My Brother in Law is a sandal guy. I'm a Nike guy. He's been swearing by Reef for years. These 'Stuyak' sandals seemed nice enough, so I ordered them.
The quality is impressive. Right out of the box you can tell. The canvas weave is fine, and the leather upper is soft and comfortable.
The soles require a 'breaking in' period, but it is well worth it as the arch support is superb. I'm 6'5" and this is a HUGE point of contention between shoe manufactures and myself.
So now I'm a sandal guy.
All in all these are a great find, exactly what I was looking for, and a great entry into a brave, sockless new world.
Thanks, Reef.
