Men's Santa Ana Flip Flop with High Arch Support - Water Friendly

In this review the REEF Santa Ana Men's flip flop stands out for anyone who wants a comfortable, water-ready sandal with real arch support. The bottom line: it is best for men who spend long days on their feet or move between beach and town and need a durable, cushiony sole that stays grippy when wet. The review will look at fit, materials and daily performance so you can decide if the Santa Ana matches your routine.

Key Features

• Padded vegan leather strap: the water friendly vegan leather strap with super soft padded jersey lining reduces chafing and feels comfortable against the top of the foot.
• High arch footbed: the super soft compression molded EVA footbed provides pronounced arch support for standing or walking over longer periods.
• Bamboo-inspired foot texture: the textured footbed gives traction underfoot so feet feel less likely to slip when wet.
• Non-marking rubber outsole: the rubber cupsole with palm frond design gives durable grip and resists leaving marks on indoor floors.
• Water friendly construction: materials and design tolerate wet conditions so the sandals are suitable for beach and poolside use.
• One-year warranty: Reef covers manufacturer defects for up to one year, offering basic assurance against early faults.

Who It's For

The Santa Ana is ideal for men who want a versatile, comfortable flip flop for casual daily wear, travel and time at the beach. The high arch support and soft EVA footbed make it especially well suited to people who value cushioning and need better support than basic flat sandals provide.

It is less appropriate for people who need a very wide fit or custom orthotic inserts; some customers report a mixed fit where the sandal can feel narrow to those with broader feet, so shoppers who require a roomy toe box should try them on or consider other models.
