Multi-Purpose Shoes Make Beach Drinking Easier

My beach-ware of choice is Reef. Â And they’ve come up with an interested invention–shoes with build in bottle openers.

I usually remember to bring a bottle opener with me, but I’ve definitely had it go missing too. Â It can fall into the sand and then… well, it’ll be an artifact for a future generation to find some day.

Just don’t let someone be too vigorous with opening beverages with your shoe–you don’t want to sacrifice the sole!

Reef used to have a shoe with a built-in safe as well (for your valuables). Â My guess is that product didn’t fare too well once people actually took it into the ocean.

Now all I need is an easier way to make margaritas on the beach…. and I’m set.

Yeah, it’s clever and all, but what about after you’ve used a public beach restroom? You really want to open your beer with that sandal then?
Nice blog, thanks for writing!

  I was out to dinner with a bunch of people and we just all collectively “ewwwwww”-ed in response to your comment. Good point!

Margaritas on the beach? I’ve got one of these coming this summer, the product of one of kickstarter’s best funded campaigns : http://coolest.com/ It’ll cover your margaritas plus a whole lot more! I’ll let you know how it works out. Or better yet, let’s head to the beach and give it a test drive!

If you really want to be smart you wouldn’t take glass bottles to any beach, pool or lake I’m thinking. +1 on the wear them in he toilet, street, condom on the beach or mud puddle and it takes away my interest in a hurry 🙂
