Reef's Number One Sandal, Sized for Little Feet

The Little Ahi is Reef's top-selling sandal built specifically for kids. Skip the break-in period entirely: the soft, cushiony EVA footbed cradles little feet from the first wear, while a molded EVA gasket on top keeps the foot settled and centered. A water-friendly synthetic thong strap with super soft padded jersey lining eliminates the toe-post rub that plagues so many kids' flip flops, and the adjustable back strap locks the sandal on so it won't get swallowed by sand or surf.

Construction Built for Kids on the Move

Every component is chosen for durability and comfort in wet, sandy environments. The injection-molded EVA footbed resists water absorption so the sandal dries fast and stays light. The contoured footbed shape provides natural arch support and stability underfoot rather than a flat slab. The non-marking injection-molded EVA outsole grips pool decks, boat docks, and beach boardwalks without scuffing. The entire sandal is PVC-free.

Reef Heritage Behind the Brand

Reef was founded by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who grew up surfing in South America and moved to Southern California to build a sandal brand rooted in beach culture. Since their first production run in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1984, Reef has held a leadership position in open-toe footwear. The Little Ahi carries that same philosophy forward for the next generation of beach kids.

Care and Maintenance

Rinse with fresh water after beach or pool use to remove salt and sand. The water-resistant EVA construction means the footbed will not soak through, but a quick rinse and air dry extends the life of the straps and lining. Avoid prolonged direct heat exposure, which can warp EVA foam.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Reef Little Ahi sandals true to size for kids?
Reef Little Ahi sandals are designed to fit true to kids' sizing. The adjustable back strap allows some fit customization for narrow or wider feet. Check the variant picker for available sizes and use the size printed on the outsole as a reference when comparing to your child's current footwear.
Are the Reef Little Ahi sandals good for water and the beach?
Yes. The Little Ahi is built specifically for wet environments. The injection-molded EVA footbed resists water absorption, the synthetic straps dry quickly, and the non-marking outsole grips wet surfaces without leaving marks. They are a practical choice for pool decks, boat trips, and beach days.
What is the difference between the Reef Little Ahi and a standard flip flop?
The key difference is the adjustable back strap. Unlike a standard flip flop that relies solely on toe grip, the Little Ahi adds a heel strap that keeps the sandal secure on active kids. The contoured EVA footbed and padded jersey lining on the strap also provide noticeably more comfort than a flat flip flop.
Are the Reef Little Ahi sandals convertible?
The Reef Little Ahi features a fixed thong toe post and an adjustable back strap. The back strap can be worn around the heel for a secure fit or left loose for a slip-on style, giving it some convertible-like versatility for kids who prefer both options.
How do I clean Reef flip flops or sandals?
Rinse the Little Ahi with fresh water after beach or pool use to remove salt, sand, and chlorine. The EVA footbed and synthetic straps are water-resistant and dry quickly. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and a soft brush, then air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
Are the Reef Little Ahi sandals PVC-free?
Yes. Reef designates the Little Ahi as a PVC-free sandal. Both the EVA footbed and EVA outsole are produced without PVC materials.
