Birkenstock

The Original "Classic" Footbed

01 | FIRST LAYER OF JUTE
The first layer of jute forms the foundation of our footbed. It stabilises the natural cork and latex core.

02 | CORK AND LATEX FOOTBED
The cork and latex footbed is the heart of all BIRKENSTOCK shoes. The shock-absorbing and highly flexible cork and latex core supports and relieves pressure on the feet. The natural materials insulate against the heat and cold and create a good foot climate.

03 | SECOND LAYER OF JUTE
The second layer of jute is placed around the sides of the footbed. This increases the flexibility of the footbed and makes it significantly more durable. This layer of thick, absorbent jute helps to regulate moisture.

04 | SUEDE LINING
The suede lining absorbs moisture. This natural property of the high-quality top layer helps to ensure a pleasant foot climate.

The "SOFT" Footbed

MORE COMFORT

The integrated soft footbed has the same properties as the original footbed. The additional foam insert in the soft footbed provides even more comfort.

05 | FOAM INSERT

The soft footbed is padded with an anatomically shaped foam insert.This insert contains millions of tiny air bubbles that help provide an especially comfortable experience.
