Birkenstock Atacama – Adventure-Ready Comfort, Secure Fit

The Atacama takes the classic two-strap style and builds it for outdoor adventures. Designed for off-road and water-based activities, it swaps traditional buckles for easy hook-and-loop fasteners to keep the fit secure while you're on the move.

Set on a moulded PU footbed with a rugged PU/TPU outsole, Atacama delivers comfort, stability and grip where it counts. Practical, supportive and made for getting outside—this is everyday comfort, ready for adventure.

Features:

  • Anatomically shaped Birkenstock footbed for natural alignment
  • Water-friendly, durable synthetic upper
  • Adjustable cross straps for a secure, customised fit
  • Textured outsole for enhanced grip and stability
  • Lightweight, shock-absorbing EVA sole
  • Designed for outdoor wear and active days

Such a great idea, the Atacama. You're still getting that classic Birkenstock support that you need but no exposed cork so if they do get wet, no worries there, just let them fully dry before wearing again (not in direct sunlight).

A short break-in period, up to two weeks, is completely normal with Birkenstocks. The Atacama footbed may be a bit firmer because of the materials so it may take a little bit longer to get used to. If you are a first-time wearer, you should take it slow, your feet may not be used to this much support. When the fit is right, you should have around 5mm of space at both the toe and heel. That little bit of room lets your foot move naturally in the footbed as you walk.

The cross town sole is great for outdoor activities offering excellent grip. The velcro gives a nice, snug fit. The full cross town range is nice for people looking for a bit more width than the basic styles. Because you have more flexibility in the sole, many customers who have wider feet find the Cross Town more comfortable.

Shoes must be returned within 30 days of purchase, unworn or in their original condition. Sale can be exchanged/store credit only.

Frequently Asked Questions

The signature Birkenstock footbed is what sets Birkenstock apart. Crafted from natural cork and latex, it’s designed to contour to the shape of your foot over time, giving you custom support and comfort that gets better with wear. Each footbed features arch support, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box for natural alignment. Whether you’re shopping at Bstore or browsing a Birkenstock sale for your next pair, you can always count on that iconic comfort that supports every step.

Birkenstock uses European sizing, with regular and narrow widths for the best fit. Check Bstore’s size guide to find your ideal match — and remember, a proper fit means ultimate comfort.

Wipe with a damp cloth and use cork sealer to prevent cracks. Keep them away from extreme heat for longer life. Find cork care products at Bstore to keep your sandals looking fresh.

A good pair of men’s sandals should fit snugly without pinching or slipping. Your heel should sit comfortably within the footbed, and there should be about a finger’s width of space in front of your toes. Straps should feel secure but not tight. If you’re between sizes, go up slightly for a better fit, especially if you plan on walking long distances or wearing them with socks.

Men’s sandals are more versatile than ever. Slide them on with tailored shorts and a linen shirt for summer weekends, or team them with chinos and a tee for a relaxed, smart-casual look. Leather sandals add polish, while sporty or cushioned styles work well for off-duty days. Keep colours classic- think black, tan or olive and you’re set for any occasion.
