Birkenstock Arizona - Navy - Size: 9

Yes, these sandals are made from waterproof EVA material, making them ideal for use in wet conditions such as at the beach, pool, or during light rain without sustaining damage.

Cleaning is simple. You can rinse them under cool water with a mild soap and a soft brush to remove dirt. Always let them air dry completely in a shaded area away from direct heat.

The EVA material is flexible and comfortable but does not mold and conform to your foot's unique shape in the same way a cork footbed does. However, they still offer excellent contoured support.

Thanks to their lightweight EVA construction and the classic supportive BIRKENSTOCK footbed, many users find the Arizona EVA sandals comfortable for extended periods of wear, especially in casual settings.

The primary differences are the material (EVA vs. cork/leather), weight (EVA is significantly lighter), waterproof capabilities (EVA is waterproof), and care (EVA is washable). Both styles offer similar contoured footbed support.

While this specific variant (Navy, UK Size 9) is categorized under men's sizes, the Arizona EVA style is generally considered unisex. Women can often wear them by converting their usual size to the equivalent men's UK size, but it's always best to check a size chart.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. While EVA sandals require less 'break-in' than traditional leather, wear them for short periods initially. Adjust the buckles to achieve a snug, comfortable fit without being too tight. If discomfort persists, verify sizing.

The EVA material provides good grip on many surfaces, but always exercise caution on extremely wet, soapy, or smooth surfaces (e.g., polished tiles). Regularly check the sole for wear, which can reduce traction over time.

Being washable, simply rinse your sandals thoroughly with water and a mild soap. Use a brush if necessary for the footbed. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated, shaded area to prevent odor-causing bacteria.

Wipe with a damp cloth or wash under running water with a gentle brush and mild soap. The EVA material is highly resistant to staining and generally very easy to clean.
