I’ve been living in these REEF Water Vista sandals all summer, and they’ve become my ultimate footwear MVP. The first thing I noticed was the cloud-like cushioning—the dual-density EVA footbed feels like walking on marshmallows, even after hours of exploring farmers' markets or chasing waves at the beach.

Style-wise, they’re sneaky versatile. I’ve paired them with cutoff jeans for brunch and a flowy maxi dress for sunset cocktails, getting compliments both times. The platform adds just enough height without feeling like I’m wearing stilts (looking at you, awkward wedges).

During a recent weekend getaway, they survived everything from impromptu pier jumps (dries in minutes!) to cobblestone streets. Pro tip: The adjustable Velcro is a lifesaver when your feet swell in heat—no painful strap digging like some rigid sandals.

The only hiccup? During an all-day festival, I did develop a tiny rub spot where the toe strap meets my pinky toe. But slapping on some moleskin fixed it instantly—worth it for how much mileage I’ve gotten otherwise.

After three months of near-daily wear, they still look fresh after a quick wipe-down. These have officially replaced three pairs in my closet—that’s how good they are.
