The Iconic Arizona, Built for Kids
The Birkenstock Arizona Active EVA Girls Sandal brings the legendary two-strap silhouette into a one-piece EVA construction designed specifically for active kids. Modeled directly on the classic cork Arizona, it delivers the same anatomically shaped footbed experience in a material that thrives anywhere water is involved: the beach, the backyard, poolside, or the water park.
Every detail is purpose-built for all-day play. The sandal is ultra-lightweight, shock-absorbing, and fully waterproof, making it a go-to for parents who want real Birkenstock support without worrying about what their kid is getting into. And it is Made in Germany, so the quality pedigree is the real thing.
EVA Construction and the Birkenstock Footbed
The upper, lining, and sole are all one single piece of molded EVA. That seamless construction eliminates seams that can rub, keeps weight to a minimum, and means the entire sandal can be rinsed clean in seconds. EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a closed-cell foam that resists water absorption, so these sandals do not become heavy or waterlogged after a day at the beach.
The footbed is anatomically shaped and molded directly from EVA, following the same contours as Birkenstock's famous cork footbed. It cradles the heel, supports the arch, and features a raised toe grip so the foot stays properly positioned rather than sliding forward. This is what separates the Arizona Active from a generic foam slide: genuine ergonomic shaping that promotes healthy foot development during the years kids are on their feet the most.
Two-Strap Adjustability
Two independent straps cross the forefoot and the instep. Each strap has its own individually adjustable metal tongue buckle, giving a precise, secure fit across the full range of a child's foot width. The buckle hardware is metal, not plastic, so it holds its adjustment and does not slip during wear. Kids can slip the sandal on and off easily without having to undo the buckles every time, while still getting a locked-in feel once adjusted to their foot.
Where These Sandals Perform
The waterproof, skin-friendly EVA is non-irritating against bare feet and resists odor buildup. The grippy outsole handles wet pool decks and sandy surfaces. The shock-absorbing midsole takes the edge off hard pavement when kids are running between the car and the water. These are sandals that go in the water, come out of the water, and are ready again without any fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Birkenstock Arizona Active EVA sandals waterproof?
- Yes. The entire sandal, including the upper, lining, footbed, and sole, is molded from a single piece of EVA. EVA does not absorb water, so these sandals are fully waterproof and can be worn in the pool, at the beach, or in the rain without becoming heavy or damaged.
- What is the difference between the Birkenstock Arizona Active EVA and the original cork Arizona?
- The Arizona Active EVA is modeled on the cork original and shares the same anatomically shaped two-strap silhouette, but every component, including the footbed, upper, and sole, is made from molded EVA instead of cork and leather. This makes it ultra-lightweight, fully waterproof, and easier to clean, at a lower price point. The cork version is better for long-term everyday wear; the EVA version is built for water and outdoor play.
- How do I clean the Birkenstock Arizona Active EVA Girls Sandal?
- Simply rinse with water and wipe down with a damp cloth. Because the entire sandal is one-piece EVA, there are no cork or leather components to protect from moisture. Let air dry away from direct heat sources.
- Is the Birkenstock Arizona Active EVA good for kids with wide feet?
- The two independently adjustable metal tongue buckle straps allow the fit to be dialed in across the forefoot and instep separately, which accommodates a wide range of foot widths. The anatomically shaped footbed cradles the foot naturally rather than compressing it.
- Where are Birkenstock Arizona Active EVA Girls Sandals made?
- Made in Germany, consistent with Birkenstock's manufacturing standards for its EVA line.
- What makes EVA a good material for kids sandals?
- EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight, flexible, closed-cell foam that is shock-absorbing, waterproof, and skin-friendly. It does not irritate bare feet, resists water absorption so it stays light when wet, and is easy to rinse clean. These properties make it well suited to active kids who are rough on footwear and spend time around water.
- Can girls wear the Birkenstock Arizona Active EVA at the beach or pool?
- Yes. The sandal is specifically designed for water environments. The waterproof EVA construction, grippy outsole, and shock-absorbing footbed all hold up to sand, wet pool decks, and prolonged moisture exposure without any special care needed.
