Reef Shoes & Apparel Care Guide

Reef shoes, sandals, and apparel are designed for comfort and adventure, whether you’re at the beach, pool, or on the go. To keep your Reef pieces looking great and performing well, follow these simple care instructions.

Footwear Care

Animal Leather Sandals & Shoes

Remove dirt: Use a dry, soft-bristled brush or cloth to clear away excess dirt or sand.
Clean leather & suede: Apply saddle soap or a leather cleaner/conditioner, following the product label. For suede, always brush in one direction to protect the fibres.
For mixed materials (textile, rubber, synthetic parts): Create a mild solution of clear laundry soap and warm water. Dip a sponge in and gently clean affected areas.
Rinse: Use clean water to remove detergent residue.
Dry properly: Allow to air dry in the shade at room temperature. Never use direct heat, dryers, or washing machines.

Vegan Leather, Rubber & Synthetic Sandals & Shoes

Remove dirt: Brush or wipe with a dry cloth.
Wash gently: Mix a little clear laundry soap with warm water and sponge clean.
Rinse well: Remove excess soap with fresh water.
Dry naturally: Air dry in the shade at room temperature.

👉 Important: Never machine wash or tumble dry Reef footwear, as heat and harsh chemicals can damage adhesives and fabrics.
