Reef Tailslide Men's Slide Sandal
The Reef Tailslide is a streamlined slip-on slide built for the transition between water and land. A wide single-band upper spans the forefoot and slides on and off without fuss, making it the go-to sandal for the beach, pool deck, or anywhere you want serious comfort with zero effort.
Wide Strap, Clean Fit
The single-band upper is cut wide to distribute pressure evenly across the top of the foot, preventing the pinching that narrower straps can cause after a long day on your feet. A perforated Reef logo badge sits at the lateral forefoot, adding a subtle ventilation detail that keeps the upper from feeling heavy in warm conditions.
Molded Footbed and Outsole
The chunky, sculpted outsole is molded as a single unit with the footbed, delivering underfoot cushioning from heel to toe. The marbled surface pattern visible through the sole construction is both a design element and a sign of the layered foam build that gives the Tailslide its cushioned ride. The outsole profile is rounded at the edges for a smooth, natural stride from step to step.
Reef Heritage
Reef was founded in 1984 by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who moved from South America to Southern California to bring their vision of a high-quality active-lifestyle sandal to market. Production began in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the brand quickly became a leader in open-toe footwear. The Tailslide carries that 30-year heritage forward in a modern, minimal slide format built for today's beach and surf lifestyle.
