Reef Cushion Slim: Classic Comfort, Refined Style
The Reef Cushion Slim takes everything that made the original Cushion flip flop a go-to for beach and beyond, then elevates it with a slim, refined strap. Delicate gold embroidery detail stitching catches the light while the vegan leather construction keeps the sandal animal-friendly. The result is a flip flop that goes from the shore to lunch without missing a beat.
Footbed and Cushioning
Reef's signature Cushion footbed is built around a high-energy rebound foam that returns energy with every step rather than compressing flat over the course of the day. The foam is memory-free by design, which means it rebounds instantly instead of slowly recovering like memory foam. Underfoot, slim modern contouring shapes the footbed to match the natural curve of a woman's foot, with built-in anatomical arch support and a cupped heel zone that keeps the foot centered and reduces fatigue on longer walks.
Strap Construction
The slim thong strap is constructed from vegan leather, giving it a smooth, soft feel against the skin. Gold embroidery detail stitching runs along the strap, adding a subtle decorative accent that dresses the sandal up without making it fussy. The slim profile sits low across the foot for a barely-there look that pairs with everything from board shorts to sundresses.
Outsole
A high-density rubber sponge outsole provides grip and durability on wet and dry surfaces. The outsole is lightweight enough that the sandal stays easy to wear all day, and the Reef logo is debossed at the heel for a clean branded finish.
Reef Heritage
Reef was founded in 1984 by Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, two brothers from South America with a passion for surf and beach culture. They launched production in Sao Paulo, Brazil, producing the iconic sandal that established Reef as a leader in open-toe footwear. Over 30 years later, that commitment to quality and beach-lifestyle design runs through every product in the lineup, including the Cushion Slim.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes the Reef Cushion Slim different from a standard flip flop?
- The Cushion Slim combines a slimmed-down vegan leather thong strap with gold embroidery detail stitching and Reef's high-energy rebound footbed. The memory-free foam rebounds instantly with each step, and the anatomical arch support with heel cupping gives it significantly more structure and comfort underfoot than a basic flip flop.
- Is the Reef Cushion Slim vegan?
- Yes. The strap is made from vegan leather, so no animal-derived materials are used in its construction.
- What does 'memory-free' foam mean for the footbed?
- Memory foam softens and compresses slowly before springing back. The Cushion Slim's footbed uses memory-free rebound foam, which returns to its original shape instantly with each stride. This means consistent cushioning throughout the day rather than a footbed that feels flattened by midday.
- Are these sandals suitable for all-day wear?
- Yes. The anatomical arch support, heel cupping, and high-energy rebound foam work together to reduce foot fatigue, making the Cushion Slim a strong choice for extended wear whether you are on the beach, running errands, or going out.
- Can I get the Reef Cushion Slim in store at Island Water Sports?
- Yes. The Cushion Slim is available both in store and online at Island Water Sports. Use the variant picker on this page to check what is currently in stock online.
- How do I care for the vegan leather strap?
- Rinse the sandal with fresh water after saltwater or sand exposure and allow it to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid prolonged submersion. Wiping the strap with a damp cloth removes most surface dirt.
- What is the outsole made of and how does it grip wet surfaces?
- The outsole is a high-density rubber sponge, which provides grip on both wet and dry surfaces. It is lightweight enough for all-day wear and durable enough for the range of conditions you encounter going from beach to boardwalk.
