Get your feet ready for this summer with the comfort and style of Birkenstock!

Summer is coming and with it comes the desire to return to sandals and cooler footwear. But keeping your feet cool and comfortable on the hottest days is not always easy. The solution? Invest in quality footwear that respects the nature of our feet. For this, we present to you Birkenstock.

Over 250 years old, it dates back to rural Germany, when two brothers began creating simple yet functional and robust footwear. Since then, the brand has evolved, maintaining the quality and ergonomics of its footwear as its core values. Today, with production in Germany and Portugal, Birkenstock continues to win hearts (and feet!) all over the world.

But what makes Birkenstocks more than just sandals?

Environmental and social sustainability: For this brand, concern for the environment and people is more than just a trend. Some of the aspects that set it apart are:

Use of sustainable materials such as natural latex, jute, and water-based glues, selected with the future of our planet in mind.
The brand gives a new purpose to surplus skins from the food industry, avoiding waste and promoting a circular economy.
Minimal use of chemicals - pure metal buckles, leather without chemical treatments.
Production in factories in Europe that meet strict welfare standards for their workers, ensuring fair and safe working conditions.

Ergonomic design, recommended by orthopedists:

Our feet are the foundation of our body. They support us in all our daily activities and are rarely cared for properly. While most footwear ignores the natural curvature of our feet, Birkenstock not only protects it, it enhances it.

Birkenstock insoles include support points that respect the morphology of the foot, ensuring stability with each step and correcting posture. Thanks to this, they are much more comfortable, preventing back pain, for example, for those who spend a lot of time standing.

These support points may seem strange at first, but as you wear them, the Birkenstock insole molds itself perfectly to your foot, even correcting the way you walk. The more you wear them, the more comfortable they become!

The secret to comfort: Birkenstock insoles:

Birkenstock's big secret lies in its insoles. Composed of 4 layers, they guarantee comfort, freshness and protection for your feet.

The main layer is the cork and latex core. It serves to cushion your footfall, protect your feet from the cold/heat of the floor (cork is a natural thermoregulator) and create the support points.
This layer is stabilized by two layers of jute, another natural material, which makes the sandals more resistant and comfortable. .
The suede top layer absorbs moisture, keeping your feet dry and providing an incredibly soft and comfortable feel.

How to care for Birkenstocks

We want your Birkenstock sandals to be in perfect condition and to last you several summers. To do this, there are a few things you can do to ensure that they are in perfect condition.

Because these shoes use only natural, chemical-free products, they should not be exposed to water or humidity. This exposure can cause stains on the leather, rust on the metal buckles and cracks in the cork.
To clean your sandals, simply use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and rub gently.
The use of cleaning products, even those specifically designed for natural leather, can darken the leather on the sandals, so we do not recommend using them.

Just take care of them, keep them from getting wet, let them air out and you will have sustainable sandals that will take your comfort to a new level, over several summers.
