Just in time for outdoor concert season comes this sneaky sandal -- the Reef Dram Sandals -- that look like ordinary summer footwear but conceals a 1.5-ounce flask in each sandal!
Yep, you can stroll past security on the way into the park and smile as they go through your backpack and cooler, looking for alcoholic beverages.
Talk about Johnny Walkers! Ahem.
Each water-friendly sandal hides a polyurethane-encapsulated canteen in its heel, complete with a small screw cap that opens with an exclusive key.
Thirsty for more info? You can read about these sandals here. Choose your foot size, colour and then order a pair for $45 U.S. plus shipping.
No wonder there's so much "buzz" about this gadget. Get it? Buzz? Oh forget it.

Well it just goes to show the ingenuity that people possess to get or do what they want even if it is unlawful.
Imagine if everyone used that level of ingenuity to improve the planet, what a much better world we would live in.

1.5 oz??.... what's the point? Unless it's an ego thing just to say you pulled something over on someone...

Oh please, why on earth do we continue to encourage anything that can be remotely used by bad people. Who are they aiming at? Us good people? Please...!

Kids, the easiest way to sneek boooze into an open air concert is to pour the 26er into a plastic zip lock bag, seal the top with tape (duct tape) and bury it in a bowl of potato salad - that way when security checks, all they see is deliciious potato salad - mix (O.J.) can be carried in a big drink cooler (no odor) - WE DON"T NEED YER STINKIN' SANDALS!!!!

I think it would be odd to see someone drinking out of their sandals,it would probably raise suspicion. It would be really funny though to watch someone try to drink out of them when they've had a few :D

omg. this is the most retarded thing i have heard yet. i mean i've seen people do stupid things to sneak alcohol in but to drink it out of a sandal? how pathetic is the world getting. If you are that desprate for a drink bring some money to the concert and do it the right way...

Oh come on. It's a cute novelty at best. Let's not demonize it entirely. You have got to learn to LAUGH at the most ridiculous things.

I think this invention is HILARIOUS!! There are so many public events that prohibit bringing in any outside alcohol, and although I'm not a big drinker, sometimes I just wish it was possible to bring in your own alcohol, instead of paying outrageous prices!!
Concerts I personally dont see a reason to drink, as I'm usually only at a concert to see the band, not to waste money on alcohol.. But I could totally see this coming in handy at a ballpark (where beer's are insanely priced), or on a camping trip, or even just a picnic in a public park.
INGENIOUS I say! :)

As far as bringing booze in a shoe. I find it rather amusing.Drinking out of a shoe eh! To each his own I say.If you want to have a drink go to the beer store or wine store. Bring it home & relax.That way you are not drinking & driveing Its more of a pleasure to stay at home & have a few drinks with family & friends now and again. It reminds me of the Fifties. Now that was the good old days.

Wow you people are stupid. Umm these sandals (and everything else Reef makes) are targeted at 15-25 year old males. I have the Reef sandals with a bottle opener attached to the bottoms, and man are those things handy for when you buy pop tops and head down to the river. Plus while wearing them men want to be like you and women want to be with you, thats how cool they are

The tagarted age group may very well be 15-25 year males. That dostn change the fact that it really is a silly concept.
If you really wanted to sneak booze in some where, what good does three ozs. do you ?
