FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
Yes, they are made entirely of EVA, which is a fully waterproof, synthetic material.
Do I need to break these in?
Unlike the cork-footbed models, the EVA version is flexible and soft, typically requiring little to no break-in time.
Can I wear these in the shower?
Yes, their water-resistant properties make them suitable for use in communal showers, at the beach, or by the pool.
How should I clean my Birkenstock EVA sandals?
Simply rinse them with water. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and a soft brush or cloth.
Is the buckle made of metal?
Yes, the oversized buckle is made from metal, adding a refined look to the lightweight EVA strap.
Are these suitable for long-distance walking?
While comfortable for casual wear, they are designed primarily for light use; for extensive walking, traditional Birkenstock models with cork footbeds provide more structured support.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose
Adjust the pronged strap through the holes to tighten the fit across the instep.
Footbed is slippery when wet
Wipe the footbed down with a clean, dry towel to remove excess moisture and improve traction.
Material appears dirty or stained
Use mild soap and water with a soft cloth to gently wipe the surface of the EVA material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your sandals simply requires adjusting the oversized buckle to match the volume of your foot. Ensure the strap is snug but not restrictive to allow for natural movement. For compatibility, these are designed as standard adult footwear and fit true to the Birkenstock sizing scale. Care is straightforward: if they become dirty or covered in sand, rinse them under cool, running water. Avoid exposing your EVA sandals to extreme heat sources, such as a radiator or direct sunlight inside a hot car for extended periods, as the EVA material can warp when subjected to excessive temperatures.
