Reef Fanning

Caring for your Reef Fanning

Cleaning: Wipe the sandal with a damp cloth and a little mild soap as needed. Avoid harsh cleaning products, bleach, and vigorous scrubbing, as these can damage the synthetic nubuck upper and footbed.

Drying: Let the sandal air-dry in a cool, ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators and tumble dryers. Never put the sandal in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as heat can deform the EVA materials.

Storage: Store the sandals in a cool, dry place between uses – ideally in a breathable bag or on a shelf. Make sure they are completely dry before putting them away to prevent odors and material damage.

General care: Take off the sandals with your hands instead of using your toes, so the straps keep their shape. With a little care, your Fanning will last for many seasons at the beach and in town.
