Bottle Opener Flip Flops

Review by D. Kyle Irrgang:

very comfortable flip-flops. great for all day wearing. these are my second pair. i wore these all day for 6 days in Savannah, Ga. I’ve worn them to the beach, in the water, in a friends pool. they can take it and still look good.i still wear my first pair around the house or for shooting to the store. I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 because of the can-opener on the bottom. It works ok. Depending on where you have been walking though, i wouldn’t want that stuff near my beer.

Review by P. Storey:

Love these sandals. We received them very quickly and they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Bought them for a week at Disney World which involves a lot of walking and my feet were never sore.

Review by Karen1455:

The minute I put these sandals on they were comfortable. I like the idea of a bottle opener on the bottom of the sandal. I probably won’t ever use the opener, but it’s kind of cool knowing it’s there, just in case…..

I typically don’t wear thongs, as I don’t like anything between my toes. But, these particular sandals were really comfortable and I find myself putting them on when going out, instead of my tennis shoes.

They are a little pricey, but well worth the cost in comfort compared to other thongs.

Review by horsiemom:

I have NEVER been able to wear a shoe with something between my toes and when I tried on my sister-in-law’s, I couldn’t believe it. I have worn these every single day, all day long, since they arrived. They even endured a week of horse shows beautifully! Someone even needed the built in bottle opener!!!!

Can’t wait to buy more in other colors and styles…you should too! You won’t be sorry.

Review by Thomas B Goodloe:

I bought a pair of these sandals in February 2005 and am still wearing them. Like any sandal, they are fun and easy to wear. Just recently I’ve noticed that the front part of the soles has worn down and they are smooth now. Also the foam bed has started to crack in several places, but for the price I’d say I’ve gotten reasonable use out of them.

The bottle opener is a great conversation piece. Also rest assured, they do hold up to wear and tear. I was skeptical when I bought these how long they’d stay intact, but I can attest that they are still in and functional… kinda mangled, but still intact and functioning.

Also, if you think you’re just gonna swing your leg up and crack open a beer like Mr. Joe Cool, then think again. I remember when I first got these I was at a backyard house party while in San Diego. I was flirting with these two girls, talkin’ my game and trying to be super cool. So I grab another beer, and while talking to them, I lift my foot and try to crack the bottle open. Well, between trying to keep my balance and get the lip of the cap in the opener, I apparently shook it up a bit. When I finally did open it, the resulting explosion of foam shot all over me and the two girls. Not cool.

I would suggest taking the sandal off to use the bottle opener feature.

All and all, a great shoe. Fun and easy to wear.

Another tip: Make sure you wash these every so often! Stick ‘em in the washing machine. I neglected to do this and developed a nasty case of athlete’s foot from them. Just a heads up. Enjoy!

Review by Nigel Turner:

I bought a pair of Freddy P’s reef sandals that lasted 3 years before finally breaking. I loved those shoes. At that point I had to get the Fanning’s as the Freddy P’s are no longer being made.

The Fanning shoe has lasted me about 1 year, keeping in mind I did not wear them in the winter, The strap that goes in between your toes has started to come apart on both shoes. And they have become loose and not as comfortable.

The bottle opener is to be used only if you have to.

You have to take the shoe off to open beer, if you have already had a few beers standing on one leg can become a little tricky.

I guess for they are worth the price.

Review by Michael D. Williams:

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.

Review by Mikey J:

As if there is another flip flop could offer the style, comfortable, and mobility of the Mick Fanning sandal. The leather version of a very popular sandal is exactly what any avid wearer would appreciate.

The sandal is sleek and looks good on a well maintained foot. They are true to size so if you wear a 12, order the 12.

Overall, you cannot and will not go wrong with this great sandal. It hugs the foot very well, provides great heel support, and the church-key hidden perfectly in the sole will be a great topic of any party or gathering. Great job with the development of a great flip flop that even the snobbiest would find pleasure to sport.

Originally in the late 1890s, By Reef And Palm is Australian author Louis Becke’s thoroughly amusing collection of short-story “yarns” about daily life in the Pacific Islands that has been brought out in a new addition by Dixon-Price Publishing and will aptly serve to introduce a whole new generation of readers to the work of a man reputed in his lifetime to be the “Kipling of the Pacific”. Reflecting a lawless era in candid, nothing-is-sacred prose, By Reef And Palm is a unique, captivating, enthusiastically recommended compendium of short stories showcasing the trials and travails a century gone “Paradise”.
