Reef Kids Windswell Boys Sandal
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built on 40 Years of Beach-Brand Craft
Reef has been shaping the standard for open-toe footwear since Fernando and Santiago Aguerre launched the brand in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1984. The brothers moved to Southern California to grow the brand and brought a genuine love of surf and beach culture into every sandal they made. The Reef Kids Windswell carries that same lineage into a foot-friendly flip-flop sized for boys who live at the beach.
What Makes the Windswell Worth Wearing
The Windswell is a classic thong-style sandal built for everyday wear in and around the water. The multi-panel strap features woven textile panels alongside smooth synthetic trim and a raised Reef logo badge at the toe post connection, giving it a clean, sporty look. The footbed is cushioned EVA that contours underfoot, keeping kids comfortable from the car ride to the shore and back. The outsole carries a traction-patterned rubber perimeter that grips wet surfaces, a key feature for poolside use and beach ramp areas.
Reef Heritage and Why It Matters
Reef was one of the first brands to treat the sandal as serious footwear rather than a throwaway summer accessory. Their 40-plus years of focused development on fit, durability, and beach-specific performance means a Reef sandal holds up to the kind of use kids actually put sandals through: saltwater, sand, concrete, and chlorine. The Windswell is the entry point to that heritage at a straightforward price.
Fit and Wear
The Windswell fits true to standard youth sizing. The toe post and strap system holds the foot securely without rubbing, and the low-profile silhouette keeps the sandal from feeling bulky. Easy to slip on and off, it is a practical choice for beach days, summer camps, and any outing where kids need a sandal they can live in.
