Founded in 1984 by Argentine brothers Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, Reef has evolved from a passion project into a leading name in casual footwear. Their vision was to craft high-quality, ultra-comfortable sandals that seamlessly transition from beach to street, embodying the essence of a laid-back, beach-centric lifestyle. Today, Reef's commitment extends beyond footwear; the brand is dedicated to ocean conservation and preserving our beaches, recognizing the intrinsic link between well-being and coastal environments. Offering a wide variety of footwear — including sandals, slides, shoes, boots, and flip-flops — Reef delivers comfort and style for everything from beach strolls to everyday adventures, all while supporting environmental stewardship. That includes their women-specific Vista collection, which employs their signature footbed in styles and silhouettes like clogs, platform sandals, and slides that pair as well with a dress and a cocktail as they do with a swimsuit and sand.

As the thinnest Roborock yet, it easily navigates under furniture and into hard-to-reach spots. It has a dual anti-tangle system for dealing with hair and an industry-first AdaptiLift Chassis to easily tackle thresholds and obstacles up to 1.5" tall; the latter joins a liftable mop, main brush, and side brush to make this one of the most versatile cleaners on the market.
