EVA stands for “ethylene vinyl acetate,” which is a super lightweight material that’s somewhere between foam and rubber. It’s extremely flexible with plenty of cushion, and it’s completely waterproof, making the sandals perfect for poolside wear and summer travel.
Can I wash my Birks with water?
Use lukewarm water and a cloth to scrub your footprint away. To dry, do not place in direct heat or sunlight, as this again, will cause dry rot and cork cracking. Clean your Birkenstocks on a day where you won’t be tempted to wear them and allow them to dry away from windows and doors for 24 hours.
Why can’t Birkenstocks get wet?
Birkenstocks are not designed to be immersed in water, so doing this will just damage your leather and dry out the cork, so please don’t do it!
