Questions buyers ask

Are these machine washable?

While they are waterproof, it is recommended to hand wash them with mild soap and water rather than using a machine.

Do they provide the same support as the cork version?

They feature the same anatomical shape, but the EVA material is softer and offers slightly less rigid support than the cork-latex footbed.

Do they run true to size?

Yes, they generally follow standard Birkenstock sizing, though they may feel slightly roomier due to the flexible material.
