If you’re anything like me, you’re already starting to access your summer wardrobe and realize you have it no idea what to wear to the warm weather function. Whether you’re attending multiple weddings this year as a guest or bridesmaid, or already have a poolside vacation planned, you might be rethinking last year’s shoes, or realizing you have absolutely nothing but sneakers and combat boots in your closet (guilty !). ).

Either way, we’re here to make life easier for you by pointing it out the summer sandal that matches almost any outfit combination and keeps you cool (and comfortable!) at the same time. Seriously, the reason I avoid sandals in the first place is because they typically provide absolutely no arch support, which doesn’t work when you’re on vacation.

But these Water Vista Higher sandals from Reef get endless five-star reviews from customers who say they’re so comfortable they’re basically “like wearing bedroom slippers.” Okay, sign me up.

Reef is known for its first-class comfort. There’s a good reason why the brand is Senior Commerce Director Gina Vaynshteyn’s favorite brand every summer. β€œI have at least three pairs of Reef sandals because no other pair is durable or soft enough for me. The area between my toes and heels gets extremely irritated if I don’t pay attention to what I’m wearing, but with Reef sandals I don’t have to worry. I have worn several pairs on very active (and hot) summer holidays involving lots of walking and sea water, and they have been a godsend,” she says.

One of Reef’s newest offerings are super stylish yet comfortable sandals that we can’t stop looking at.

Reef, Water Vista higher sandal

Unlike most summer sandals, these give you a platform height of 2.5 inches, which in turn means there’s room to add extra cushioning and padding to keep you comfortable while you wear them. Each show has a soft, contoured footbed that cushions the foot with every step you take. The upper is made of water-resistant material, making it ideal for water activities. The EVA footbed is ultra resilient and lightweight, which makes the sandals very walking-friendly. And finally, the EVA platform outsole has a stud design for extra traction (no slipping and sliding, even when you’re at the pool).

Available sizes: 5-11

Another reviewer wrote: β€œIt’s like walking on clouds! Cute, comfortable, waterproof, compliments galore. What are you waiting for?” The fact that these babies are water resistant and you can take them to the pool? They are the perfect summer shoes.

They also come in five different colors, including cream, hot pink, and this citrus color. Personally, I’m a fan of black and white, but why not get a neutral pair and a pair with a pop of color? I like the idea that you can adjust the fit with the adjustable ankle strap at the back of the shoe. This ensures that you don’t slide while wearing them.

The other pair of Reef sandals we’re adding to our carts:

If platforms just aren’t your thing or you just want a different style option, the Vista Hi-Energy is the perfect everyday slide. These slippers feature a mix of cushion and arch support in the footbed with a much smaller platform at just 1.75 inches. They are available in six different colors, including bright pink and white.

Sizing available: 5-12

Whatever you’re working on this summer, having these sandals on hand will go a long way, thanks to the built-in cushioning. It certainly doesn’t hurt that they’re cute AF, too. Get ready to be showered with compliments.
