Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Reef infant sandals like the Little Charming and Little Fanning suitable for beach and pool days?

  Reef’s infant styles use water-resistant synthetics, soft EVA footbeds, and lightweight rubber or rubber-sponge outsoles for quick-dry comfort and traction on wet surfaces. Padded straps or elasticized slingbacks keep tiny feet secure while open-toe silhouettes and soft webbing linings help prevent chafing during active play.
• How should I size Reef infant sandals to get a secure, comfortable fit?

  Sizing can vary by model, so measure your child’s foot from heel to longest toe and consult the specific Reef size chart for the style you’re buying. Leave a little room for growth but ensure the slingback or padded strap holds the heel without slipping to keep the sandal stable for walking and play.
• Are Reef infant sandals good for toddlers who are learning to walk?

  Yes, many infant Reef models prioritize lightweight, flexible soles and grippy rubber outsoles that support natural foot motion while offering traction on sand and pool decks. Cushioned EVA footbeds and padded straps reduce pressure points, and secure slingbacks help prevent heels from coming out during early steps.
• How does the Little Charming compare to the Little Fanning for babies and toddlers?

  The Little Charming typically features a soft EVA footbed, PVC‑free TPU straps with enamel charm accents, and a lightweight rubber-sponge outsole geared toward comfort and a dressier look. The Little Fanning is a mini version of Reef’s best-selling adult Fanning, focusing more on poolside durability with water-friendly padded straps and a grippy rubber outsole for play.
• What’s the best way to care for Reef infant sandals after exposure to sand and saltwater?

  Rinse sandals in fresh water to remove sand and salt, wipe away grime with a mild soap if needed, and air dry them out of direct sunlight to protect EVA and synthetic straps from heat damage. Avoid machine washing or high heat, and check straps and outsoles regularly for wear before letting little ones play in slippery conditions.
