Is the EVA Arizona worth it over the leather one?

Yes if you want a waterproof, lightweight sandal for showers, pools or the garden. The leather Arizona is more durable and better for all-day street wear, but costs considerably more.

How does the EVA Arizona fit?

It uses Birkenstock's regular width, which runs wide, and the footbed is generous in length. People between sizes or with narrow feet often size down.

Can I wear these in the shower or at the beach?

Yes. The EVA is fully waterproof and dries quickly. The trade-off is that the sole can be slippery on wet tile.

How long do the EVA sandals last?

With casual or water use, a season or two is typical. Daily walking compresses the foam and flattens the footbed faster.

One pair of EVA Arizona sandals. No socks, bag or care kit is included.

When is the best time to buy?

Prices dip at the end of summer and around Black Friday. The dusty blue colorway is a seasonal shade, so it is more likely to be discounted late in the season.
