Reef Vista Higher Raya Womens Sandal
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built to Move Between the Beach and the Street
The Reef Vista Higher Raya is an urban evolution of the Water Vista Higher silhouette. It takes Reef's 30-year heritage of open-toe craftsmanship and translates it into a platform sandal designed for women who move between the shore and the city without changing shoes. A sporty upper construction meets a bold, ridged platform to deliver a sandal that looks elevated and feels supported all day long.
Upper and Closure
The forefoot strap is constructed from a super soft synthetic material with a padded interior, reducing pressure across the top of the foot. A polyester lining keeps the footbed contact surface smooth and comfortable. The ankle strap features an adjustable hook-and-loop closure so you can dial in the fit precisely, with no break-in period required. The open, round toe silhouette gives your foot room to breathe.
Platform and Cushioning
The defining feature of the Vista Higher Raya is the bold, ridged platform. The compression-molded EVA outsole provides the structural foundation for the platform profile while keeping the overall weight light. Beneath your foot, a cushy EVA footbed delivers shock absorption and all-day cushioning. The corrugated outsole profile visible along the platform edge adds both visual definition and surface grip.
Reef Heritage
Reef was founded by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who launched production in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1984 with the goal of creating a high-quality active lifestyle sandal rooted in surf and beach culture. That original commitment to open-toe construction and wearable comfort has carried forward into every sandal Reef makes, including the Vista Higher Raya.
Where to Wear It
The Vista Higher Raya is designed to go wherever you go. The platform provides height and style suitable for going out, while the EVA cushioning and secure hook-and-loop closure handle the demands of longer wear. Shop the Vista Higher Raya in store and online at Island Water Sports.
