Reef Water X Slide Womens Sandal

Built for the Water, Styled for the Day
The Reef Water X Slide is a waterproof pool-to-brunch slide sandal built entirely from sugarcane EVA. Every surface from the cross straps to the footbed to the outsole uses injection-molded sugarcane EVA, giving you a lightweight, water-friendly sandal that dries fast and holds up through full beach days. Reef drew on its 30-plus years of open-toe footwear heritage to shape a slide that moves as comfortably as it looks.
Espadrille-Inspired EVA Construction
The cross straps are injection-molded from waterproof EVA with an espadrille rope-inspired woven texture pressed into the surface. That same woven detailing carries through the footbed perimeter and sidewall, giving the slide a refined, tactile look that sets it apart from a plain pool slide. The Reef logo is embossed on the strap, visible in the clean cross-strap profile that fits snugly across the forefoot without buckles or hardware to catch or corrode.
Sugarcane EVA Footbed
The single-density, injection-molded sugarcane EVA footbed delivers a balanced blend of cushion and durability. Espadrille details are pressed throughout the footbed surface, extending the woven aesthetic underfoot while providing light texture for grip. Sugarcane-derived EVA is a plant-based alternative to petroleum-sourced foams and is lighter than conventional EVA, so the slide stays easy on your feet for extended wear.
Non-Marking Outsole
The outsole is also injection-molded sugarcane EVA. The non-marking formulation means you can move from pool decks and boat decks to tiled floors without leaving scuffs, making the Water X Slide a practical everyday companion as well as a beach bag essential.
Reef Brand Heritage
Reef was founded in 1984 by Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, brothers from South America who moved to Southern California to build a high-quality active lifestyle sandal brand rooted in surf culture. Production began in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where the iconic Reef sandal that defined the open-toe footwear category was first made. The Water X Slide carries that foundation forward with modern sustainable materials and the clean, versatile silhouettes Reef is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Reef Water X Slide sandals waterproof?
- Yes. The Water X Slide is built entirely from injection-molded sugarcane EVA, including the straps, footbed, and outsole, making the sandal fully waterproof and quick-drying for pool, beach, and water use.
- What is sugarcane EVA and why does Reef use it?
- Sugarcane EVA is a plant-derived ethylene-vinyl acetate foam made from sugarcane ethanol rather than petroleum. It is lighter than conventional EVA, produces a lower carbon footprint during manufacturing, and delivers the same cushioning and durability performance. Reef uses it throughout the Water X Slide in the straps, footbed, and outsole.
- What is the espadrille texture on the Reef Water X Slide?
- The espadrille rope-inspired texture is pressed directly into the injection-molded EVA during manufacturing. It appears on the cross straps, around the footbed perimeter, and along the outsole sidewall, giving the slide a woven, textile-like look without any actual fabric or rope that could absorb water or degrade.
- Is the Reef Water X Slide a good pool slide?
- Yes. The all-EVA construction means it repels water, dries almost instantly, and will not rust or degrade from repeated exposure to chlorine or salt water. The non-marking outsole also keeps pool decks and boat decks scuff-free.
- How do I clean Reef Water X Slide sandals?
- Rinse the sandals with fresh water after beach or pool use. For deeper cleaning, wipe the straps and footbed with a damp cloth and mild soap, then air dry. Avoid leaving them in direct high heat for extended periods, which can warp EVA foam.
- Where can I buy Reef womens slides?
- Island Water Sports carries Reef slides and sandals both in store in South Florida and online at islandwatersports.com. For in-store inquiries call 954-427-4929.
- What is Reef's brand history?
- Reef was founded in 1984 by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who moved from South America to Southern California to create a premium active lifestyle sandal rooted in surf culture. They began production in Sao Paulo, Brazil, building Reef into the leading open-toe footwear brand over the following decades.
