Finding the Perfect Beach Sandals

Everyone knows that having the right footwear is an essential part of any holiday or trip to the beach. So,
once you’ve gathered all the essentials, make sure you have a pair of beach-ready sandals ready to slip on.

1. What to look for in beach-ready sandals

The best beach sandals are versatile–they are made with water-friendly materials, feature stylish designs, comfortable, and durable. Between loading up your car with the essentials, trekking down to the beach, and protecting your feet from the hot sand, you need a dependable and supportive pair of sandals that can keep upwith all the excitement of a beach day.

Beach sandals should dry quickly to prevent irritation, and help you traverse over any surface from rocks, sand, and pavements comfortably. But you shouldn’t have to compromise on style, either.

When you shop at Reef UK, you can find sandals that offer both optimal performance and comfort, plus they’re made with trendy and stylish designs that you can wear on and off the beach.

 

2. Stylish REEF Women's Platform Sandals

Platform sandals are the pinnacle of summer beach style. This fashion-forward footwear choice may seem
like it’s all for looks, but the chunky platform offers added bounce, rebound, and protection while navigating the beach.

Water Vista Higher

The Water Vista Higher sandal is a visual show-stopper, though features practical design elements like an added lug design on the outsole for extra durability and traction. Made from flexible and water-friendly materials with an adjustable Velcro closure and lightweight compression moulded EVA footbed for a super soft and bouncy feel. Available in 7 different colourways.

3. Flat Sandals for a Trendy Look

Platform sandals aren’t for everyone, so flatforms are another option for beachgoers who want to feel fashionable and stylish but still enjoy all the functionality and versatility that a good beach sandal needs.

The Water Vista sandal is a versatile beach footwear option that is quick to dry but still comfy when wet. Made with a fashion-forward design and espadrille-inspired texture that looks great in any setting. Available in 4 colourways
