REEF Women's Cushion Vista Higher Slide - Comfortable (Style 89HP)

In this review of the REEF Women's Cushion Vista Higher Slide the bottom line is simple: these slides are for people who want a chunky, comfortable platform sandal that still works with casual outfits. The single biggest reason to buy is the footbed - Reef's most comfortable construction delivers noticeable cushion and rebound with generous arch support, so these feel supportive for walking and standing. The review tests fit, comfort and everyday versatility, noting the two-strap vegan upper and the distinctive 2.5in lugged platform that gives height without feeling fragile.

Key Features

• Upper: Super soft unlined PVC free vegan leather straps give a smooth, lowmaintenance look that avoids breakin discomfort.
• Footbed: The cushioned footbed blends rebound and padding with wider shaping and heel cupping for allday support.
• Outsole: A chunky lug EVA outsole provides lightweight durability and traction while maintaining a 2.5in platform silhouette.
• Height: The exaggerated notch detail and 2.5in platform add visible lift and a fashionable chunky profile without sacrificing stability.
• Warranty: Covered by a manufacturer defect policy for up to one year, offering reassurance on construction flaws.

Who It's For

These slides suit women who want a mix of comfort and elevated style - think weekend errands, short walks, beach town lunches, or pairing with jeans and summer dresses. The wider footbed and arch support make them a sensible choice for shoppers prioritizing daytime comfort over minimalist flats.

Shoppers who need narrow, highly structured straps or who prefer a low-profile, athletic sandal might look elsewhere. Also, those seeking an ultra-light barefoot feel should consider lighter, flatter options since the 2.5in platform is intentionally chunky.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very comfortable footbed with a balance of cushion and rebound that supports longer wear.
• Stylish chunky platform and lugged outsole give extra height and a modern look without feeling unstable.
• Vegan leather upper is soft and unlined, reducing breakin time and maintenance needs.
• Generous arch support and heel cupping improve walking comfort compared with many slides.

Cons

• Some customers report the straps feel large or run big in fit, so strap fit may vary by foot shape.
• The chunky 2.5in platform is heavier than minimalist slides and may not suit those wanting a barefoot feel.
