The Birkenstock Original Footbed

A Legendary Design
The core of all models is the original Birkenstock footbed. The construction helps your feet feel as comfortable as possible for hours on end.

Interior & Exterior Arch Support
The arch support that runs along the sides of the footbed surround the tarsal bones inside and out. This gives the footbed the stability it needs when it takes a step.

Deep Heel Cup
The very deep molding in the heel area supports the foot tissue and holds the heel bone firmly in its natural position. This provides the foot with nearly as much support when it is in a sandal as when it is in a closed shoe.

Sustainable Materials

Natural Cork - A Renewable Raw Materials
One of our most important raw materials is cork – A natural and sustainable product that boasts high elasticity, outstanding cushioning, and excellent heat and sound insulation. The cork layer is reproduced and can therefore be harvested again and again without harming the tree.

The cork is obtained from the bark layer of the cork oak. At least five centimeters of thick bark is stripped from the cork oak – a process that can only be repeated every seven to nine years. A single tree can provide 100 to 200 kilograms of cork during its lifetime.

Latex - The Environmentally Friendly Adhesive
Natural latex serves as a primary binding agent in the production of the footbed. Like cork, natural latex is also a renewable resource. Natural latex is obtained from the resin of rubber trees.

This delicate natural material has a much better energy balance than synthetic latex, which is obtained from crude oil, and it's also free from pollutants such as solvents or CFCs. In addition, natural latex has beneficial natural properties, such as a high elasticity-point and superior breathability.

Repairing Is Caring

Created With Repairs In Mind
Birkenstocks are carefully manufactured to allow for easy repairs over the life of the shoes.
Most components are replaceable or repairable.
Our workshop exclusively uses genuine Birkenstock repair materials.

The Maintenance Mindset
Regular care and maintenance of your Birkenstocks helps keep your favourites on your feet for longer.

Smaller, more regular repairs, such as re-soling and cork patching are recommended over the life of your shoes to extend their wear.

Gentle On Our Planet
The more shoes we are able to repair, the more we keep from being discarded and ending up as landfill.

We salvage parts and materials from anything that we can no longer repair, minimising waste at every part of our process.

Care Instructions

Prolong the life of your Birkenstocks by following our care instructions:

• Breaking in a new pair: Allow your feet to adjust to your new shoes by limiting wear to just a few hours the first five to six times.
• Air footbeds regularly: Airing the footbeds prevents the build-up of odours caused by excess moisture.
• Don’t immerse cork models in water: Water can damage cork-based sandals/shoes and dissolve the glue/sealant.
• Avoid extreme heat: Heat exposure can damage Birkenstocks. Avoid leaving them in the car or direct sunlight, and keep away from radiators and fireplaces.
• Repair your shoes: Over time, Birkenstock footwear may require repair due to general wear. Read more about repairs.
