The Deckhand

The right sandal

I’m 54 years old, and I’ve been wearing Reef sandals for as long as I can remember. As a boater, sandals are my everyday footwear. The last time I bought a pair was the first time I actually took the time to read through Reef’s website and learn about the different styles. I realized I’d been buying the wrong sandals for years. I’d wear them in and out of the water, and after a while they’d start to smell because they weren’t really designed for that kind of use. This time, I bought a pair specifically made for getting wet, and the difference has been incredible. They dry quickly, stay comfortable, and don’t hold moisture like my old pairs did. Years ago I wore the Reef sandals with the bottle opener in the sole, but I stopped buying those because they kept scratching the step on my truck every time I got in. I’m actually glad I took this survey because I’ve already recommended these sandals to at least five friends, and every one of them ordered a pair after hearing about my experience. I was so impressed that I even thought about making a TikTok video just to explain the difference and help other people choose the right Reef sandal for how they actually use it. Sometimes it’s not about buying a better sandals, it’s about buying the right sandals! Also, I’m a huge fan of the Neptune‘s. But one suggestion you guys should sell replacement shoelaces for them.

I didn't received the merchandise.

Not the best Reef flip flops in my opinion

I am an old Florida native that doesn't wear anything other than my flip flops. I bought my first pair of Reefs in 1986, and I have never owned another brand. Ever since the no-slip flops came out, I have bought those. That said, I wasn't aware that the soles on these were so hard, and they do slip. I just came back from a cruise, and I slipped several times, but didn't fall. I had never had a problem with slipping on any of the past cruises I have been on. I thought these were just an updated version of the ones I had bought in the past.
