Reef Men's J-Bay Iii Flip Flops

Product Information

Although caring for leather can be somewhat of a mystery, it really isn’t all that complicated. After all, us flip floppers are men of leisure. We can’t be bothered with tedious flip flop upkeep.

We have a 60-day return policy, which means you have 60 days after receiving your item to request a return. Leather flip flops are awesome, but they don’t always mix well with water. I personally like to wear flip flops everywhere in the summer, and I know a lot of you guys do to. But chance encounters with water (or intentional encounters) are bound to happen, so that’s why Reef constructed the Voyage LUX using waterproof leather that’ll stand up to any amount of moisture you throw at it. The LITE leather used to construct the Voyage LUX is sourced from an environmentally friendly tannery called ISA Tantec. LITE stands for Low Impact To the Environment, which means the leather was processed in a facility that utilizes sustainable energy, and has a very low carbon footprint. I know what you’re thinking: what else is there? But don’t worry. As limiting as that list is, let’s take a look at a few pastimes where flip flops really excel. One of the first things you’ll notice about the Waimea is the intricate stitching that covers the full grain leather footbed. OluKai refers to this stitching as Paniolo stitching, and pays tribute to the traditional style of Hawaiian cowboys called Paniolos.As the name Recliner suggests, these things are designed to be comfortable. The footbed is constructed with a series of soft pillow-like pads that look pretty badass, and provide unrivaled cushion and comfort with every step. The only downside is you’re probably not going to want to take ’em off. Leather flip flops are great. They’re stylish, comfortable, durable, and short of formal wear, they pair well with pretty much anything.

SPARTOO.COM is registered with the CNIL (French National Commission on Informatics and Liberty), under the number: 1182432. Full grain leather is the finest grade of leather you can get, and the Waimea is covered in it. From the straps, to the footbed, midsole, outsole, and even toe post are all water-resistant full grain leather. For increased traction and durability, molded rubber inserts are added to the sandals outsole. Once your leather flip flops are wiped clean, it’s important to let them dry out completely before wearing them again. Damp leather has a tendency to attract dirt and dust, which would effectively negate all the work you did in the first step. When it comes to drying leather flip flops, it’s best to simply place them outside in a shaded area. While sunlight won’t necessarily harm the leather, it could potentially bleach the finish and leave them with a lighter shade. Yes, leather flip flops are cool. No, water damaged flip flops are not. Reef understands that sandals get worn basically everywhere in the summer. That’s why they use waterproof leather to protect them from accidental encounters with water, or intentional ones. Because I sure as hell don’t let my footwear dictate my path, I doubt you do either.

Reef

As one of Reef’s premium sandals it only makes sense that they would use the finest leather. The J-Bay’s straps, toe piece, and footbed are all constructed with waterproof full grain leather. Aside from quality, Reef also has a thing for being environmentally friendly. That’s why they source their leather from tanneries that utilize sustainable energy, and have a low carbon footprint. The Waimea somehow manages to never look out of place. Whether you’re going to the beach, dinner, out with friends, or a non-formal night on the town, the versatile styling is suitable for pretty much any occasion. Which is kind of cool if you’re the type of person who hates having to change out of their flip flops.
