Because life is better when your feet don’t hurt....

The Birkenstock family has been involved in the footwear industry for over 200 years. The concept behind the Birkenstock Contoured Footbed was simple yet revolutionary. The shape of the shoe should match the shape of the foot.

Every pair of Birkenstocks is designed for comfort. The toe bar allows for the natural gripping motion of the foot which increases circulation and helps strengthen the arch tissue. The anatomically designed footbed lifts the lateral, medial, metatarsal, and transverse arches. The deep heel cup cradles the foot and provides stability. The cork footbed absorbs shock and slowly conforms to the foot.

Birkenstock footwear is designed to encourage and support healthy walking habits. The contours of the cork footbed support the natural curves of your foot, thus distributing weight evenly over the entire foot structure. Initially, the contoured cork footbed may feel strange if you have never worn Birkenstocks before. The best way to get used to your Birkenstocks is to wear them for a couple of hours each day until the footbed begins to soften and mold to the shape of your foot.
