the REEF story
In 1984, brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre founded REEF out of their love for the beach and surfing. They wanted to make high-quality, ultra-comfortable products that fit their lifestyle—so they created sandals that could effortlessly take them from the beach to the streets and everywhere in between. Today, REEF sandals are more than just a footwear choice. It’s a pursuit of the REEF DREAM.
Our Impact Initiatives Since1984
The beach has been the heart and soul of REEF. We believe the beach is where fun and freedom come to life and that there is a deep connection between our well-being and our beaches. We are dedicated to protecting our ocean, preserving our reefs, and continuing to create access to the spirit of the beach.
Natural materials
We use materials like cotton, jute, genuine cork, and wood elements to craft a product derived from elements of nature.
Eco-foams
A percentage of recycled content is in our EVA and rubber compounds. In addition we added a bio-based EVA derived from renewable sugar cane sourced in Brazil to our midsoles.
Responsibly sourced leathers
100% of our leathers and suedes are from tanneries with gold or silver ratings with a majority being ISA lite (low impact to the environment) leathers.
