I've been living in my REEF Water Vista sandals this summer, and they’ve quickly become my go-to footwear. The cushioned footbed feels like walking on clouds—no joke. I wore them on a weekend beach trip, and even after hours of walking on hot sand, my feet didn’t ache. The arch support is a game-changer.

The adjustable Velcro straps are a lifesaver for my slightly wide feet. At first, I worried about blisters (a common issue for me), but after a short break-in period, they molded perfectly. Bonus: They dried in minutes after a spontaneous paddleboarding session.

Style-wise? I’ve paired them with everything—cutoff jeans for brunch and a flowy dress for sunset cocktails. The platform adds just enough height without sacrificing comfort. Pro tip: The white/brown colorway hides dirt surprisingly well between cleanings (a quick wipe-down does the trick).

Only caveat: The toe straps might rub if you have narrow feet when wet—I’d suggest sizing down if you’re between sizes. But for beach-to-bar versatility? 10/10 would recommend to any summer adventurer.
