Here's the thing: Now that I'm in my 30s, the one thing I'm simply unwilling to compromise on is uncomfortable footwear. You won't find me in 5-inch heels or anything without a soft footbed anymore, but what you will find me (and a slew of other PureWow editors) in is a bunch of Reef styles. From flip flops to comfy sneakers, the brand's shoes aren't just cute, but totally supportive, too. And because I love them so much, I went ahead and scored you an exclusive discount on *every pair* on Reef's site, just so you can try them for yourself. From now through Aug. 27, you can save 20 percent on all orders over $49 with code PUREWOW20 at checkout. Find five styles you'll definitely want to scoop up while this deal lasts below. (Feel free to thank me later.)

These strappy flip-flops are a new release from Reef, and let me tell you, they're *so* worth adding to your warm-weather footwear collection. It's hard to even describe just how squishy and comfy the footbed is (which is likely thanks to the air cushioning and enhanced arch support), and I'm obsessed with the raffia details on the midsole that give them a trendy touch. Not to mention, the vegan leather straps are super soft and the textured bottom provides good traction.

I've had these platform sandals for a few years now, and no matter how many times I wear them, they never disappoint. They give my feet the perfect amount of arch support, and I love the durable cork footbed that feels both cushioned and supportive. But the real bonus of these is the elastic strap at the back that can be adjusted to fit tighter or looser with the velcro attachment, so I could play around with it to get my perfect fit.

While I've long been a fan of Reef's sandals, this Neptune style was my first pair of the brand's sneakers, and I can't believe I didn't try them sooner. They have a unique design that lets you switch between wearing them traditionally and with the back folded down for a slip-on look, which I find particularly helpful on days I'm rushing out the door. Like other Reef designs I love, they offer great arch support, and the knit material is super light and breathable, so my feet stay comfy, even in hot weather.

When it comes to slide sandals, PureWow VP of Editorial Candace Davison is a big fan of the Cushion Vista Hi design. "The 1.75-inch platform and cork bottom provide ample cushioning. There’s a sense of springiness to them, offering a rebound that prevents my heels from aching, even when I’m on my feet all day," she shared in her full review of them. Tons of other Reef shoppers rave over them, too, and the style's become so popular that it's available in 28 different style and color options now.

If you're looking for a super sleek pair of flip-flops that combine quality, comfort and style, you're gonna want to pick up the Willow Ella design that PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida raves over. "These have a firm-but-cushy footbed that if you press down you can actually feel some bounce-back, while the vegan leather straps are smooth and supple. I've walked uphill and downhill in these beauties (which I also adore for their sleek and elevated look) and experienced no slipping and sliding. Most importantly, the piece that goes between the toes is smooth and flat on either end, making it fit comfortably sans any chafing," she shared. So, yeah, I'd say these are more than worth adding to your cart.
