Birkenstock Cork Sealer

FIt

Narrow vs Regular? If you've ever wondered why some Birkenstock styles fit your feet better than others, that’s because many Birkenstock styles come in two widths: narrow, which fits an average to narrow foot, and regular, which fits an average to wide foot. Danform Shoes doesn’t stock each model in both widths, but will happily place a special order for you.

Classic Footbed or Soft Footbed? All Birkenstock footbeds are designed to deliver first-class orthopedic support. Some have a classic firmer footbed while others have an added layer of cushion for a softer feel underfoot. For many it is a matter of personal preference, however, a firm footbed can provide much-needed support for the long haul.  The Classic Footbed is best for anyone who has an issue with foot perspiration.

Birko Flor® and Birkibuc vs Leather?

Birko Flor® and Birkibuc are synthetic, easy-to-clean alternatives to leather.  Birko Flor® has a leather-like finish and Birkibuc has a suede-like finish.

Note:  Do Not Store in Extreme Heat 

Cork Footbeds and EVA soles can be damaged by excessive heat as in a closed car or prolonged direct sunlight.

Danform Fit Specialist Recommendations

• In the ideal Birkenstock fit, the foot sits inside the cradle of the footbed without bumping against the front or hanging off the back.
• Be sure to tighten the front strap to hold your foot in place. The back strap may be tighter or looser depending on your personal preference.
• Take a few days to break in your new Birkenstocks before wearing them for a full day. Flexing the sole lightly to promote a slight bend will initiate the “break-in” process
