After world-renowned Australian pro-surfer Mick Fanning's signature sandal was introduced, Reef was flooded with requests for a female version of the shoe. Eager to see what all the fuss is about, I take a pair of the Fanning Sandals for women ($45) out for a test. The contoured CMEVA footbed with an air-cushion midsole provides support to my feet without feeling bulky, and the full 360-degree heel airbag enclosed in soft polyurethane has me feeling like I'm walking on air. I spend the afternoon on the boat, where I find that  the water-friendly synthetic nubuck upper and rubber outsole withstand the marine elements, quickly drying after a splash or two of water.

It's at an evening cookout that I discover why these sandals have a reputation that precedes them. The church key bottle opener built into the soles of the shoes turns me  into the life of the party. Opening bottles left and right, I watch my friends rave about the functionality of such a cute shoe. (One thing I have to point out is that unless you want to spray people with their beverages, it's a good idea to take the shoe off before attempting to open their bottles.) The shoes' outsoles hide the recessed bottle openers, so not only can I walk around without noticing them, but I'm also able to walk on the boat as I was earlier, without fear  of leaving marks or scratching the deck. These cool, casual shoes are sure to be a girl's mandatory summer accessory. The women's Fannings are medium-width and come in sizes 5 to 11 with four color combinations. (800) 423-6855.
