FAQs
Are Reef Sandy flip-flops fully waterproof?
The Reef Sandy flip-flops are designed to be 'water-friendly' with a synthetic nubuck and leather combination upper, meaning they can handle splashes and brief exposure to water and dry relatively quickly. However, they are not designed to be fully waterproof for prolonged submersion like specialized water shoes.
How do I determine my size?
This specific pair is UK Size 3. Reef flip-flops generally run true to size. If you are between sizes, consider reviewing customer feedback or trying them on if possible. Always refer to the UK sizing standard for this product.
Can I wash my Reef Sandy flip-flops in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials, especially the leather components and adhesives. Please follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.
Do these flip-flops offer good arch support for long walks?
Yes, Reef Sandy flip-flops feature anatomical arch support for enhanced comfort. They are suitable for casual long walks and daily wear, but for very strenuous activities or extended periods of demanding walking, specialized athletic footwear might be more appropriate.
What does 'no break-in period' mean?
The 'no break-in period' means that the flip-flops are designed to be comfortable and fit well from the very first time you wear them, without needing a period of adjustment for the materials to soften or conform to your foot.
What materials are the straps made from?
The upper part of the flip-flops features a combination of synthetic nubuck and leather, while the straps themselves are made of a soft woven material designed for comfort.
Are these flip-flops suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, with their anatomical arch support and comfortable design, Reef Sandy flip-flops are engineered for all-day casual wear, allowing you to stay comfortable whether you're at the beach or running errands.
Troubleshooting
Flip-flops feel slippery when feet are sweaty or wet.
Ensure your feet are dry before wearing. The footbed can be cleaned regularly with mild soap and water to remove oils and residues that contribute to slipperiness. Allow to air dry completely.
Straps feel too tight or loose initially.
The soft woven straps are designed to conform to your foot over a short period. If they feel slightly snug, wear them for short intervals initially. If too loose, confirm you have the correct size. The straps are not adjustable.
An unpleasant odor develops in the footbed.
Odors can result from sweat and bacteria. Regularly clean the footbed with a mild anti-bacterial soap and water. Ensure the flip-flops are fully air-dried after cleaning or getting wet, as moisture contributes to odor.
Discomfort or rubbing on the top of the foot after extended wear.
While designed for comfort and without a break-in period, individual foot shapes and walking styles vary. Ensure the flip-flops are the correct size. If discomfort persists, try alternating with other footwear or reducing continuous wear time. Inspect straps for any debris or rough spots.
