The BIRKENSTOCK Zürich combines the stability of a closed-toe shoe with the lightness of a sandal and is popular in equal measure among both men and women. Although closed at the sides, this version is open at the toes and heel to ensure the feet get enough fresh air. This version boasts an authentic and rustic mix of materials featuring soft synthetic felt and thick natural leather.
Anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed
Upper: synthetic felt; 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: EVA
EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is a high-quality, very light, elastic material with extremely good cushioning. As a result, it smooths out slight irregularities in the floor and ensures that every step is softly cushioned.
