The Smooth Leather Footbed
A LEGENDARY DESIGN
The heart of all models is the original BIRKENSTOCK footbed. The construction, which has been thought out to the smallest detail and makes it feel like you're standing in sand, helps your feet feel as comfortable as possible for hours on end. This supports health and promotes wellbeing.
Heel bar
Activates the calf muscles, stabilises the rear foot, and improves gait and coordination
Inner and outer longitudinal arch supports
The arch supports running lengthwise along the lateral edges of the footbed surround the tarsal bones on the inside and outside. This provides the foot with the necessary stability when walking
TRANSVERSAL ARCH SUPPORT
The support running transversely across the centre of the footbed stabilises the metatarsal bones. In this way, the transverse arch support promotes a natural, straight, and stable stance of the foot
Toe grips
The front part of the footbed in the toe area is equipped with raised sections. Thanks to the toe grips, the toes remain relaxed and spread in their natural position. The raised sections also support the natural rolling motion of the toes
Bed edge
The footbed extends particularly high at the front. The high edge of the bed protects the toes during the rolling motion of the foot
