Just slip in! The BIRKENSTOCK Oswego is a handy slip-on shoe that will delight both men and women alike. The casual low shoe features elastic inserts which make it easy to put it on and take it off in no time. The flexible rubber sole with a shock-absorbing cork-PU intermediate layer and the padding at the edge of the shaft result in even more comfort. This unicolored version plays with different materials to create a minimalist look. The upper is made from soft suede in combination with natural leather.
The natural leather that we use is mostly smooth leather, in some cases tumbled leather. This type of leather has many special characteristics, such as breathability, adaptation to the shape of the foot and durability.
Insole: Natural leather
Natural leather can be recognized by its untreated surface. BIRKENSTOCK purposely does not treat surface grains and other characteristic features. BIRKENSTOCK uses sturdy leather with a thickness of 2.8 to 3.2 millimeters as upper material.
Footbed material: Cork
Cork is a sustainable material extracted from the bark layer of the cork oak. This natural product is insulating and offers very good cushioning.
Outsole: Rubber
Because of its high elasticity rubber is very well suited for outsoles. Thanks to this property it supports the natural rolling motion of the foot. Rubber is also very robust and has good cushioning.
