CONSCIOUSLY HEALTHY
Since 1774, Birkentock has been thinking of ways it can make the lives of its customers better and richer.
Every Birkenstock sandal undergoes 17 work steps. Whether they are produced by hand or using industrial methods – all BIRKENSTOCK products meet the highest quality standards in the shoe industry anywhere in the world.
Birkenstock manufacture their products primarily in Germany and Portugal under the best conditions in their own production facilities and in accordance with the principles of a centuries-old tradition of hand craftsmanship. Their raw materials come from sustainable natural resources. Where possible, they source these materials in Europe.
Our Birkenstock Collection
01 | FIRST LAYER OF JUTE
The first layer of jute forms the foundation of our footbed. It stabilises the natural cork and latex core.
02 | CORK AND LATEX FOOTBED
The cork and latex footbed is the heart of all BIRKENSTOCK shoes. The shock-absorbing and highly flexible cork and latex core supports and relieves pressure on the feet. The natural materials insulate against the heat and cold and create a good foot climate.
03 | SECOND LAYER OF JUTE
The second layer of jute is placed around the sides of the footbed. This increases the flexibility of the footbed and makes it significantly more durable. This layer of thick, absorbent jute helps to regulate moisture.
04 | SUEDE LINING
The suede lining absorbs moisture. This natural property of the high-quality top layer helps to ensure a pleasant foot climate.
The integrated soft footbed has the same properties as the original footbed. The additional foam insert in the soft footbed provides even more comfort.
05 | FOAM INSERT
The soft footbed is padded with an anatomically shaped foam insert. This insert contains millions of tiny air bubbles that help provide an especially comfortable experience.
BlackToe Sizing Recommendation
Birkenstock's official size chart includes half-sizes with the lower full-sizes. For example, 40 EUR is considered to be US Women's 9-9.5 and US Men's 7-7.5.
If you're a half-size, we recommend that you go for the lower full-size if you like a tight fit and go for the higher full-size if you want it loose and easy.

How to measure your foot length:
- Stand with the heel to a wall and put a measuring tape under your feet
- Read off the measured foot length in millimeters before your longest toe
- If you are between two sizes, choose the next higher, because feet are minimally greater under load
