A cross between the iconic Boston and Zurich silhouettes, the Bimshire reinterprets casual footwear with a utilitarian twist. Smooth natural leather straps envelope the top layer of its structure, weaving through BIRKENSTOCK’s classic buckles. A panel of tonal canvas is trimmed with French piping and finished with a round, classic suede toe. The anatomically shaped footbed is covered in Nappa leather and tinted in UNION’s signature orange.
The footbed liner and outer edge of the footbed of BIRKENSTOCK Exquisite models are wrapped in very soft and supple nappa leather.
Upper material: Material combination
For this shoe, a combination of materials was used. You can find more information on our main materials in our Material Guide.
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: 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.
