Mens Reef Fanning Sandals




Part of the Reef Redemption series, this version of Mick Fanning’s signature sandal has the best features of the original–a comfortable, contoured footbed with arch support and a bottle opener hidden in the outsole–with a little something extra: It uses recycled materials to keep things eco-friendly.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars BURNED MY APT DOWN BUT THESE SANDALS MADE IT!!!
I burned down my apt (accidently). Everything was lost, except for these reef’s on the floor right next to the melted down plasma tv.

Can’t believe they made it! Still had to throw them out d/t asbestos contamination but what the hey

5 Stars Reef Fanning Sandals
I purchased this pair online. I had a pair purchased from a store. These sandals are simply fantastic. They provide me with the type of arch and heel support I need. I was thrilled to get a pair from Amazon at a fraction of the cost locally. Everything arrived timely and in perfect shape. I would recommend the Fanning model to anyone who likes thong sandals and wants lasting comfort and value.

5 Stars Cool Sandals!
I cant complain one bit about these sandals, they are super comfortable after being broken in and the bottle opener on the bottom is awesome. Nothing is funnier than taking your sandal off at a party and opening someones beer.

Just a word of warning though, you do kind of need to break these in since the toe strap isn’t really curved or molded for your feet on day 1. However, after about a week it was much more comfortable.

4 Stars A great all around sandal
when I first Got the sandals they where a little tight on the strap side and I could not slide my foot in like I have been able to with my other pairs. Other then the strap bieng tight the Fanning sandal felt really good on the bottom of my feet. I have been wearing them on and off for the past month or so now and they have broken in a bit still not able to slide my foot in and go but its getting better with time.These are alot better cushion then any of my past sandals. The bottle opener works wich is a plus but watch where you walk you can clog it up with some not so pleasent stuff that you wouldnt want around your drink. Overall A great sandal

5 Stars Reef Sandals
Best sandals i’ve ever owned in my life. Reef makes top notch sandals, the last pair I had lasted over eight years. I had to buy a new pair because they literally rotted of my feet. They lasted all through the time I was a lifeguard, deployed to the Middel East, and just everyday wear and tear. This new pair feels better, fits great, and just all around meets the expectaions I have of Reef and its products.

    5 Stars Great Sandals
    Just as advertised. Great fit. I’ve been wearing them everyday since I’ve taken them out of the box.

    3 Stars Sizing isn’t consistent
    Newport H2 Full Sandal -Mens

    I recently purchased my second pair of Keen newport sandals. The first pair I got were awesome right out the box. I wear them all the time. So I decided to purchase a second pair. Same size different color. They don’t even feel close to the other ones. I’m wearing a pair of socks with them trying to get them broken in. Seems that Keen is not consistent with their sizing. Hope they start feeling good soon or they’ll end up in my wife’s annual yard sale.

    5 Stars Very Pleased!
    Bought this for the “urban jungle” of NYC. I’ve been wearing them almost every day for the past month and they are very comfortable. They seem to be well made and are holding up well. I’m very pleased with the purchase and would recommend them.

    5 Stars Outstanding Performer
    I have had my H2 sandals for over 3 years, and have put well over 1K miles on mine. Around town, in the water, and on the trail. They have not worn out or fallen apart, or lost color. I did have to have a shoe repairman reinforce the seams on the fabric where the side panels meet the sole, maybe 100 miles ago, but after 1K miles, I guess a little seam repair is more than reasonable. I just bought another pair, on sale, but they are still in the box cause the old ones are still going strong.

    4 Stars Newport H2
    A lot of people say it feels a half size too small but I think it feels true to

    both size and width. I received these shoes and was pleased to find that there

    isn’t any break-in time. I have a job where I walk around for 8 hours straight;

    I wore these the first day without any pain later that evening or the next day.

    There is an adjustable elastic cord that can be tightened, but I think the shoes

    are more comfortable if they are left a little loose. I had them tightened one

    day and noticed a pinching sensation after a couple hours of use. Another reason

    to wear them loose is that it makes it easier to put them back on if your feet

    are wet or sweaty

    They feel like they have very good traction but I’m not walking through rivers

    with slippery rocks so it isn’t the best test.

    Because these are closed-toe sandals, it creates a problem when small rocks,

    sand, or other objects get into the shoe. I found that I can’t just wiggle my

    foot around to get rid of the nuisance, I need to take the shoe completely off

    and dump it out. Another thing I noticed about these shoes is that it dried out

    the back of my heels. I only had to apply lotion once to correct the dryness and

    I have not had a problem since, but it is something to be aware of.

    Overall this is a great sandal and I don’t have to worry about sticks or other

    objects stabbing my toes because of the closed-toe feature. I have owned these

    for about a month now and they don’t show any signs of wear so I expect them to

    hold up for a long time. I would not recommend them for walking around on the

    beach because sand and rocks get trapped underneath your feet and up in the toe

    area, but for walking through rivers and as a casual shoe these are great. One

    last problem that I just thought of is that they aren’t comfortable for standing around with minimal movement for long periods of time. It’s possibly just my feet, but anyone interested in these should try them on and stand around for a while to see how they feel.

