At the heart of every Birkenstock is the footbed that started it all. That’s right, Birkenstock invented the contoured footbed, introducing the concept in the 1930s for anatomically shaped insoles with incredible support. Here’s a look at what their cork footbed means for your feet:

Maybe you spend time vacationing or have kids who enjoy the outdoors. Birkenstock’s EVA styles are perfect choice. In particular, parents love the functional features the EVA styles provide. EVA stands for ethylene vinyl acetate, a high-quality, lightweight, elastic material with very good cushioning. It’s skin-friendly, odourless and washable which makes it an obvious no-brainer for your kids. Plus, EVA smooths out slight irregularities in the floor and ensures that every step is softly cushioned so you can remain as relaxed and comfortable as possible while pool (or ocean)-side!
