The Reef Women's Sandals, Cushion Slim offer a delightful combination of style and function. If you value fashion and comfort equally, you will appreciate the elegance of the embroidered gold detail that sets these flip flops apart from more basic designs. They seamlessly transition from beach outings to casual dinners, making them versatile.

User Reviews
I’ve owned several pairs of this sandal. I buy them over and over again. They are so cute, so comfortable and I wear them until they wear out.
I broke my ankle 4 months ago and am fairly recovered but definitely needed new flip flops with good arch support and solid soles. I live in flip flops and none of my old flops fit my still slightly swollen foot. These are Cushy, lightweight & nice arch support. I have always loved Flojo's and Reef brands for their quality and solid sole design. These are super cushy and have a great arch support - comfortable to wear all day.
These are really cute and the sole is comfortable, however, wearing them yesterday for a while and today for a 10-minute walk I could feel irritation with every step from the gold decorative stitching on the strap. This morning after just a 10-minute walk I have visible pink marks on my feet where the stitching is. Not sure I can return these now since I bought them in March. Note, I own two other Reef flip flops and absolutely love them, so its just this style that I'm rating low (the other styles are a 5)Update: one week after wearing these, I'm updating the rating to a 4. I had to cut back the knot/loose thread on the inside of the strap in an effort to minimize the rubbing from the gold thread decorative stitching. It's now no longer irritating my feet.
They discontinued these flip flops so I can only get them by third party. These are my favorite. Comfy and simple.
The sandals ran a bit small so I’m sending them back but as soon as I’m reimbursed for them I’m ordering them again in a size up! These sandals are freaking comfortable! And they’re very minimalist and at the same time pretty ! They also feel very well made can’t wait until my size comes in.Update: These were very comfortable and were my go to while they lasted. Sadly, they broke on me today while at the store. For $30 sandals and their brand, I expected them to last a whole lot longer. They lasted a total of 5 months:( Will not be re-buying. $30 is too expensive for sandals that only last 5 months. I rather go to target and buy some for $10 if they are going to be short lived.
I haven’t worn these sandals yet, but I’m a fan of reef merchandise so I’m pretty sure these will work out fine.
I was very excited about these when they arrived. They are cute, and the cushioned footbed is comfortable. However, the straps are terrible. The gold stitching rubs and irritates the top of my foot… what a terrible design!!! And, the straps are stiff and caused a huge sore! I’m on vacation and now my feet are terribly sore in any shoe. I’m going to have to find some bandages. Incredibly disappointed.
The between the toes strap on this style is too far back and makes them seem a lot smaller than my other Reef sandals (same size). They also feel tighter and I’m afraid the straps will eventually break rather than get comfier like the others. I will keep them but stick to my usually styles that have lasted years. Nice color and soft footbed though.
