Birkenstock Zurich BS en daim en relief (cordes de pierre de pierre)

Birkenstock is best known for its contoured cork footbed. The design supports the natural shape of the foot and focuses on long term comfort rather than short term cushioning. This approach has stayed consistent for decades.

Yes. Birkenstock sandals are designed to be worn daily. Many people choose them for walking, travel, or extended time on their feet because the footbed provides structure and support throughout the day.

Most men’s styles offer a roomy fit with adjustable straps. Many models come in regular and narrow widths. If you are between sizes, sizing down often gives a better fit since the footbed molds over time.

Birkenstock uses natural cork, latex, suede, leather, and EVA depending on the style. The cork footbed is a core feature across most collections and helps with shock absorption and stability.

Care depends on the upper material. Leather and suede benefit from occasional cleaning and protection. The cork footbed should be kept dry and sealed when needed to prevent cracking and extend wear.
