Jessica Alba’s Platform Sandals Look Like This Waterproof Style That Shoppers Can Walk ‘20k+ Steps a Day’ In

Jessica Alba’s shoes were just another highlight from her Hawaiian vacation.

The 43-year-old actress and entrepreneur recently went to Kauai with her three kids and a couple of friends. Her “vacay vibes” photo dump from the trip — which included a cute moment with her 7-year-old son, Hayes — showed 19 slides of food, fun, and beachy fashion. There were lots of bikini pics, but a few shots showed her wearing a flowing maxi dress with a pair of platform sandals peeking out.

On the search for lookalikes, we found these sandy-colored Reef sandals that have the woven look of espadrilles but are made from a more water-friendly material.

Water-resistant shoes can be unsightly, but these Reef Water Vistas are a super practical beach shoe that doesn’t skimp on style. This Vintage Oasis color is the most similar to Alba’s ropey sandals, but you can buy them in a bunch of shades (the white option has the lowest price right now at $45 in most sizes). They’re dressy enough to wear to dinner with different vacation looks, from a white monochrome outfit to a busy Lilly Pulitzer print.

Order them to your size and then adjust the Velcro ankle strap as needed. That’s a feature you’ll appreciate if your ankles tend to swell after lots of walking — it’s also a plus for stability since you’ll probably wear these along shorelines. Plus, the sandals come with a lightly cushioned footbed to support your feet.

“These sandals saved me from needing to pack multiple pairs of shoes on vacation. Whether I was exploring the city, hitting the beach, or dining out, they were my go-to,” wrote one shopper. “As someone with back issues, I’m thrilled to say I had zero back pain even after wearing them all day, every day.”

The review section is also full of people saying they felt no discomfort in their feet or legs after wearing the Reef sandals. “I was able to walk 20k+ steps a day all over Spain wearing only these,” wrote another buyer. “[If] you’re planning on walking a ton and don’t want feet pain to distract you from enjoying your vacation, get these.”

“I have worn these for two days straight, on my feet much of the day, running errands, etc., and [I have] absolutely no complaints,” wrote a shopper who said they have sensitive feet. “Eventually, I forgot I even had them on.”
