Reef Cushion Tradewind Mens Sandal
The Softest Slide Reef Has Ever Made
The Reef Cushion Tradewind is built around one idea: maximum underfoot comfort with zero fuss. Reef's most cushioned footbed to date blends plush sink-in softness with just enough rebound to keep you energized from the first step to the last. Slip on, adjust, go.
Built on 40-plus years of open-toe heritage that traces back to Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, the entrepreneur brothers who launched Reef in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1984 and made the brand synonymous with beach-ready footwear, the Cushion Tradewind carries that DNA into a modern two-strap slide format.
Construction and Materials
Adjustable Molded EVA Straps
Two wide straps are molded from EVA and lined with a soft textile. The adjustable closure lets you dial the fit across the instep and forefoot independently, so the sandal stays secure whether you are walking the boardwalk, heading into the shop, or spending all day on your feet.
Cushion Footbed
Reef engineered this footbed to hit the ideal balance between cushioning and responsive support. It is deep enough to cradle the foot and firm enough to push back, avoiding the dead, compressed feel that plagues lesser foam slides over time.
Injection EVA Outsole
The outsole is injection-molded EVA, keeping the entire sandal lightweight while delivering durability underfoot. The construction resists the heavy, waterlogged feel of rubber-soled alternatives and stays comfortable across long wear sessions.
Who the Reef Tradewind Sandal Is Built For
This is the slide for the guy who wants genuine comfort without sacrificing a clean, versatile look. The Cushion Tradewind works post-surf, post-session at the gym, around town, or anywhere you want a sandal that adjusts to your foot rather than forcing your foot to adapt to it. Island Water Sports carries the Reef Cushion Tradewind in store and online in South Florida.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Reef Cushion Tradewind different from a standard slide?
- The Cushion Tradewind uses Reef's most comfortable footbed to date, combining deep cushioning with rebound support, and adds two independently adjustable molded EVA straps lined with soft textile. That combination of tunable fit and premium underfoot feel sets it apart from basic single-strap slides.
- How does the Reef Tradewind sandal fit?
- The dual adjustable straps let you customize the fit across both the instep and forefoot, so the sandal conforms to your foot rather than the other way around. If you are between sizes, check the variant picker for the options we carry.
- Is the Reef Tradewind a slide or a flip flop?
- The Reef Cushion Tradewind is a slide sandal. It has a closed heel and two wide adjustable straps over the forefoot and instep, with no toe post.
- How does the Reef Tradewind compare to the Reef Oasis?
- Both are Reef slide sandals, but the Cushion Tradewind features two independently adjustable molded EVA straps and Reef's highest-cushion footbed, giving it a more customizable fit and more substantial underfoot support than a standard single-strap Oasis slide.
- Can I wear the Reef Cushion Tradewind in water?
- The EVA construction is water-friendly and will not deteriorate from exposure to water. The textile strap liner may take longer to dry than the EVA itself, so they are best suited for casual beach and poolside use rather than extended water activities.
- Where can I buy the Reef Cushion Tradewind?
- The Reef Cushion Tradewind is available at Island Water Sports in store and online. Use the variant picker above to select your option and add to cart.
- What is Reef's heritage and where are Reef sandals made?
- Reef was founded by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who launched production in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1984. The brand built its reputation making high-quality open-toe footwear rooted in surf and beach culture, a tradition carried forward in the Cushion Tradewind.
