Reef Ojai Boys Sandal
Inspired by the adult Ojai Two Bar, the Reef Ojai Boys Sandal brings grown-up style to kids footwear without sacrificing a minute of comfort. Authentic suede uppers give the sandal a premium look that holds up through full days at the beach, boardwalk, or backyard. A soft jersey lining means young feet slide in and feel at home instantly, while an elastic back strap locks the fit in place without fuss. This is the sandal your kid reaches for first.
Construction and Materials
Authentic Suede Upper
The upper is cut from genuine suede sourced from LWG Gold or Silver certified tanneries, meaning the leather meets rigorous environmental and social standards before it ever reaches the shoe. The two-strap silhouette mirrors the proportions of the adult Ojai Two Bar, so kids get a sandal that looks intentional, not like an afterthought.
Soft Jersey Lining
A jersey lining wraps the footbed for immediate comfort, eliminating the break-in period that makes new sandals a chore. The material stays soft session after session and works with the natural movement of a kid's foot.
Elastic Back Strap
The elastic back strap is the practical detail that makes this sandal work in real life. It stretches to let kids slip in and out independently, then snaps back to hold the heel securely. No buckle fumbling, no loose heel slap.
Compression EVA Outsole and Rubber Grip
A compression EVA outsole cushions each step, absorbing impact on hard surfaces like sidewalks and pool decks. The rubber outsole underneath adds traction on wet and dry ground, keeping active kids upright when momentum takes over.
Reef Heritage
Reef's 30-year heritage was born from an idea by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who moved from South America to Southern California with a vision for a high-quality active lifestyle sandal. Production launched in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1984, producing the iconic open-toe silhouette that made Reef the leader in beach footwear. The Ojai carries that same founding intention into a next-generation design built for the way kids actually move.
Sustainability
The suede used in the Ojai Boys Sandal is sustainably sourced from LWG (Leather Working Group) Gold or Silver certified tanneries. LWG certification tracks and audits environmental compliance, chemical management, and social accountability throughout the leather supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Reef Ojai Boys Sandal inspired by?
- The Reef Ojai Boys Sandal is directly inspired by the adult Ojai Two Bar silhouette, translating the same two-strap design and authentic suede construction into a kids shoe.
- What is LWG certified suede?
- LWG stands for Leather Working Group, an industry body that audits tanneries for environmental compliance, chemical management, and social responsibility. The suede in the Reef Ojai Boys Sandal comes from tanneries that have earned LWG Gold or Silver certification, indicating a higher standard of sustainable leather production.
- How does the elastic back strap work?
- The elastic back strap stretches to allow easy on and off, then contracts to hold the heel firmly in place during wear. It gives kids a secure fit without requiring buckle adjustments.
- Is the Reef Ojai Boys Sandal good for water and wet surfaces?
- The rubber outsole provides traction on both wet and dry surfaces, making it well suited for pool decks, beaches, and other wet environments. The suede upper is not designed for prolonged submersion, so it is best as a water-adjacent sandal rather than an in-water shoe.
- What is Reef's return policy?
- Return and exchange policies are set by Island Water Sports. Contact the team in store or online for current return policy details on Reef footwear purchases.
- How do I care for suede sandals?
- Brush suede gently with a dry suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. Avoid soaking the uppers in water and keep away from direct heat when drying. A suede protector spray applied before first use helps repel water and light stains.
