Men's Bottle Opener FAQ's
What is the REEF bottle opener sandal?
The REEF bottle opener sandal is a full-performing beach sandal with a functional bottle opener built into the rubber outsole beneath the heel. It's been part of REEF's lineup since 2004 and has become one of surfing culture's most recognizable footwear designs.
How does the built-in bottle opener work?
Place the bottle cap against the opener's groove on the outsole and use your body weight as leverage to pop it off. It works exactly as you'd expect, whether you're at the beach, a backyard cookout, or anywhere cold drinks appear.
Are bottle opener sandals good for everyday beach use?
Yes. The bottle opener is embedded in the outsole and doesn't affect the fit, comfort, or look of the sandal. These styles use the same cushioned footbeds and durable rubber outsoles as the broader REEF lineup. The opener is a bonus, not a compromise.
Who is the REEF Fanning sandal named after?
The Fanning sandal is named after Mick Fanning, three-time World Surf League champion. Mick co-designed the sandal with REEF, and it has been in continuous production since 2004, making it one of the most enduring collaborations in surf footwear.
Are REEF bottle opener sandals water-friendly?
Yes. The Fanning and related bottle opener styles are designed for beach and water use. The rubber outsole and water-resistant materials make them as practical in the surf as at a backyard gathering.
