Customer Reviews Birkenstock Arizona EVA Essentials

I ordered men's size 12 men's. I really like the fit and support; super lite and the material is a type of a leather material or likeness. I do not want to take these off. Mind you, these are very casual flip flop type shoes. You know, for the price it's a good deal. These are an imitation of the Arizona Birks.

My spouse bought me an off brand. These are so much more comfortable! Great support. Study, yet soft enough that they don’t irritate!

I love Birkenstocks and the fit. These were a perfect addition to my shoe collection for beach and travel. They are supportive, light weight and can be rinsed off, etc. I did notice that the black has faded in spots while being left out in the sun but I did buy them to wear to beach and beyond. Very cute and versatile.

All of the pieces are plastic as opposed to regular Birkenstock which is leather and leather. These sandals are very good designed very lightweight and very good color combination. I highly recommend it

Like others have commented order a size smaller than the size chart suggests. I wear a 10.5 US, which was a 43 in the conversion chart. I ordered a 42 and it fit perfectly. I love the support. I just got them yesterday, but I am wearing them around the house instead of my flat footed slippers. I can already feel a difference with foot and back pain.

I ordered these in men's because the women's did not come in a large enough size. These are so comfortable. Perfect to wear for outside jobs and hose them right off.

Just bought my 2nd pair after a year and a half with the first (which are still kicking, but barely). A classic look and the feel you’d expect for a super lightweight and waterproof version of the originals. Seems like they’ve addressed the sizing issues to some degree. You’ll still want to order a size down, unless you have very wide feet.

Nice light sandal.... but the description Called the green color KHAKI... which I took to mean tan like Khaki pants. It’s actually olive or Army green.

The EVA material sticks to the skin but the result is not annoying nor uncomfortable. Compared to the original material Arizona model, this sandal is much lighter in weight and surprisingly cushiony.

I bought these for my husband who really battles with his feet issues. He opened these last night and immediately told me how they made his feet feel so good! He wore them all evening. I highly recommend. I don’t remember if we sized up or down but I took the reviews advice. Love, Love!

I've been looking for a long time for sandals that can be worn in water and washed. I have several styles from several brands, all with their pluses and minuses. My feet feel best when they're wearing Birkenstock's, but regular Birks just don't work well for me with bare feet. I never see this in other reviews, but let's face it, the suede soles become cruddy after a certain amount of wear. Regular Birks are not meant to be washed, at least not very often. I am so happy to have found these! As a woman, I'd rather have the cute colors that the women's come in, but my foot is a 42 and the women's just go to 41. Plus the women's Essentials fit narrow on my feet, and they have a white buckle that I find unattractive. The men's are fine, but that's why I took off a star for style. These fit me like regular Birks. I wish they had a more padded sole, since I'm used to the soft footbed. Again, these are fine, but that's why I took off a star for comfort. I haven't worn them in hot weather yet, so I may or may not have the foot moisture problem that others have had. At least I know that I can wash them as often as I need to.

I bought these for my husband who is generally "anti-sandals." He loves them. He has chronic foot pain and these are very comfortable. The color is a good neutral green and they are perfect for going out to a casual meal, shopping or just taking the dog for a quick walk. Easy clean-up, of course since they are a rubber like material. Oh, and they aren't as slippery as Crocs can be when they get wet.

Got these to ease plantar fasciitis, and to wear for gardening. Great for both! Three stars for style—they’re Birkies, after all.

Very light weight and comfortable. Great for puttering around the house. Fits just like the traditional Arizona sandals so good for my wide feet.

The overall fit of the sandal is fine. My only issue is related to the color. The pictures on the website look much darker than the sandals themselves. I was expecting a darker gunmetal color, but the pair I received are the same color as standard duct tape.

The sandals ended up being slightly too large; however, I feel if I order the size down, they would be too small. I adjusted the straps and they seem to be good to go.

These were great for about two months, and then they started to fall apart.

After doing a lot of research on what “regular“ with meant for Birkenstocks, I purchased these for my husband who has really wide feet. Unfortunately, they were too narrow. Also, his feet are kind of “tall” and even on the loosest strap setting they barely accommodated his feet. We really wanted these to work out because he has the traditional Arizona style Birkenstocks and they fit fine. He did purchase his traditional Arizona style sandals about 13 years ago (which is a testament to their durability); but Birkenstock has changed how they calibrate the width and also I think the EVA style doesn’t have as much give as the traditional leather straps.

Fit and size were perfect. Third pair of these I've had and they all have the same design/manufacturing defect. In the area that the front strap meets the sole, they crack after maybe 6 months use or less. This causes the portion of the shoe forward of that strap to droop down just a bit, just enough to cause a tripping hazard. Really should be fixed, but I will probably buy again, just don't expect any more than about 3-6 months before they start to fail.

Sandles started splitting apart after 2 days of wearing them

I previously had these in womens medium but they stopped carrying them in medium width (only narrow). So, I decided to try them in the mens comparable size and they are perfect!!

These are great! This is the 2nd pair I've ordered for my son. He's a Boat Captain and wears them on the boat...they offer support (he has bad heels) and they are waterproof and offer support as well. We love them!

This could be my favorite footwear ever! I’m on my 3rd pair. Just ordered my 4th. I wear a size 12 and have a normal-width, tall foot with average arch. 44 is my magic number.

Birkenstock introduced the EVA sandal in 2015. Since then our family has bought over a dozen pairs. We wear them as "house" shoes on hard tile floors and they are just as great walking in the mall or for daily wear. This most recent purchase was prompted by my son-in-law wearing my daughter's pair! They were a bit small so I ordered a pair for him!
