Anatomy of a Birkenstock
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.

• Deep heel cup - gives the foot a firm hold and maintains the heel profile 
• Cork latex footbed - extremely flexible, provides a high level of wearing comfort
• Suede leather cover - creates a healthy climate around the foot
• Cross support from the arch - helps shift pressure from the middle to the front of the foot
• Toe gripper - steers the toes, promoting the natural rolling movement of the foot
• Footbed edging - deliberately elevated to protect the toes
