Reef Cross-Shore Mens Sandal
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for Sport Mode, Designed for All-Day Comfort
The Reef Cross-Shore is a men's active sandal built for those who refuse to slow down. Wide, cushioned straps made from recycled materials wrap the foot and dial in a secure, adjustable fit that stays put whether you're moving between the beach, festival grounds, or a coastal trail. The straps are padded and hook-and-loop adjustable, giving you a locked-in feel without sacrificing the ease of a sandal.
Sugarcane EVA Footbed with Topographic Contouring
The footbed is constructed from bio-based sugarcane EVA, a plant-derived foam that delivers responsive cushioning underfoot. The contoured shape is inspired by topographic maps, with molded ridges and channels that provide targeted arch support and cradle the foot through long days of activity. The result is a footbed that actively supports your stride rather than simply cushioning it.
Lugged Outsole for Wet and Uneven Terrain
A chunky lugged rubber outsole gives the Cross-Shore real traction on wet surfaces, boat decks, pool surrounds, and uneven terrain. The multi-layer midsole adds height and shock absorption, making this sandal a genuine hybrid between a sport sandal and a light trail shoe.
Bio-Based Materials and Reef's 30-Year Heritage
Reef was founded by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who launched the brand out of a passion for surf and beach culture, establishing production in Sao Paulo, Brazil in 1984. The Cross-Shore continues that legacy with a commitment to bio-based and recycled materials, including the sugarcane EVA construction and recycled strap webbing. Every material choice reflects Reef's ongoing effort to reduce the footprint of the products they build while maintaining the performance their customers expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Reef sandals waterproof?
- The Reef Cross-Shore is built for wet environments. The lugged rubber outsole provides grip on wet surfaces, and the synthetic recycled-material straps are not damaged by water. The sandal is designed for beach, pool, and waterfront use, though it is an open sandal rather than a sealed waterproof shoe.
- Are Reef shoes good for walking all day?
- Yes. The Cross-Shore is built with a bio-based sugarcane EVA footbed featuring topographic contouring and arch support specifically designed to keep you comfortable through long periods of wear. The cushioned, adjustable straps reduce friction and hold the foot securely.
- What is the Reef Cross-Shore sandal good for?
- The Cross-Shore is a sport lifestyle sandal suited to active beach days, tropical travel, outdoor festivals, and any situation where you need more support than a flip-flop but prefer the open feel of a sandal. The lugged outsole extends its range to light trails and wet surfaces.
- What materials are the Reef Cross-Shore straps made from?
- The adjustable cushioned straps are made from recycled materials. This is part of Reef's broader commitment to bio-based and nature-derived construction, which also includes the sugarcane EVA footbed.
- How do the straps on the Reef Cross-Shore adjust?
- The Cross-Shore uses hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) adjustable strap closures. This allows you to fine-tune the fit across the forefoot and ankle independently, securing the sandal to your foot without the need to unlace or buckle.
- Where can I buy Reef Cross-Shore sandals near me?
- The Reef Cross-Shore Mens Sandal is available at Island Water Sports in South Florida, as well as online at islandwatersports.com with shipping direct to your door.
- What is Reef's brand history?
- Reef was founded in 1984 by brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, who moved from South America to Southern California to build a high-quality active lifestyle sandal brand rooted in surf and beach culture. They set up production in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and built Reef into a leader in open-toe footwear over 30 years.
