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.
THE ORIGINAL BIRKENSTOCK FOOTBED
At the heart of every Birkenstock design is the legendary footbed.
The details are all in the design; each element of the footbed serves a purpose to encourage proper foot wellbeing and health.
The result is signature style coupled with all day comfort.

The deep heel cup cradles the heel and keeps your natural cushioning right under the heel bone. -
2. Longitudinal Arch Support
The longitudinal arch support runs along the sides of the footbed, providing stability with each step. -
3. Transverse Arch Support
The transverse arch support runs through the middle of the footbed, helping ensure proper alignment and a solid stance. -
4. Raised Toe Bar
The raised toe bar encourages the natural gripping motion of your feet, exercises the legs, and stimulates circulation. -

A roomy toe box allows toes to move more naturally, promoting better balance and correct foot alignment.
