I’ve spent many summers admiring sandals from afar. My feet are often just too wide to fit into sandal straps, and I have a high instep — a double whammy that makes cute shoe shopping difficult. After pregnancy, I swear my instep became even higher (mark that down as things I didn’t know could happen). Thankfully, REEF offers shoes I can actually fit into. For Memorial Day, you can get one pair of shoes — sandals or otherwise — for 20% off, or 30% off if you order two or more.

Reef Water Vista Higher Sandals
I love the Water Vista Higher sandals, which come in nice neutrals and gorgeous colors like lavender and red. The footbed is super cushy and despite being platforms, they’re very light. The strap isn’t made from stretchy elastic, but there’s enough give to allow wider feet to fit comfortably.
Though all the brand’s shoes are roomier than normal, I also tried the Vista Luxe Siaa, which is part of REEF’s wide-width collection. The footbed is wider, but I found the strap to be a bit tighter because of my high instep. Overall, the Water Vistas are a bit easier to stretch into for that reason, but normal instep havers shouldn’t have an issue.

REEF was born from beach-loving brothers who wanted shoes that worked on sand or pavement. The brand is dedicated to preserving that beach and ocean. It works with conservation groups Observe and Conserve, Better Beach Alliance, and Urban Surf 4 Kids, mapping and conserving reefs, cleaning up beaches, and helping foster and at-risk kids find solace in the ocean, respectively. Its shoes, from sandals to sneakers, are crafted from natural materials, responsibly-sourced leather, and EVA derived from renewable sugar canes.
