Shoppers keep coming back for a second or third pair.

Shoppers keep coming back for a second or third pair.

The Birkenstock Arizona EVA Stealth Buckle Sandal has quietly become the go-to summer shoe many. It combines the iconic Arizona sandal but with the low maintenance of the ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) material that makes the shoes waterproof and very lightweight.

It slides on with whatever you’re already wearing, and it never feels like something you have to think about twice, whether you’re heading to the pool, the grocery store, or out to a casual dinner.

And right now, you can get it for up to 30 percent off in two colors at Zappos: Purple Fog and Surf Green.

One shopper who normally wears the leather version of the sandals picked these up for the pool. They said that as soon as they opened the box they “immediately put them on for the rest of the day,” adding that they were “very comfortable.”

Then there’s the fact that they’re waterproof, which might be the best thing about them. Walk straight into the pool with them on, wear them along the shoreline, get caught in a random downpour on your way to the car—none of it matters. Plus, whatever mess the shoes pick up rinses right off in seconds. 

One longtime fan said they clean theirs “with the hose, the shower at the pool, or the laundry room sink” and calls this “the very best summer sandal ever” for walking, running errands, and lazy afternoons by the pool.

The footbed is another reason these stand out. It’s contoured to match the natural shape of your foot rather than leaving you standing on a flat surface, which matters on the days you’re logging more steps than usual.

The adjustable straps are a small detail that prevents any shifting around as you walk. Being able to tighten them means a more secure, custom fit for a supportive shoe, and the updated stealth buckle gives the whole shoe a slightly sleeker finish while keeping the silhouette instantly recognizable.

It says something that people keep going back for more: “Love how birks keep the same quality! These are my [fourth] pair!” When someone’s stocked up like that, you know they’re not just being polite.

Between the price, the color options, and a shape that adapts to real life instead of fighting it, this sandal is shaping up to be a summer staple. It’s comfortable enough for long days, low-maintenance enough for messy ones, and stylish enough that you’ll want to wear it well beyond the season it was bought for.

And this is just one of many Birkenstock sandals worth checking out this summer. The brand has built a reputation on being reliable, classic, comfortable, and cute. Zappos has more pairs worth stepping into.
