Samii and I had finally gotten around to watching the first season of, "Fallout," on Amazon Prime (it was really good), and we had to put up with some ads. One ad that I at first thought was some kind of joke involved REEF sandals. These shoes apparently have a bottle opener on the bottom. Why? I suppose if you're at the beach and wanna have a bottle of soda/beer/etc. the idea is that it is helpful. The whole thing seemed odd, and my wife was so annoyed having to put up with ads, she decided she already hated the sandals for interrupting our show. That said, I wondered, were these sandals a silly gimmick or any good?
From my looking around online, REEF sandals are apparently quite high quality and have great reviews. The bottle opener on the bottom is more a of, "Bonus," or calling card, than the main feature. People find them sturdy, comfortable...and they have a random bottle opener. The only complaint I noticed from digging around on the internet is that if you step in something soft and gross, it can get stuck in the bottle opener area--don't wear these on the farm unless you like manure in your shoes! Still, that qualm aside, REEF sandals are a bit pricey, but worth it after all--gimmick or not. Samii is still annoyed we had to watch the ad 50 or so times while we binged the season, however.
My Usual Disclaimer: REEF did not pay me to compliment their shoes or is even aware of my blog; I just felt like writing a post about them. That said, I as will always email them a link to the article to share my thoughts with them.
