Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle EVA in Green, size 8.5, is ideal for adults seeking lightweight, water-resistant footwear for casual wear. Its key benefit is the supreme comfort provided by the anatomically shaped EVA footbed and shock-absorbing design. A potential caveat is that EVA material may be less durable than traditional materials for heavy-duty use. This slip-on sandal features a single, adjustable strap with a large, shiny buckle, an embossed logo, and a matte finish, all constructed from a single piece of EVA for ultralight performance.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The single strap features a large, adjustable buckle that allows for some width adjustment, making them adaptable to various foot widths. However, the overall fit is dependent on the EVA footbed's shape.
Can I wear these sandals in the shower?
Yes, the EVA material is water-resistant and washable, making them suitable for use in wet environments like showers or around swimming pools.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Birkenstock sizing can differ from other brands. Ensure your heel isn't hanging off the back and that your toes don't go past the front edge of the footbed. The fit should feel supportive but not constrictive.
What is the sole height?
The sole height for this model is 3.5 cm.
Are these sandals machine washable?
No, these sandals are not machine washable. They should be hand-washed by rinsing with water and air-dried.
What is the difference between EVA and traditional Birkenstock sandals?
EVA sandals are made entirely from a lightweight, waterproof, and shock-absorbing synthetic material. Traditional Birkenstocks often feature a cork footbed and a more robust construction, offering different levels of support and durability.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or too loose.
Adjust the large buckle on the strap. Loosen it for more room or tighten it for a more snug fit.
Soles feel slippery when wet.
While water-resistant, EVA can become slippery on very wet surfaces. Exercise caution when walking on wet tiles or smooth surfaces.
Material shows signs of wear or scuffing.
Minor scuffs on EVA can sometimes be buffed out with a soft cloth. For significant damage, consider replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These sandals require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box. The main adjustment is via the large buckle on the single strap, which can be tightened or loosened to achieve a comfortable and secure fit for your foot.
Compatibility:

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: The EVA material is washable. To clean, rinse the sandals with lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the EVA material.
- Drying: After washing, allow the sandals to air dry completely. Do not expose them to direct, intense heat (like radiators or prolonged direct sunlight), as this can cause the EVA to warp or shrink.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
