About Birkenstock Sandals & Shoes

Birkenstock Cork Insoles Encourage Foot Health

The Birkenstock hard and soft footbeds are made of resilient cork and latex and shaped to create a healthy walking environment for your feet. Additionally, the cork/latex blend is pliable and reacts to natural body warmth. Therefore, over time, Birkenstock shoe inserts yield to the characteristics of an individual foot. Many long-term Birkenstock wearers maintain that the longer you wear them, the more comfortable they become. In short, the shape of Birkenstock follows the contours of a healthy foot.

Birkenstock invented the world's first contoured cork/latex footbed. The shape of the Original Birkenstock Arch Support Insoles enables even body weight distribution over the whole foot, providing optimal support. We are proud to carry both firm and soft Birkenstock footbeds.

High quality materials and unique construction ensure durable comfort and extended style for our Birkenstocks shoes. Take, for instance, the Birkenstock Soft Footbed Arizona. These specific leather and suede Birkenstock sandals epitomize the brand's dedication to grace, comfort and style. Wear them anytime, anywhere, and you'll feel the difference from step one.

Overall, it's easy to understand Birkenstock's mission when one considers the design of our feet and the mechanics of walking. That is, each contour in Birkenstock cork insoles are precisely placed to help your feet stretch, flex and move naturally. Your feet benefit from free movement, constant exercise and improved circulation, resulting in long lasting comfort and better health.

No part of the body is subject to more stress and strain in the course of a lifetime than the foot. Our feet bear all of the body’s weight. They keep the body in balance and cushion step-by-step shocks. That is why Birkenstock creates innovative women and men's Birkenstock orthotics, work boots, socks, insoles, and sandals: it's important to take care of your feet. Buy Birkenstocks online today from Footwear etc.

Birkenstock Construction

  • Deep Heel Cup - Gives the foot a firm hold and maintains the heel profile.
  • Cork Latex Footbed - Extremely flexible for a high level of comfort and wearability.
  • Suede Leather Cover - Creates a healthy climate around the foot.
  • Cross Support from the Arch - Shifts pressure form the middle to the front of the foot.
  • Toe Gripper - Steers the toes, promoting the foot's natural rolling movement.
  • Footbed Edging - Deliberately elevated to protect the toes.

That is why Birkenstock creates innovative women and men's Birkenstock sandals, socks, insoles, and Birkenstock orthotics: it's important to take care of your feet.
