Compared to your average soft sandal or shoes, Birkenstocks are much safer and healthier.

* The footbed is contoured in the shape of a healthy foot, to make sure that your weight is evenly distributed, and the raised arches support the natural shape of the foot.

* The toe bar lets the toes stretch and grip, aiding in balance and circulation, giving exercise to the leg.

* Under the heel, the deep cup keeps the foot stable by keeping the foot’s natural padding underheel.

The soles absorb shock, and the shoe molds to your feet, responding to your body heat. The more you wear your Birkenstocks, the more comfortable they become. It’s as though they were custom made for your feet. They come in a wide array of colors that are equally durable, as they have been dyed all the way through.
