REEF Santa Ana Men's Flip Flop - High Arch Support (Style CT7D)

Our review of the REEF Santa Ana Men's Flip Flop finds it best suited for anyone who spends long hours on their feet and wants a water-friendly, comfortable sandal with real arch support. The single biggest reason to buy is the high arch support built into a super soft compression molded EVA footbed that keeps feet stable during extended wear. These sandals blend comfort and durability with a non-marking rubber cupsole and a padded, water-friendly vegan leather strap, making them versatile for beach days, casual outings, or just relaxed everyday use.

Key Features

• Water friendly strap: Vegan leather straps with a super soft padded jersey lining stay comfortable when wet and dry quickly for repetitive use around water.
• High arch support footbed: Super soft compression molded EVA delivers cushioning while the pronounced arch helps reduce fatigue on long walks or standing spells.
• Bamboo inspired texture: The textured footbed offers subtle traction underfoot to help keep your foot from sliding on wet surfaces.
• Non-marking outsole: Rubber cupsole with palm frond design provides durable traction and won't leave scuff marks on floors.
• One year warranty: Reef covers manufacturer defects for up to one year from purchase, giving added confidence in build quality.

Who It's For

These flip flops are ideal for men who need everyday sandals that hold up to beach, pool, and street use while offering arch support not commonly found in basic flip flops. They work well for people who value cushioning and a soft strap lining for blister-free wear.

Shoppers who need a very wide toe box or a specialized orthotic should look elsewhere, since some customers report a narrower fit. Also, those seeking a formal sandal or a heavy-duty hiking sole should consider other footwear designed specifically for those purposes.

Pros & Cons

Pros
