Footbed

The cork-latex footbed

Footbed

The basis and most important element of most styles in our besser gehen Shop is the anatomically moulded cork-latex footbed. Four perfectly combined layers guarantee the special wearing comfort that is renowned around the world. The footbed starts with a velvety soft, supple suede leather liner directly underneath the sole of the foot. It absorbs moisture and forwards it to the densely woven jute layer underneath. Then follows the true secret of the footbeds: the cushioning, flexible cork-latex centre (for children: cork-Alpro-Cell or cork-EVA-centre) which optimally takes up and supports each and every step. Finally the footbed features another – coarser – jute layer which stabilises the footbed and last but not least the shock absorbing EVA bottom sole.

The anatomic shape of the footbeds

The true anatomically moulded footbed is recognizable by seven marks of distinction all of which you can feel with you own two feet:

Birkenstock Footbed

(1) The deep heel cup gives the foot firm hold and supports connective tissue.

(2) The cross arch support with pelotte keeps the foot in the proper spot and guarantees safe standing.

(3) Inside and outside cross arch support keep the foot in the middle of the footbed and support balance. This effect improves the skeletal muscles of the foot.

(4) The pronounced toe gripper encourages intensive gripping motions of the toes and enhances the natural rolling motion of the foot. Circulation is improved.

(5) The cork-latex centre is particularly flexible and shock absorbing. The make-up of the materials in combination with the special shape provide for unique wearing comfort.

(6) The suede leather liner is particularly skin-friendly and guarantees a good climate around the foot.

(7) The footbed rim is cut extra high for superior protection of the toes.

Every footbed you find in the besser gehen shop is anatomically moulded. This special form has been developed based on decade-long research and experience with the particular anatomy of the foot in mind. Here you find a few essential key points which are important for every footbed. Feet require a flexible joint support which participates in all movements, keeps the foot naturally aligned and distributes body weight evenly across the entire foot. This way you walk particularly well and comfortably. Tests conducted throughout many years have proven it. A cork-latex mixture – and for kids a durable cork-EVA mixture – literally lend themselves to this purpose, because with the help of these material combinations every step is optimally cushioned and the foot is maintained in its natural track.
