What is EVA?
EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is a high-quality technical material used by Birkenstock to create footwear that is:
- ultralight
- soft and flexible
- waterproof
- shock-absorbing
- easy to wash
It helps absorb shock while walking and ensures comfort even on the most active days.
The Birkenstock Anatomical Footbed
The heart of every Birkenstock model is the renowned anatomical footbed, designed to mimic the sensation of walking on sand and support the foot in its natural shape.
Even in the EVA version, the footbed reproduces the fundamental features of the Birkenstock system:
Deep heel cup
Holds the heel in its natural position, improving stability and posture.
Longitudinal arch support
Supports the foot structure by correctly distributing weight while walking.
Transverse arch support
Stabilizes the forefoot and promotes a natural stance.
Metatarsal support (toe grip)
The small undulations at the front of the footbed allow the toes to move freely and promote a natural gait.
Raised footbed edge
Protects the toes and helps the foot stay well-positioned during movement.
This system promotes well-being, correct posture, and long-lasting comfort, making Birkenstock sandals ideal for everyday use.

We have always believed in the value of honest advice, even online.
In this section, you will find the most useful and transparent answers regarding shipping, sizes, returns, and the care of our Birkenstocks.
Are the Birkenstock Rio Kids EVA – Ultralight and Waterproof Children's Sandals – Fondant Pink waterproof?
Yes, they are made entirely of EVA, a water-resistant, lightweight, and washable material, ideal for the beach, the pool, and daily summer use.
Are Birkenstock Rio Kids EVA – Ultralight and Waterproof Children's Sandals – Fondant Pink suitable for vegans?
Yes, EVA Birkenstocks are completely free of animal-derived materials and represent a suitable choice for those who follow a vegan lifestyle. They offer comfort, quality, and softness without compromise, in full respect of cruelty-free ethics.
Which size should I choose for the Birkenstock Rio Kids EVA – Ultralight and Waterproof Children's Sandals – Fondant Pink?
Birkenstocks have a regular fit, but the choice of size also depends on the shape of your foot.
Here are some tips for choosing the right one:
- If you are between sizes, choose the smaller size: the anatomical footbed works best when the foot is well contained.
- However, make sure there is about 5 mm of space both in front of the toes and behind the heel: your foot should not "slide around," but it shouldn't touch the edges either. If your foot touches the edges, it means it is not perfectly positioned within the shape of the anatomical footbed.
How do you clean the Birkenstock Rio Kids EVA – Ultralight and Waterproof Children's Sandals – Fondant Pink?
EVA Birkenstocks are very easy to clean.
Just use lukewarm water and a bit of mild soap, with the help of a sponge or a soft cloth. Then let them air dry, away from heat sources.
They are washable, waterproof, and low-maintenance, ideal for daily use, the beach, and the pool.
