Comfort
is a difficult thing to describe. Birkenstock Shoes
are unique in their comfort. It's something that's much
easier to sense slipping into a pair of our Birkenstock Shoes
than describing them. For example, after a strenuous day
in pumps, pointy-toed, flats or narrow-fitting shoes. The
comfort secret is the shoe's one of a kind fit. Our footbed
is available in two widths has been designed to mirror the
shape of a healthy foot. It supports you right where you
need it and gives you enough room to move freely. As a result,
you'll be able to walk and stand comfortably in your Birks
for hours on end.
Simply better: The original Birkenstock shoe.
Many fashion shoes leave comfort by the wayside: toes are
painfully constricted Feet have to adjust themselves narrow-fitting
shoes. Our thong sandals have found a healthy balance: the
depressions in the footbed help soothe toes back into their
natural position. If you love our sandals this is the next
closest thing. Soft and easy uppers are fully adjustable.
Features original Birkenstock contoured footbed, and shock
absorbing PU sole. Fully resoleable and renewable.
Simply more comfortable: no heels Sandals and other heelless
shoes enable you to walk naturally and help you to assume
natural body posture. Your calf muscles relax allowing for
90 per cent of your bodyweight to be supported by the rear
of your foot in particular by the heel bone, the foot's
strongest bone. The heel bone works as a natural shock absorber
with every step you take. It is equipped with a strong layer
of protective tissue that cushions every bit of physical
impact. A pump works differently: bodyweight is shifted
forward forcing the ball and front of your foot to carry
up to 50 per cent of it. Toes and the midfoot bones are
subjected to excessive stress, causing the calf muscles
to contract. The body assumes an unnecessarily crooked position
with the pelvis tilting forward and the spine contorting
in an unnatural position. Switching to heelless shoes is
therefore advisable to avoid foot, leg and back injuries.
We recommend: pumps when necessary - These sandals and shoes
as often as possible
