Reef Water Scout Womens Sandal
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Water, Styled for Everywhere
The Reef Water Scout is a women's slide sandal that moves seamlessly from pool deck to boardwalk without missing a beat. Every component is injection-molded from sugarcane EVA, making the sandal fully waterproof and quick-drying while cutting its environmental footprint. The wide single-strap silhouette slips on easily and the espadrille rope-inspired woven texture gives it a relaxed, resort-ready look that works just as well at a casual brunch as it does at the water's edge.
Construction and Materials
Upper
The strap is injection-molded from waterproof sugarcane EVA with a raised herringbone weave pattern that references classic espadrille rope detail. It sits across the forefoot with enough coverage to keep the foot secure during casual movement while staying open enough for all-day breathability.
Footbed
A single-density, injection-molded sugarcane EVA footbed delivers a cushioned, slightly soft underfoot feel. Subtle espadrille-inspired detail runs throughout the footbed surface, tying the aesthetic together from sole to strap. The footbed provides a balanced blend of cushion for comfort and firmness for support.
Outsole
The non-marking injection-molded sugarcane EVA outsole completes the one-material construction. Because the entire sandal is EVA, water drains freely and the sandal dries quickly, making it practical around pools, showers, and beach access paths.
Sugarcane EVA and Sustainability
All three components, the strap, footbed, and outsole, are made with sugarcane EVA. Sugarcane-derived EVA uses a bio-based feedstock that reduces reliance on petroleum-based materials compared to conventional EVA foam. The result is a sandal that performs the same as a standard slide but carries a lighter production footprint.
Reef Heritage
Reef was founded in 1984 by Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, brothers from South America who combined a love of surf and beach culture with a commitment to quality open-toe footwear. Production started in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the brand built its reputation on sandals that held up at the beach and looked right anywhere outside it. Over 30 years later that foundation still drives every model Reef makes, including the Water Scout.
Where It Fits
The Water Scout is purpose-built for pool decks, beach access, resort walkways, and any casual setting where a waterproof slide makes more sense than a sneaker. It transitions easily into everyday wear, from quick errands to outdoor dining, without looking out of place. The fully molded construction means no fabric to saturate and no sole layers to delaminate when wet.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Reef Water Scout sandals waterproof?
- Yes. The Water Scout is constructed entirely from injection-molded sugarcane EVA, including the strap, footbed, and outsole, making the sandal fully waterproof and quick-drying. It handles pools, showers, and wet beach surfaces without absorbing water.
- What is sugarcane EVA and why does Reef use it?
- Sugarcane EVA is a foam derived from a bio-based feedstock rather than conventional petroleum sources. Reef uses it across the Water Scout's upper, footbed, and outsole to reduce the sandal's production footprint while delivering the same cushion and durability as standard EVA foam.
- What does the Reef Water Scout feel like underfoot?
- The single-density sugarcane EVA footbed provides a cushioned, slightly soft feel with enough firmness to support the arch. It is designed for all-day comfort in casual settings like pool decks, resort walkways, and everyday errands.
- Can I wear the Reef Water Scout as an everyday sandal, not just at the beach?
- Yes. The Water Scout's espadrille-inspired woven texture and clean slide silhouette translate well beyond the water's edge. Reef designed it to move from poolside to casual outings without looking out of place.
- How do I care for the Reef Water Scout sandals?
- Rinse with fresh water after salt or chlorine exposure and allow to air dry out of direct sunlight. Because the entire sandal is EVA, there is no fabric lining or multi-layer sole to worry about; a quick rinse and dry is all the maintenance required.
