RUNNERS

KNOW.

Running isn’t just about the miles you log, it’s about your recovery between runs. Birkenstock’s contoured footbeds have the comfort, firm foundation, and arch support to help runners recover. Ultrarunners Scott Jurek and Arden Young make active recovery a key component of their training regimen.

LEVEL UP

YOUR RECOVERY.

Firm not foam

The deep heel cup cradles the heel and keeps your natural cushioning right under the heel bone.

CORK NOT CUSHION

Natural cork in our contoured footbed achieves the perfect balance of support, flexibility and shock absorption.

ACTIVE NOT PASSIVE

Hydration, diet, stretching, muscle treatment, and yes, firm footwear are all part of a holistic, active recovery program.

STABLE NOT SQUISHY

Our footbed delivers firm stable support, encouraging a neutral stance with room for toes to stretch and spread, and a natural walking motion that encourages optimal circulation.

RUN.

BIRKENSTOCK.
