This simple sandal with two straps stands for timeless design and has long held cult status thanks to its comfort factor. The upper is made from the skin-friendly, hard-wearing synthetic material Birko-Flor®. Features: Anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed. Upper: Birko-Flor®. Footbed lining: suede. Sole: EVA. Details: two straps, each with an individually adjustable metal pin buckle. “Made in Germany”. Materials: Upper material: Birko-Flor®. Birko-Flor® is a skin-friendly, tear-resistant and easy-to-care-for synthetic material which is exclusively used by BIRKENSTOCK. Insole: Natural leather. Footbed material: Cork. Outsole: EVA. A Legendary Design. The heart of all models is the original BIRKENSTOCK footbed. The construction, which has been thought out to the smallest detail and makes it feel like you're standing in sand, helps your feet feel as comfortable as possible for hours on end. This supports health and promotes wellbeing. Deep Heel Cup: The very deep moulding 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 a closed shoe. Heel Mould: Activates the calf muscles, stabilises the back of the foot and improves gait and coordination. Interior And Exterior Longitudinal Arch Supports: The arch supports that run alongside the sides of the footbed surround the tarsal bones inside and out. This gives the foot the stability it needs when it takes a step. Transverse Arch Support: The support that runs through the middle of the footbed stabilizes the metatarsal bone. In this way, the transverse arch support helps ensure that the foot has a naturally straight and solid stance.

As a result, the high footbed edge protects the toes during the rolling motion of the foot.

FAQs
How do I clean the Birko-Flor® upper?
Use a damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as they may damage the material.
Can I wear my Birkenstocks in the rain?
While the sandals can withstand some moisture, prolonged exposure to rain or wet conditions can damage the cork footbed. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
How do I protect the cork footbed?
Apply a cork sealant regularly to prevent drying and cracking. This will help maintain the integrity of the footbed.
What is the lifespan of Birkenstock sandals?
With proper care, Birkenstock sandals can last for several years. The longevity depends on the frequency of wear and how well they are maintained.
Can I replace the footbed?
Birkenstock offers a resoling service where you can replace the footbed if it becomes worn or damaged.
How do I break in my Birkenstocks?
Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase the wear time as the footbed conforms to your feet. The footbed will mold to your foot over time.

The supportive footbed can provide relief for some foot conditions. However, it's recommended to consult with a podiatrist if you have specific foot health concerns.
