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.

EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) is a lightweight, waterproof, and shock-absorbent material used in some Birkenstock styles like the Arizona EVA and Gizeh EVA. It provides flexibility, cushioning, and comfort, perfect for the beach, pool or casual wear. EVA sandals feature the same contoured Birkenstock footbed design for support, just in a single moulded material.

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.

The most popular Birkenstock colours are timeless neutrals like Taupe Suede, Black Leather, and Stone, versatile shades that pair with almost anything. Seasonal favourites like Metallic Copper or Mocha also stay in high demand. These classic tones highlight Birkenstock’s natural materials and effortless style that never goes out of fashion.

Not all thongs are bad for your feet — it depends on the design. Cheap, flat flip-flops offer no arch support or cushioning, which can cause heel pain, fatigue, or instability. However, supportive options like FitFlop thong sandals are a different story. FitFlop designs feature ergonomic midsoles, arch contouring, and shock absorption, helping to align your feet and reduce strain. They provide the casual comfort of a thong with the support of a wellness shoe. So while basic thongs are best for the beach, FitFlop thongs are a smart, stylish choice for everyday comfort and long-term foot health.

No — it’s not illegal to drive in thongs in Australia. However, it’s recommended to choose footwear that gives you good control of the pedals. Loose or slippery thongs can sometimes make driving less safe. If you’re after a secure, supportive option, Archies thongs are a great choice — their snug fit and contoured design stay comfortably on your foot, even when you’re behind the wheel.

Absolutely. The contoured arch support in Archies footwear helps reduce pressure on the heel and plantar fascia, which can ease discomfort from plantar fasciitis. The soft foam footbed cushions every step while maintaining proper foot alignment. If you’re looking for an easy everyday option that supports recovery and comfort, Archies thongs and slides from Bstore are an excellent choice.