    FitFlop Womens Walkstar Classic Thong Sandal

    Friday, July 31st, 2009

    FitFlop Womens Walkstar Classic Thong Sandal




    A workout in a shoe! The FitFlop sandal tones your calves, thighs and glutes with a specially designed midsole that functions like a mini wobbleboard to engage your muscles as you walk.

    User Ratings and Reviews

    3 Stars Plantar Fasciitis sufferers beware!
    Initially these sandals were a dream come true, but plantar fasciitis pain has returned after 3 years of zero pain. As my FitFlops stretched from wearing daily in my house for 6 weeks (they’re so comfortable!), I’ve had to grip with my toes as I walk. Toe gripping in sandals isn’t good for plantar fasciitis sufferers - and there are many here in Florida where we have tile floors and year-round warm weather. If you don’t have foot problems, they are great, but be aware and be careful if you’ve ever had problems wearing flip-flops or other thongs.

    5 Stars FitFlop Sandal
    FitFlops are the best flip flops I have ever purchased. They are great for everyday wear and the dressier ones are great for evening wear. The innersole cushions your foot and keeps your legs comfortable all day. I have MANY pairs of these shoes in various colors and styles. I highly recommend the FitFlop for everyone.

    1 Star not worth it
    I just got these shoes. Very poorly made (you can see the glue and bad cuts). They look like knock offs. Also the velcro banding does not stretch so if your feet don’t fit under you are screwed. It hurt my feet. The only positive is soft bottom of the shoe. Absolutely not recommended for working out and long walks since they fall out of place and it hurts between the toes. If I could I would return them immediately.

    4 Stars Great Support
    I am a size 9 in shoes and in Fitflops, as well. I’m glad I bought them in a store & tried them on. Online, I read to size down 1. They would have been too small.

    They are very comfortable walking around New York city streets which can be filled with holes, cracks & are uneven. I don’t know about the toning claim.

    The only drawback for me, is that they make my feet look huge. I will probably get another pair (on sale, I hope).

    5 Stars Best flip flops to date!
    (My wife’s review)

    I LOVE fit flops. I have been wearing flip flops since college and these are, by far, the most comfortable and most kind to my feet.

    No, they do not work my bum. But that’s not why I bought them. I was impressed by how many people said fit flops were comfortable and wanted to try them for myself.

    I have TWO pairs - black and bronze. LOVE them, especially when summertime comes around!

    Reef Mens Fanning Sandal

    Friday, July 31st, 2009

    Reef Mens Fanning Sandal




    This is the original Reef Fanning that you know and love. What’s it got? The quick-drying synthetic nubuck strap, the contoured footbed and thick, foamy, molded EVA sole with added arch support, the under-heel airbag cushioning…what else could you possibly need? The hidden bottle opener’s there, too.

    User Ratings and Reviews

    3 Stars Comfortable but not long lasting
    Was comfortable, the bottle opener option is not well thought out in my opinion…who wants to open a bottle of beer with the dirty underside of their sandal? The material was kind of hot in the sun and tended to make my feet sweat which is wierd for sandals. Leather sandals in my opinion are always better.

    5 Stars Great Sandal
    As always, Reef Sandals is quality made, comfortable, and great looking. The only bad part is that they last so long, you feel bad for buying a new pair because your old pair still looks and feels great.

    5 Stars one cool flipper
    I ordered these for my 14 year old son. He loves them! It has a nice design and he likes the church key on the bottom

    3 Stars These go on my feet
    I wear these on my feet. My first thought when I saw them was crap, I spent $45 on these. :( But I do like them now and put them on my feet daily.

    5 Stars Awesome!!!
    They are comfortable from the moment I put them on. Someone already told me that they know I’m an alcoholic when I have bottle openers in my sandals. I’m not but it was a pretty darn funny conversation at the 4th of July BBQ! The bottle opener works great and is really convenient.

    BodyGlide Anti Chafing Stick

    Thursday, July 30th, 2009

    BodyGlide Anti Chafing Stick




    From heat to toe, BodyGlide arrests friction and creates a smooth, non-oily protection barrier. It helps prevent blisters, chafing, dry skin, saddles ores, cracked skin and rash. Use it everywhere - for hands, feet, upper body, inner thighs, under arms, shoulders and chest (nipples).

    User Ratings and Reviews

    5 Stars Glide? Check.
    Seriously, I can’t even consider leaving the house for a run without gliding up first. Everywhere and anywhere. This stuff is a necessity.

    4 Stars does what it says
    What can I say? It does what it says on the packaging, and does it well. I just wish I’d found it sooner!

    4 Stars Thank you Body Glide
    I use this for my inner thighs–can’t leave on my runs without it! Definitely better than vasoline. Doesn’t stain any fabric that I have, either.

    4 Stars smooth body now
    this was a great product. only problem is that when it arrived, it was really really warm out and it was left by the door, in the sun. when i tried to use it it crumbled. but now that it is at room temperature it is great. i would recommend this product for anyone with caffing issues, whether it be legs, arms, or nipples. great product.

    4 Stars Great for long distance runners
    I was very happy with this product and it was helpful for me when I run long distances (over 5 miles). I’ve found that it has really smoothed out running and any friction that might otherwise chafe.

    My one gripe would be that it seems to crumble a little at first, so I will get crumbs coming off the edges when I use it. It’s minor, but annoying when I step on those crumbs on a tile floor…
