2mm reef booties built for real reef protection
If you have searched for O'Neill reef shoes, the Reactor 2mm Reef Booties are built around one job, keeping feet protected from reef, rock and shell while wading, snorkeling or paddling out. The 2mm construction and durable outsole are meant for actual contact with the bottom, not just a beach walk.
What is built into the Reactor booties
- Durable outsole for traction and abrasion resistance
- Heel pull tab for an easier on and off
- Reef protection built into the design
- Fluid Foam exterior
- Fluid Foam interior
Where these booties get used
These are made for time in the water where the bottom is not sand, reef edges, rocky inlets, jetties and boat entries around South Florida's coastline. The heel pull tab matters here, wet neoprene and foam booties are hard to get on and off quickly at the water's edge, and this detail speeds that up between water entries.
Getting the fit and care right
Reef booties should fit snug, a loose bootie can slip and let grit or shell fragments in, so pull them on with the heel tab until they sit close to the foot. After use, rinse them in fresh water to clear out sand and salt from the interior foam, then let them air dry fully before storing so the foam does not hold moisture between sessions.
O'Neill's water sport background
O'Neill describes its gear as built by a team that develops product for athletes performing in extreme conditions, from cold water surf to reef and rock exposure, which is the same design approach behind a dedicated reef bootie rather than a general water shoe.
