Product Information
Full details
The Birkenstock Arizona Eva in Purple (UK 5.5) is ideal for adults seeking a lightweight, waterproof, and comfortable sandal for sunny weather activities like holidays, beach trips, or spa visits. Its key benefit is the ultra-light, flexible EVA construction combined with Birkenstock's signature anatomical footbed. A potential caveat is its narrow fit, which may not suit wider feet. This sandal features a timeless design with two adjustable buckle straps, making it a versatile and practical choice for warm-weather casual wear.

FAQs
Are these sandals suitable for wide feet?
The Birkenstock Arizona Eva has a narrow fit and may not be ideal for individuals with wide feet. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider other Birkenstock models designed for wider widths.
Can I wear these in salt water?
Yes, the EVA material is waterproof and resistant to salt water. However, it's always best to rinse them with fresh water after exposure to salt water and allow them to dry properly.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
The product information lists this as UK 5.5. Birkenstock sandals are generally true to size for their designated fit (narrow in this case). Refer to Birkenstock's official size chart for precise measurements if unsure.
Will the purple color fade?
The EVA material is generally colorfast. However, prolonged and intense exposure to direct sunlight can potentially lead to some fading over time, as with most colored materials.
Are these sandals good for walking long distances?
While the anatomical footbed provides good support, the EVA sole offers moderate cushioning. For very long distances on hard surfaces, they may not provide the same level of comfort as sandals with thicker or more cushioned soles.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, do not put these sandals in the washing machine. Hand wash them with cool water and mild soap, then air dry.
Troubleshooting
Sandals feel too tight or loose
Adjust the metal buckles on each strap individually to find a more secure and comfortable fit for your foot.
Soles feel slippery when wet
Exercise caution when walking on very smooth, wet surfaces. The EVA material can become slick. Ensure feet are dry before putting on.
Sandals have an odor after use
Rinse the sandals thoroughly with cool water and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.
Scuff marks or dirt on the surface
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with mild soap to gently clean the affected areas. For stubborn marks, a non-abrasive cleaner may be used sparingly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Rinse the sandals under cool running water. Use a mild soap or detergent and a soft brush or cloth to gently clean any dirt or stains.
- Drying: Pat dry with a towel or allow to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Do not use a hairdryer or place them on a radiator, as excessive heat can deform the EVA.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat, such as in a closed car on a sunny day, as this can cause warping.
