BIRKENSTOCK MEDICAL SHOES: PUT YOUR WELLBEING FIRST
When you’re busy putting others first, you need a pair of shoes that will take care of you. Whether you work in a hospital, a clinic, a lab or a care home, BIRKENSTOCK medical shoes are designed to support those who perform all-important roles in the healthcare sector. The best shoes for healthcare workers are comfortable, protective, washable and non-slip – that’s why BIRKENSTOCK healthcare shoes are the perfect choice. Our shoes combine excellent comfort with reliable functionality, to keep up with the demands of your profession and provide you with relief when you’re on your feet all day.
THE ANATOMY OF COMFORT
BIRKENSTOCK medical shoes have been meticulously crafted to meet the demanding needs of healthcare professionals. Designed with an unwavering commitment to wellbeing, BIRKENSTOCK medical shoes feature an anatomically shaped footbed that mirrors the contours of your feet, providing unparalleled support where it's needed most. Our signature footbed, made from a precise blend of cork and latex, helps keep the spine and legs in proper alignment and distributes the weight evenly across the whole foot, promoting a natural walking motion and reducing fatigue during long shifts.
The expertly designed footbed is enhanced with the following properties:
- Deep heel cup – to support the foot tissue and hold the heel bone firmly in its natural position
- Heel mould – to activate the calf muscles, stabilise the back of the foot and improve gait and coordination
- Interior and exterior longitudinal arch supports – to give the foot the stability it needs when it takes a step
- Transverse arch support – to ensure the foot has a naturally straight and solid stance
- Toe grip – to keep the toes spread out in their natural position and to support the natural rolling motion of the toes
- Footbed edge – to protect the toes during the rolling motion of the foot.
For even more comfort, our Soft Footbed medical shoes feature an additional layer of soft padding that reliably and permanently cushions the foot with every step – even if your feet are sensitive.
Whether you're navigating the bustling corridors of a hospital or standing for hours in surgery, these nursing shoes and surgery shoes are engineered to cushion every step, delivering comfort that lasts from clock-in to clock-out. With BIRKENSTOCK medical shoes, every element is designed with your comfort and health in mind, ensuring you can give your best to those who need it most.
SPECIALIZED FEATURES FOR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS
As well as being comfortable, your medical shoes should be practical and versatile too. They should meet the legal hygiene requirements, and they should help you to move quickly in emergency situations. BIRKENSTOCK medical shoes fulfil many occupational health requirements in the medical and care sector.
Our medical shoes with Super Grip are ideal for tireless care workers and medical professionals who spend entire days rushing around helping others. The Super Grip sole is non-slip, promotes the ideal rolling motion, and is also oil- and grease-resistant. All Super Grip soles are tested for slip resistance in accordance with EN ISO 20347:2012.
If protecting your toes is a key priority, our A640 model features a solid steel toe cap and is certified in accordance with EN ISO 20345:2011 SB E (SRC category). And for a great all-rounder, check out our Super Birki. The shoe is made of high-quality polyurethane and is oil- and grease-resistant, crush-resistant, and water- and dirt-repellent. The robust material can be washed and disinfected at up to 60 degrees.
GUARANTEED LONGEVITY WITH REPLACEMENT FOOTBEDS
When your work shoes are in constant use, they may eventually need to be replaced. BIRKENSTOCK’s replacement footbeds extend the lifespan of your favourite pair. Available for nearly every model of medical shoe, these replacement footbeds are a testament to BIRKENSTOCK’s commitment to durability and sustainability. With the ease of online ordering, healthcare professionals can swiftly swap their old footbeds for a new set, ensuring their footwear remains as supportive and comfortable as day one.
FUNCTIONALITY MEETS STYLE
Medical shoes aren’t renowned for being stylish. And while comfort and functionality are undoubtedly the priorities, you still deserve the chance to express your individuality. BIRKENSTOCK offers nursing and hospital shoes in a variety of designs and colours. Even within the limitations of classic white clogs, there are options that allow for personal expression, showcasing subtle variations in design that make a world of difference. Take the Boston Super Grip. This model, based on a fashion favourite, features our iconic pin buckle. The Tokio Super Grip features an adjustable backstrap, while the Kay SL Soft Footbed boasts double straps and colour contrast details.
And while white is the de facto for most hospital shoes, other medical and care professionals are often able to branch out. That’s why BIRKENSTOCK offers healthcare shoes in a wide range of colours, from red and pink to green and blue. The Super Birki in particular comes in a broad spectrum of shades to add a touch of brightness to your day-to-day work life.
