FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for swimming?
While the materials are water-friendly, these flip flops are designed primarily for comfort and casual wear around water, not for swimming performance. Rinse with fresh water after swimming to maintain material integrity.
How durable is the bottle opener?
The bottle opener is integrated into the durable rubber outsole. It is designed for repeated use under normal conditions for opening beverage bottles.
Can I wear these for light hiking?
These flip flops offer good comfort and support for casual walking, but they are not designed for hiking. They lack the ankle support and rugged tread required for uneven terrain.
What is the "Thirst Quenching Technology (TQT)"?
TQT refers to the convenience of having the bottle opener integrated into the sandal, allowing you to easily open drinks whenever needed.
How do I clean the footbed?
Gently clean the footbed with a damp cloth. For tougher spots, use mild soap and water, then rinse and allow to air dry.
What is the warranty period for Reef sandals?
Reef typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the specific warranty information provided with your purchase or on the official Reef website for details.
Are there other colors available in the Fanning series?
Yes, the Reef Fanning series is available in various colors and designs. Please check the product listings for other available options.
Troubleshooting
Flip-flops feel too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. These flip-flops are designed for a relaxed fit; consider if a different size or model might be more suitable if the fit is significantly off.
Footbed feels uncomfortable after initial wear.
The footbed is designed to mold to your foot over time. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to break in.
Bottle opener seems difficult to use.
The bottle opener requires a standard prying motion. Ensure the bottle cap is properly seated against the opener for best leverage.
Synthetic materials have stiffened.
Prolonged exposure to heat or strong chemicals can affect the material. Try gently flexing the sandal and storing it in a cool, dry place.
