Kind to your feet. The Birkenstock Bali model, like other
Birkenstock sandals is made of finely punched leather, giving it a
feminine note. The Birkenstock Rio model is for those preferring a sporty look. We use 3
millimeters strong, soft upper material for both models. The contoured Cork/EVA footbed and shock absorbing Eva sole provide
all day comfort. Completely repairable and resoleable. See our Birkenstock sale page.
Our tip: always try on new Birkenstocks while standing, leaving the straps unfastened you'll find it easier to
determine the ideal width and length for you. As a result, you'll have a better posture and your Birkenstocks will last longer.
Cross section of the footbed: There is a soft, anatomically shaped cork latex core between the various jute layers. The lower jute layer provides stability while the upper, denser jute layer absorbs moisture. Layering these together along with the suede leather cover sole ensures an optimum climate for your feet and unsurpassed wearing comfort.

Birkenstock materials: natural Birkenstock sandal or
Birkenstock clog - the foundation of each and every model is a footbed fashioned from natural and renewable materials. We only use the finest, high-quality cork made from cork oak bark, which grows back on the tree after removal. The rubber tree's natural sap (latex) is another crucial component of the footbed. Each footbed also contains two layers of jute yarn, made from the
fibers of a plant that grows in the Southeast Asian marshlands. These quality materials come together and by virtue of their composition form a flexible, light, moisture-absorbent, heat and cold-resistant
footbed. All these factors contribute to the high comfort level and the pleasant foot climate provided by
Birkenstock sandals.
