The magic of the BIRKENSTOCK Soft Footbed
We have a confession to make. Turns out, there is something more comfortable than a BIRKENSTOCK sandal. Yes, it’s true. And, it would be a shame to keep that kind of comfort a secret. Wanna know what it is? The only thing more comfortable than a BIRKENSTOCK sandal is a BIRKENSTOCK sandal with a Soft Footbed.
The heart and soul of our philosophy of comfort manifest in the legendary footbed. A term we coined in the 1930s, it was used to describe contoured inner soles with support elements. The footbed takes inspiration from the natural footprint on fine sand and mimics the comfort you experience while walking on a soft, sandy beach.
With a desire to add more comfort to your walking experience, we went one step further and introduced the soft footbed. Read on to find out what makes the soft footbed different:
BIRKENSTOCK Soft Footbed: The Quintessence of Comfort
Our footbed is designed to keep you comfortable at all times. The anatomically shaped footbed consists of a deep heel cup, transverse and longitudinal arch support, and a toe box. The roomy design allows your feet to spread out naturally, and the rises and indentations offer optimum support. The footbed aids in the rolling motion of walking, ensures a natural and comfortable stance, prevents ankle twisting, and promotes great foot health. Our footbed is often copied but never equaled.
While the standard footbed consists of four layers for stability and comfort, the soft footbed features an extra layer:
- First Jute Style: This forms the base of our footbed, and offers stabilization to the other layers.
- Cork Latex Bed: This layer is the heart of the footbed. The cushioning and flexibility of this layer relieve the foot. The natural materials have an insulating effect, thus ensuring a good foot climate by regulating the heat and cold.
- Second Jute Style: This layer is applied to the edge of the bedding. The dense jute layer is majorly responsible for enhancing flexibility and ensuring the longevity of the sandal. The natural material helps in regulating moisture.
- Foam Insert: This is where the magic happens. This foam insert separates the regular footbed from the soft footbed. It consists of millions of tiny air bubbles that offer a special wearing experience. This anatomically shaped insert ensures a more comfortable fit.
- Suede Cover: The high-quality natural suede leather layer finishes the footbed and offers moisture absorption and helps regulate the foot climate.
The soft footbed is marked by the logo and details printed in blue on the footbed.
