Reef BYOB

Men's Footwear > Flip FlopsRated: ***** by 49 reviews.

We’re well aware of what BYOB means so why not create a Reef sandal that necessitates the bottle bearing “soda” heads. Comfortable and athletic this Reef sandal kills two birds with one stone. A contoured compression molded EVA footbed with anatomical arch support provides all the comfort you need while the church key located on the sole allows you to safely and effectively gain access to that sweet nectar of life… which is “soda” of course.

Come to the rescue with your bottle opener built right into the sole of the stylish and durable Reef BYOB.

Features:

  • Church key to open your "soda" bottle
  • Comfortable water friendly synthetic nubuck/neoprene upper
  • Contoured compression molded EVA foot bed with anatomical arch support
  • Full 360 degree heel airbag enclosed in soft polyurethane
  • Reef icon herringbone rubber outsole

The water friendly Men's Reef BYOB Sandals pull their weight. Not only do they keep your feet comfy with a molded EVA footbed and neoprene-lined upper, they include a church key bottle opener for cracking open beers. Reef made the laid-back BYOB slides with a molded heelcup and an enclosed airbag so you can wear them all day.

Better than the gimmick on the bottom - The BYOB is a comfy all day sandal that would do well without the opener, although it is in fact a functional feature. If you have sweaty feet these are not vented and do promote sweat. The stretchy top gives a snug but not tight fit and the air sole allows for all day comfort. I replaced a pair of Top-Sider sandals and would recommend these as a good purchase for all day use. I wear a 9.5 and had to order a 10 as these do not com in half sizes and the 9's were too short.

sandal with benefits

Rating:****

I like this sandal. The sole is the most comfortable I have worn on a sandal. Although I havn't had a chance to use the bottle opener yet, I'm positive it will come in handy. Only thing I'm not really liking about this footwear is the neoprene. It doesn't breathe at all so my feet end up with some sweat build up every 10 minutes. Kinda sucks since it is such a comfortable sandal.

Excellent slides! Best slides on the market for the money. You can wear them all day in comfort. Better than any other slide I have previously worn including anything from Nike, Adidas, Reebok or others. The best thing you can always open that twist off cap beer that doesn't want to be twisted off with the built in bottle opener. Zappos service is the best! Nobody can come close to their delivery.

The sandal you dream of

Rating:*****

Only way this thing could have been better is if a beer came with it. What more can you say, sandal with a church key. When letting your buddy open their beer on your foot, keep bottle vertical and open slowly or you'll all get showered because this thing opens so effortlessly clean and fast. Oh yeah, the sandal works like a sandal.

I owned one of these shoes for two years of pretty constant wear during the summer and they were my most comfortable pair of flip flops that I have owned. When finally wore out, I purchased the same type again. I found the church key useful for being on a boat with a Corona.

Reef's BYOB - I bought these for my 10 year old son. He loves them. They are great for everyday and for the beach/pool. I have slipped them on to run an errand a few times and I really like them, too. I plan to get my husband a pair before our next vacation.

LOVE THEM!!!I ordered them for my husband and he thinks they are the greatest!! A very comfortable shoe and they are the life of any get together with friends when he shows them the bottle opener on the bottom of the shoe!! Alittle expensive for a flip-flop but priceless as a conversation piece!!

I am usually very picky about the sandals I wear. It's very hard to find ones that I can wear for more than a couple of hours, but these sandals are very comfortable. They really are worth the money; I just wish I would of found out about them 10 years ago.

Just what I expected - I've had Reefs before and have been very happy with them. Bought this pair to replace the pair of 7 y/o Reefs I blew out playing volleyball. These are even more comfortable than my last with the air sole. Let's hope these last just as long.

Amazingly comfortable sandals - I had heard a great deal about the merits of Reef sandals, but was never sure whether to believe all the hype. After buying these sandals, I must admit that they are truly fantastic. Really comfortable and great for lounging around on lazy summer weekends.

Negative Reviews:

A bit too wide

Rating:**

These sandals are pretty groovy looking and would have been greatly enjoyed if it wasn't for the fact that they were a bit too wide.
I had too grip the sandals with my feet when I walked in them because the material going across the top of my foot was too wide. These sandals are not adjustable so I was unable to narrow the band to fit my foot. So, if you have wide feet, these are the sandals for you.

Well... These are okay sandals and they certainly do what they're supposed to, but they do not seem to be wearing well and I've only had them a couple of weeks. The toe is a little smushed from banging into something, but I don't know what or when. For the price, I had anticipated a little more durability.
