FAQs
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of synthetic nubuck, offering a premium look and feel.
Does the footbed have arch support?
The footbed is compression-moulded EVA with a built-in airbag for cushioning, providing a contoured shape for comfort but not specific orthopedic arch support.
How do I clean the bottle opener?
The bottle opener is integrated into the rubber outsole. You can clean it by rinsing with water and brushing away any debris along with the rest of the outsole.
Are these suitable for swimming or water sports?
These flip flops are water-friendly and suitable for casual use around water, but they are not designed for high-impact water sports or prolonged submersion.
What is the main benefit of the airbag in the footbed?
The airbag in the heel of the footbed is designed to enhance shock absorption, providing extra cushioning and comfort during wear.
Can I wear these for a full day of walking?
Yes, the cushioning from the EVA footbed and airbag makes them comfortable for extended wear and walking, suitable for casual day-long use.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, the Reef Fanning series comes in various colorways. Please check the product listings for available options.
Troubleshooting
Flip flops feel stiff initially
The synthetic nubuck upper and EVA footbed may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and they should soften with use.
Slight squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new EVA materials. It may resolve on its own with further wear, or a small amount of talcum powder applied to the footbed might help.
Footbed feels slippery when wet
While the outsole offers grip, the EVA footbed can become slick when saturated. Ensure feet are dried before wearing, and walk with care on very wet surfaces.
Bottle opener is difficult to use
The bottle opener is designed for standard bottle caps. Ensure the cap is positioned correctly within the opener on the outsole for best leverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These flip flops require no setup. Simply take them out of the packaging and wear them. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility: Designed for general casual wear, they are compatible with most casual attire. They are suitable for use in environments where flip flops are appropriate, such as beaches, pools, and casual social settings. Not recommended for athletic activities or rugged terrain.
Care: To clean, wipe the synthetic nubuck upper and EVA footbed with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. For the rubber outsole, rinse with water and brush away any debris. While the materials are durable, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme heat can degrade them.
