Reef Arch-1 Flip-Flops

There are the cheapo flip-flops you get at the drugstore. There are the fancy ones that cost as much as running shoes. And then there’s the Reef Arch-1. For the money, it’s hard to find a better pair of flops. They feel great, look cool, and take a beating. They’re also made of environmentally friendly materials (recycled rubber and water-based adhesives) and have adjustable arch support. Even better, 1 percent of Reef’s proceeds go to its Redemption Fund, which donates to ocean-loving nonprofits like Surf Aid and Surfrider.
