Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle EVA is a lightweight, durable sandal designed for adults seeking the iconic Birkenstock silhouette with the modern, water-friendly convenience of EVA material. It is an excellent choice for casual daily wear, beach outings, or poolside relaxation, providing signature arch support in a minimalist, single-strap design. Please note that the EVA construction is best suited for casual use rather than long-distance walking or strenuous activities where traditional cork footbeds are often preferred for long-term orthotic shaping.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
Yes, they are made from EVA, which is a water-friendly, non-absorbent material.
Do they provide the same support as classic Birkenstocks?
They feature an anatomically shaped footbed, but they are lighter and more flexible than the traditional cork models.
How do I clean my EVA sandals?
Clean them with mild soap and a damp cloth; avoid extreme heat or direct sunlight for drying.
Can the buckle be adjusted?
Yes, the large buckle is functional and allows you to adjust the strap tension to your foot.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The adjustable strap provides flexibility for different foot widths, though the standard fit is generally accommodating.
Will the EVA material shrink in the sun?
You should avoid leaving them in direct sunlight or hot cars for extended periods, as intense heat can cause the material to warp or shrink.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels loose after extended wear
Adjust the oversized metal buckle to a tighter notch to regain a secure fit.
Sandals have become slippery when wet
Wipe the footbed dry with a towel to restore traction and prevent sliding.
Dirt stuck in the footbed texture
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to scrub the recessed areas of the footbed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your sandals, adjust the strap so that it sits comfortably across the bridge of your foot without being overly tight, which allows the foot to move naturally. Compatibility is generally high for standard foot shapes, though the single-strap design works best for those who prefer an open, airy feel. For care, simply wipe your sandals down with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Because the EVA material is synthetic, you can wash them with mild soap and water and let them air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the material's integrity.
