Reef Kids

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes Reef kids' sandals good for beach and pool use?

  Reef kids' sandals are designed to be water-friendly with quick-dry synthetic straps, jersey-lined padding, and EVA footbeds that resist water absorption. Durable, non-marking rubber outsoles and easy-clean construction help maintain traction on wet surfaces without trapping sand or salt.
• How does the Kids' Fanning compare to the Little Ahi and the Salty Slide?

  The Kids' Fanning emphasizes plush cushioning with an EVA footbed and a heel airbag plus 100% recycled PET webbing for a secure, eco-minded strap. The Little Ahi keeps a classic thong silhouette with anatomic contouring and secure fit for active play, while the Salty Slide is a lightweight slide that’s easiest for quick on-and-off wear but offers a simpler strap for less locked-in support.
• How should I size Reef kids' sandals for infants, toddlers, and little kids?

  Sizes run by age group (infant, toddler, little kid), and model fit can vary, so check the specific size chart for each style; many families size up if the child is between sizes to allow growth. Look for adjustable or more forgiving strap designs (like slides) for wider feet and choose models with contoured footbeds (Ahi, Little Cushion Phantom) for a snug, supportive fit.
• Are Reef kids' sandals durable and easy to clean?

  Yes, most Reef kids' models use high-density EVA or cushioned EVA midsoles and durable rubber outsoles for abrasion resistance and traction, making them well-suited to sand, pool decks, and playground surfaces. The synthetic straps and quick-dry materials wipe clean easily and tolerate saltwater exposure without breaking down quickly.
• Which Reef kids' model is best for active kids who need extra support and traction?

  For active kids who run and climb, the Kids' Fanning or Little Cushion Phantom offer more underfoot cushioning and heel airbag support to absorb impact, combined with grippy rubber outsoles for traction. If you need an infant/toddler option that’s still durable, the Little Water Vista provides a flexible, contoured sole for early walkers while the Salty Slide is best reserved for quick, casual wear rather than high-impact play.
