FAQs
Are these flip flops suitable for wide feet?
The Reef Sandy features a mid-width design. For individuals with particularly wide feet, it's recommended to try them on or consult a detailed sizing guide to ensure a comfortable fit. They may not provide ample room for very wide feet.
Can I wear these in saltwater and freshwater?
Yes, the Reef Sandy flip flops are designed to be water-friendly and can withstand both saltwater and freshwater exposure. However, it's always best practice to rinse them with fresh water after use in the ocean or chlorine to prolong their life.
Do they offer arch support?
As a classic thong-style flip flop, the Reef Sandy provides basic comfort and cushioning. It does not feature significant anatomical arch support. For specific arch support needs, you may need to consider footwear designed with orthotic features.
What is the strap material?
The strap is made from a durable combination of synthetic nubuck and leather for the outer part, with a soft, woven polyester lining on the inside to ensure comfort against your skin.
How do I choose the correct size?
We generally recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. If you are typically between sizes, it is often advisable to size up for flip flops to ensure adequate footbed length and overall comfort.
Are these flip flops non-slip?
The brushed EVA footbed is specifically designed to enhance traction, offering a degree of slip resistance on most common surfaces. However, like all footwear, caution should always be exercised on extremely wet, slick, or uneven surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Strap irritation between toes
Ensure the flip flops are the correct size for your feet. Try wearing them for shorter periods initially to allow your feet to adjust. If irritation persists, apply a small amount of petroleum jelly or a blister protection balm to the affected area.
Foot feels slippery on the footbed when wet
While the EVA footbed is brushed for traction, extreme wetness or certain slippery surfaces can still pose a risk. Ensure your feet are as dry as possible before putting them on. Regularly clean the footbed to remove any oils, dirt, or debris that might reduce grip.
Flip flops feel too loose or too tight
Check the size you ordered against your usual shoe size. Reef Sandy flip flops are a mid-width design. If they are consistently uncomfortable, consider trying a different size. Note that straps may stretch slightly over time with wear, which could affect the fit.
Unpleasant odor develops after use
Regularly clean the flip flops, especially after use in water or sweaty conditions. Wash the footbed thoroughly with mild soap and water, then allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing.

Compatibility

They are not recommended for high-impact sports, rough terrain, or activities requiring significant foot support or protection.
Care
- Cleaning: Due to their water-friendly construction, cleaning is straightforward. Rinse them with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or sand. For dirt or stains, gently wipe the synthetic nubuck and leather upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Drying: Allow them to air dry naturally away from direct sunlight or extreme heat to prevent material degradation or warping.
- Storage: Store your flip flops in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the straps and footbed for any signs of wear and tear. While durable, proper care extends their lifespan and maintains their aesthetic.
