Refined Style, Sustainable Construction
The Reef Pacific Joy Womens Sandal brings together elevated design and responsible materials in a sandal built for all-day wear. PVC-free vegan leather straps form a distinctive double split-strap silhouette that delivers sophistication without sacrificing the ease of an open-toe sandal. A gold-tone rivet at the strap junction adds a polished finishing detail visible from across the room.
Reef has been crafting open-toe footwear since 1984, when brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre moved to Southern California and set up production in Sao Paulo, Brazil to build the active lifestyle sandal that defined the brand. The Pacific Joy carries that 30-year heritage forward with modern sustainable materials and a refined silhouette designed for women who move between the beach and everyday life.
Pacific Sandal Footbed and Outsole
The footbed starts with a natural cork base that conforms and molds over time, topped with a high-character vegan leather cover that delivers all-day support and cushioning. Beneath it, a super soft compression-molded EVA layer absorbs impact and keeps each step light. The outsole is a non-marking rubber cupsole whose tread pattern draws direct inspiration from California palm trees, providing traction and durability on a wide range of surfaces without marking floors.
Sustainable Materials
The Pacific Joy is built with environmental accountability at every touchpoint. The straps are PVC-free vegan leather. The toe post is made from 100% recycled PET derived from post-consumer plastic bottles, diverting single-use plastic from the waste stream without compromising the structural integrity of the thong post. The natural cork footbed is a renewable material that gets more comfortable with use as it takes on the shape of the wearer's foot.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Reef Pacific Joy sandal made of?
- The Pacific Joy features PVC-free vegan leather straps in a double split-strap design, a natural cork and compression-molded EVA footbed with a vegan leather cover, a recycled PET toe post made from post-consumer plastic bottles, and a non-marking rubber cupsole with a palm tree-inspired tread.
- Do the straps stretch out with regular use?
- The PVC-free vegan leather straps on the Pacific Joy are designed to hold their shape with regular wear. The double strap construction distributes pressure across two contact points, which reduces the stress on any single strap and helps the sandal maintain its fit over time.
- Are Reef Pacific Joy sandals true to size?
- Reef sandals are generally sized to standard US women's sizing. The cork and EVA footbed does mold lightly to the foot over time, which can refine the fit with wear. Use the variant picker to select your size.
- Is the Reef Pacific Joy a flip flop or a sandal?
- The Pacific Joy is a thong-style sandal with a toe post and a double split-strap upper. It shares the easy on-and-off convenience of a flip flop but features a more structured double-strap silhouette and a substantial cork-EVA footbed for greater support and style.
- How do I care for the Reef Pacific Joy?
- Rinse the sandal with fresh water after beach or pool use and allow it to air dry away from direct prolonged heat sources. Wipe the vegan leather straps clean with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging the cork footbed for extended periods to preserve its shape and integrity.
- When was Reef founded and where are they from?
- Reef was founded in 1984 by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who came from South America and built the brand from Southern California. They established production in Sao Paulo, Brazil, producing the iconic open-toe sandal that made Reef the leader in the category.
