Classic two strap style with Birko Florr uppers, cork latex footbed, adjustable straps and shock absorbing EVA sole.
Construction
High quality materials and unique construction give durable comfort and long lasting good looks. The concept of Birkenstock is easily understood when one considers the design of our feet and the mechanics of walking. Each contour in a Birkenstock footbed is precisely placed to stretch, flex and move naturally. Your feet benefit from free movement, constant exercise and improved circulation, resulting in long lasting comfort and better health.
1. Footbed Edge
Deliberately elevated to protect the toes.
2. Toe Bar
Guides the toes, promoting the natural rolling movement of the foot.
3. Cross arch support
Helps shift pressure from the middle to the front of the foot.
4. Suede leather lining
Creates a healthy foot climate around the foot.
5. Inner and outer longitudinal arch supports
Gives the foot support and provides stability for the heel.
6. Deep heel cup
Gives the foot a firm hold and maintains the heel profile.
7. Cork Latex Footbed
Extremely flexible, providing a uniquely high level of wearing comfort.
The Birkenstock Footbed
There is a soft, anatomically shaped cork latex core between the two jute layers. The lower jute layer provides stability while the upper, denser jute layer absorbs moisture. Layering these together along with the suede leather lining ensures an optimum climate for your feet and unsurpassed wearing comfort.
1. Suede leather lining
Creates a healthy foot climate around the foot.
2. Upper jute layer
Wicks away moisture.
3. Cork latex core
Flexible and lightweight providing a high level of comfort.
4. Lower jute layer
Ease of repair and moisture wicking.
5. EVA outsole
Lightweight, durable and shock absorbing material.
Fit
Your toes and heel should not touch the rim of your sandals while standing in them. The extra room is needed to perform the natural rolling motion of the foot without restrictions - just as if you were barefoot. Birkenstocks are designed to be roomy. When you first try your sandals they might feel big. Most people are fine with a regular fitting, but if your foot moves side to side when you walk and adjusting the strap does not help, a narrow fitting may be more suitable. This is a regular fit. There is more sizing information, including a conversion chart, here.
Care
The leather used for Birkenstock® uppers is thick but very supple. Natural leather has a unique surface structure, which varies in its colour. No artificial dyes are used to cover up these differences but leave them the way nature intended. This way the leather retains its pores and its ability to breathe. For cleaning smooth Leather, just use a soft dry cloth. Birkenstocks with cork footbeds come with a light coating of cork sealant on the edges, which prevents them from drying out.
