Reef Water Willow Malibu Womens Sandal
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for the Beach by Reef
Reef has spent more than 30 years perfecting the open-toe sandal, and the Water Willow Malibu carries that legacy forward. Founded by Fernando and Santiago Aguerre with a single goal of making the finest active-lifestyle sandal on the planet, Reef brought serious craft to a category most brands treated as an afterthought. The Water Willow Malibu is the result: a clean, low-profile flip-flop that earns its place in the beach bag season after season.
Design and Construction
The Water Willow Malibu pairs a smooth, sculpted toe-post strap with a cushioned footbed that contours underfoot without bulk. The outsole is built to grip wet surfaces and handle the transition from sand to boardwalk without slipping. The silhouette is deliberately minimal so it pairs as easily with a cover-up as it does with casual shorts, making it a true go-anywhere warm-weather sandal.
Why Reef
Reef sandals are designed for people who spend real time in and around the water. The brand's roots in surf and beach culture mean every design detail is stress-tested against the demands of an active outdoor lifestyle, not just fashion. The Water Willow Malibu reflects that standard: simple where simplicity earns its keep, and durable where durability matters.
