I've been relying on Reef's comfortable sandals to cushion my feet through the summer months for longer than I can remember, but this fall, I tested out a pair of the brand's Neptune Alana sneakers—and I can't believe it took me so long. Now that I have, though, I'll definitely be wearing them on repeat. And, in fact, I love them *so* much that I scored PureWow readers an exclusive discount to save 15 percent on them (and the rest of the Reef site!) with code PUREWOW15 from now through Dec. 16. Here's what you need to know.

Reef's Neptune Alana sneakers are easily the most lightweight pair of sneakers I've ever owned. They're made from a breathable textile upper fabric (which is available in white, black and light blue color options) that's plenty flexible, too.

I also love that they're designed with fixed laces so I never have to worry about them coming undone while I'm out and about. But the real standout? The cushioned, quilted footbed with built-in arch support. This honestly makes all the difference for me when it comes to being able to wear these kicks for hours on end. I'm already debating going back for another color because they're just that comfy, and even after wearing them for everything from days out window shopping to long walks with my dog, I've never experienced any chafing or blisters (and that almost never happens when I'm breaking in new shoes).

Obviously, I highly recommend picking up a pair of these sneakers for yourself, especially while you can save on them with code PUREWOW15. And, honestly, I'd take advantage of the savings (the code works sitewide, after all!) to snag some winter-ready boots or even stock up on sandals for your next vacay while you're at it.
