Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle EVA is a lightweight, water-friendly sandal designed for adults who prioritize casual comfort and iconic style for everyday wear. Featuring the signature Birkenstock contoured footbed and a striking oversized buckle, this model excels as an easy-to-clean option for poolside or urban settings, though the EVA material may not provide the same level of moisture-wicking properties as traditional leather-lined versions.

FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
Yes, they are made of EVA, which is a lightweight, water-friendly, and washable material.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While they feature the supportive Birkenstock footbed, they are primarily designed for casual wear and short-to-medium duration walking.
How do I clean my EVA sandals?
Simply wash them with a damp cloth and mild soap. They dry quickly in the air.
Does the buckle rust?
The buckle is durable metal, but it is recommended to rinse it with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorine to prevent corrosion.
How should they fit?
Your heel should rest comfortably in the heel cup, and your toes should have enough space to move naturally without hanging off the front.
Are these suitable for arch support?
Yes, they feature the same signature anatomical footbed found in traditional Birkenstock models, providing excellent arch support.
Troubleshooting
Buckle feels loose
Adjust the metal pin through the strap holes to achieve a tighter, more secure fit across the bridge of your foot.
Footbed feels slippery when wet
Since EVA is non-porous, moisture stays on the surface. Wipe the footbed dry with a towel to regain traction.
Sandals are misshapen
Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sun. If they become slightly misshapen, allow them to rest in a cool, shaded area to retain their natural form.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your sandals, rinse them with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine. Because the material is waterproof, you can simply wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. Ensure they are kept away from extreme heat sources, such as direct sunlight for prolonged periods or radiators, as EVA can warp if exposed to intense, sustained heat. Regarding fit, the single buckle allows for micro-adjustments to accommodate different foot widths, though users should ensure the strap is snug enough to prevent sliding while walking.
