.
How should I clean the synthetic nubuck upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth. Always allow the sandals to air dry.
What material is the footbed made of?
The footbed is constructed from compression-molded EVA, which provides high-rebound cushioning and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight
Synthetic materials can take a short time to break in. Wear them for short periods initially to allow them to mold to your feet.
Footbed feels slippery when wet
The EVA footbed offers grip, but extreme wetness can reduce traction. Dry the footbed with a towel when possible.
Bottle opener is difficult to use
Ensure the bottle cap is properly positioned on the opener. If resistance is felt, check for obstructions.
Discoloration of the upper material
Exposure to prolonged direct sunlight or certain chemicals can cause fading. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
