Proper Care and Maintenance of Sandals

I like wearing comfortable sandals not only because they slip on easily but also because they can be paired with almost all articles of clothing. However, like other types of footwear, proper care and maintenance should be observed to make sure that we can wear them for a long time. It’s easy to do that if you know how to properly maintain a variety of common materials since each type has different care methods. Finished leather sandals should be regularly cleaned and conditioned using a gentle leather cleaner because this restores the leather’s natural oils. As for unfinished leather, you can use saddle soap. Suede sandals should be regularly brushed to remove dust.


Rubber sandals and flip flops can be cleaned by using a dishwashing soap or shampoo scrubbed with a soft-bristled brush. Air dry or place them under the sun afterwards. Don’t forget to give your sandals’ insoles a light squirt of a household disinfectant spray and keep them in a cold, well-ventilated location. This prevents bacteria from forming in your feet. This works best on strappy sandals and rubber flip flops. Preventive maintenance goes a long way in helping your sandals withstand the elements. Also remember to thoroughly read the care and cleaning instructions of the sandals you bought. 


Since I want my footwear, particularly my sandals to be of top notch quality, I always shop at Reef. This environmentally conscious brand has a vast selection of men’s footwear from sandals to leather shoes. There’re several models I’m interested in like the reef Rover men’s athletic sandals. This active footwear features unparalleled comfort with maximum durability and traction to prevent slippage even when wet. It boasts of the SwellularTechnology which puts emphasis on comfort, support, and traction. Its super soft contoured foam footbed gives instant comfort. Other features include medium density molded foam midsole for long-lasting support, and high-density sawtooth rubber outsole for superior traction, protection, and durability. 


I’ll surely be the envy of many with the reef Fanning. Aside from its contoured compression molded EVA footbed with anatomical arch support, it also has full 360° heel airbag enclosed in soft polyurethane which increases shock absorption, water friendly synthetic nubuck upper, and a church key to open soda bottles. It’s just perfect even for everyday use. I’ll likewise look good if I wear the reef Phantom Le. It’s soft and comfortable and has features such as premium leather upper with air mesh lining, contoured compression molded EVA footbed with anatomical arch support, and grippy molded high density EVA outsole.

The secret behind men’s titanium wedding bands’ stylishness

There was a time when jewelry meant ornaments made of silver, gold or diamond. Times have changed and several other metals have challenged the hegemony of these three traditional metals over jewelry world. Of the non-traditional metals, titanium has come up strongly as a stylish choice in men’s wedding bands. The stylish secret about men’s titanium wedding bands is basically their luster and tremendous strength. Color choices and styles available in titanium weddings bands are seldom available in other metals.

Style is the basic reason why men should opt for titanium as their wedding bands. Gone are the days when men were supposed to be wearing simple ornaments if any. It was more of a matter of choice rather than fashion. Titanium has provided men with that choice and now they can choose from among various different styles. A number of color options are available in men’s titanium wedding bands, out of which double toned bands with black and silver color, are among the most popular. But titanium bands are not limited to these two colors only. Some of them have carbon fiber and black cable insets.

Another very important quality which lends style to titanium wedding bands is the brilliant luster and shine of the metal. This brilliant luster and shine is almost permanent because titanium never requires any re-plating and can be easily polished and brought back to its original luster at home. There is absolutely no need to take your wedding bands to the jeweler for professional polishing because you can do the polishing at home with the help of a sanitizer and a dish washing pad like Scotch Brite.

Lustrous and shiny titanium wedding bands can be adorned with several other things to add to the beauty of the bands. Some titanium bands are encircled entirely by abalone inlay. Natural abalone has incrustations on its shell which provides an iridescent of colors which could be seen when the light refracts in the crystallized layers. There are many other inlay designs which are mostly crafted by hand. Other inlay, for example carbon fiber, lies beneath a centerpiece which is strongly mineralized. It doesn’t only enhance the glimmering facets of the inlay, but also provides with a transitional surface between the centerpiece and the titanium band. This innovatively mineralized layer is superbly durable and is similar to those mineralized layers which are found on expensive watches. These are just some of the ways in which titanium wedding bands are stylishly designed. These stylish designs bring titanium bands at par with other precious metals like gold, platinum and diamond. This website has hundreds of styles from what I saw. Gold, platinum, tungsten & more.

It isn’t all about style when we talk about men’s titanium wedding bands, there is a lot of substance to it as well which makes these styles and designs possible in the first place. Besides being stronger than platinum, bend and dent resistant, titanium wedding bands for men are much cheaper than white gold and platinum which are their costly counterparts. Without compromising on style, luster and color, you can now purchase something much cheaper than other precious metals.
