Natural Leather

Leather is one of the most robust natural materials used in traditional shoe manufacturing. Birkenstock natural leather is selected for its particularly high quality and thickness. Apply a good quality cream polish to remove scuff marks and a beeswax dressing to keep the leather conditioned, moisturised and supple.

Footbed Construction

A lot goes into the construction of the iconic Birkenstock footbed. Natural latex is used to bind the cork and create the contoured foundation (2), two layers of jute provide flexibility and durability (1, 3), and water based, solvent free adhesives bring it all together. Top it off with a suede or animal-free lining (4) and the result - a truly supportive footbed that follows the contours of your feet and moves with you.

Supergrip Sole

The Birkenstock Supergrip sole consists of a cushioned EVA midsole and non-slip, oil and grease rubber tread, making it ideal for use in medical or hospitality settings. The Supergrip sole is available in select Birkenstock styles including the Kay, Tokio, Boston models with 'supergrip' in their title or description.

Birkenstock Classic Fit Details

This Birkenstock runs true to size. We recommend sticking with your usual size and refer to the Size Guide if you are unsure.

This Birkenstock provides support features including longitudinal, metatarsal and transverse arch support, a heel cup and mold, and raised toe bar for basic orthotic support.

Birkenstock Classic Size Guide

How to find your size

Step 1

Stand on a level floor with your heel up against the wall or straight edge.

Step 2

Place a ruler or measuring tape on the floor under your foot or alongside it, with your heel at 0cm.

Step 3

Measure the length of your foot from your heel to the end of your longest toe (yes, even if it's your second toe).

Step 4

Measure both feet and go with the length of your longest foot if they are different.

Step 5

Add 10mm to your foot length to allow your foot room to move. This will give you the footbed length you need to find your size.

Step 6

Check out the size charts below to find your size in EU (all Birkenstock sizes are listed in EU).

Step 7

Measure the width of your foot across the broadest point. Compare your foot width measurement to the footbed width in your size to see if you will need a narrow or regular width. (If you are in between sizes, we recommend going for the larger size)

Most Birkenstock styles are available in 'regular' or 'narrow' width.

Narrow width is suitable for narrow to slender feet.

Regular width is suitable for normal to wide feet.

If you already own a pair of Birkenstocks or are trying them on in store - check out the little foot symbol on the footbed. If the foot is coloured in, it's a narrow (N). If it's just an outline of a foot, it's a regular (R).

    Great all rounder shoes

    I have been wearing these everywhere from day one, including work.. I am a hairstylist. I am able to stand on them ALL DAY, with out getting tiered feet.. I love the adjustable strap at the back of the shoe as well.. I have had a injured foot & due to the width I have been able to continue working. The only thing I was a little disappointed with, was that the black rubbed off onto my foot through the socks I was wearing. That is starting to go away now..
