Inspired by pro surfer Mick Fanning, these water-friendly sandals are the perfect kicks for a trip to the beach.
These sporty sandals have everything from comfort, support, an air pocket in the heel, and a bottle opener in the footbed! Comes in Black, Black and Grey, Black and Mint, and Dusty Taupe. Synthetic nubuck upper, contoured CMEVA footbed, iconic Reef herringbone rubber outsole.
Some report sandals with black straps leave marks on feet.
Comfort is the word for these sandals, from the webbing toe post to the built-in support that mimics the arch of your foot.
Durable, dependable and supportive. Comes in Black and Aqua or Gunmetal. Paneled synthetic upper, jersey lining, anatomical arch support, EVA outsole, and rubber outsole.
Unisex styling and limited color choices. Some report these run smaller than the Slap 2 design.
An attractive choice, in all senses of the word, for customers who don't need as much support.
More feminine in design and colors than other styles. Comes in Black on Black, Black and Blush, or Brown and Peach. Woven polyester straps, triple-density EVA construction, anatomical arch support, and EVA outsole.
Less supportive than other styles. May run narrow.
If you need support but are bored with sporty designs, this is the sandal for you.
Combines comfort and a touch of edgy style. Comes in Black or Brown. Synthetic, satin-lined strap with metal logo detail, quilted foam footbed. Anatomical arch support and flexible, rubber sponge outsole.
Some report these sandals are a bit slick and that they absorb water.
Sparkly accents make these a great choice for a night out on the water, but maybe not for an entire day at the pool or beach.
Slender, accented straps lend versatility to this classic flip-flop design. Comes in Multi, Noir, Pop Rocks, and Shadow. Thin rubber, accented strap, comfortable EVA footbed, rubber outsole.
Little support. A bit narrow for wide feet.

Reef was started in 1984 by two brothers, Santiago and Ferdinand Aguerre, from Argentina, with the mission of creating a surf culture-based, beach-centric, party-going range of flip flops, sandals and shoes. Now run from southern California, Reef has also partnered with Surfrider to create the Better Beach Alliance to help beach clean-up programs and make good on their “Beach Freely” slogan. As you might imagine, the range of flip flops, sneakers and flats is extensive, with options in a variety of styles and colors. Some also include arch support or cushioning for a relaxed and all-day comfortable fit. Bonus: The Fanning and Stargazer X Corona flip flops also have a built-in bottle opener.
