For decades Birkenstock has stood for style and comfort – and the fashion scene is excited about it today. Buying a Birkenstock means investing in minimalistic design, high quality and perfectly fitted function. The most important element of Birkenstock items is the anatomically shaped cork and latex footbed. Four matched layers provide a special comfort. Directly underneath the sole of the foot begins the bedding with a velvety, supple suede leather cover sole. This absorbs moisture and forwards it to an underlying, tightly woven jute layer. Next comes the absorbing, flexible cork-latex core, which receives and supports every step. The bedding is completed by another coarse jute layer, which serves to stabilise.
