FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
Yes, the Birkenstock Madrid EVA is made from fully waterproof material, making it suitable for beach, pool, and shower use.
Can I wear these for long walks?
While the footbed is anatomically shaped, the EVA material is primarily designed for casual wear and leisure rather than heavy-duty hiking or long-distance walking.
How do I clean my sandals?
Simply rinse them with water and wipe them down with a soft cloth or mild soap if necessary.
Are they the same size as leather Birkenstocks?
Generally, yes, but because the EVA material is more flexible, some users may find the fit feels slightly more spacious than the rigid cork versions.
Do they provide good arch support?
They feature an anatomically shaped footbed with arch support, though it is softer and more flexible than the support found in traditional cork models.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too slippery when wet
While the material is waterproof, the footbed can become slick with excess soap or shampoo; rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly after use.
Footbed feels slightly warped
This is often due to heat exposure; leave them in a cool, shaded area to allow the material to naturally return to its intended shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Madrid EVA sandals last, follow these simple care guidelines:
- Setup: The sandals are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the strap fits comfortably across the midfoot; it should be snug but not restrictive to allow your toes to grip.
- Cleaning: Use a soft cloth and lukewarm water to wipe off any dirt or debris. For stubborn stains, a mild, neutral soap can be used. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that might scratch the EVA finish.
- Storage: Avoid leaving the sandals in direct, intense sunlight for extended periods, as extreme heat can occasionally cause EVA material to warp or shrink.
- Compatibility: These are unisex by design, though sizes are standardized by UK sizing. Verify your fit against the manufacturer's size guide as sizing may differ slightly from traditional leather Birkenstocks.
