Each EVA sandal is precision moulded from premium ethylene vinyl acetate, a material that delivers remarkable properties such as ultra lightweight construction that feels almost weightless on your feet, complete waterproof protection that handles everything from ocean waves to garden sprinklers, and shock absorbing cushioning that rivals traditional cork footbeds. The result is footwear that performs beautifully in wet conditions while maintaining the foot healthy design principles that have made Birkenstock the choice of health conscious consumers worldwide.
The EVA Collection offers a colour spectrum to suit every summer mood. For bold vibrant shades like sky blue, sunny yellow, and lime green bring playful energy to your look. These colours run through the material, staying bright and fade resistant even after long days in the sun and surf. If you prefer a more refined vibe then classic neutrals and metallic options, there’s a colour to match your vibe.
Whether you're planning a tropical vacation, need reliable pool deck footwear or simply want sandals that can handle Australia's weather patterns, the EVA Collection delivers uncompromising performance with the comfort and style you expect from Birkenstock.
Despite the different material, EVA footbeds maintain the exact anatomical contours of traditional cork designs. The deep heel cup, pronounced arch support and toe grip are precisely replicated, ensuring that the foot health benefits of Birkenstock design are fully preserved in waterproof form.
The Birkenstock EVA sandal collection proves that you don't have to compromise comfort for practicality, or style for performance. These are sandals that truly do it all, keeping you comfortable and supported whether you're lounging by the pool or exploring rocky coastlines.
EVA is a lightweight, moulded material (ethylene vinyl acetate) that's used instead of cork and suede. Each sandal is moulded in one piece, so it's super light and completely waterproof. You still get the Birkenstock shape underfoot, just in a material that doesn't mind getting wet.
Yes. That's what they're made for. Ocean waves, pool decks, garden sprinklers and rainy days are all fine, and you can rinse them off afterwards. They also dry quickly, so you're not stuck with soggy sandals.
That's the idea. The EVA footbed keeps the same anatomical shape as the traditional cork design, with a deep heel cup, a defined arch and a toe grip. The feel is a bit different (softer, springier and much lighter), but you're not giving up the foot-friendly design.
No and this because the colour runs all the way through the material rather than being painted on the surface, so brights like sky blue, sunny yellow and lime green stay vivid after long days at the beach. If you'd rather keep it low-key, there are neutrals and metallics too.
The Arizona is the classic. It's a two-strap sandal with adjustable buckles, and it's the one most people picture when they think of Birkenstock. It's a safe first choice if you're new to EVA, since it's easy to slip on and you can tweak the fit across your foot.
Most EVA styles are unisex, and the sizing chart covers both men's and women's sizes. Choose based on the look you like rather than the label. Check out our size guide as it will help you.
Yes, there are kids' versions of some of the popular styles. They're a great option for pool days and holidays because they're light, waterproof and easy to rinse off. Have a look at our kids collection for what's available.
