Although some of the more popular styles may be adopted into
our classic section and carried for years to come, most of these
color & style combinations will not beavailable after this
season. These styles or colors may be discontinued at the end
of the season. At that time you can search for them at the SaleShoeShack,
the internet's number one site discontinued and discounted footwear
in association with BirkenstockBeach.com Some of these styles
are the same as in the Classic section, but are using a particular
color, pattern, or material that makes this color and style
combination a seasonal one.
Birkenstock Materials
Once you find a style
you are interested in, it is helpful to know what the material is
on that particular style. The materials used to make Birkenstock
shoes and sandals can be divided into two categories: Leather and
Non-leather. Most of the styles that use Non-leather uppers (straps)
still use suede liners (under your foot.)
If you are looking for non-leather models, then check out our Classic
100% Non-Leather Styles.
Birkentock Leathers
Smooth Leather
A style
in smooth leather will have a shiny classic finish. If "leather"
is all that is listed, it refers to this type of finish. This
leather finish is easy to shine, polish, and clean since potential
stains slide right off. The smooth leather can be easily dressed
up, but is just as easily worn on casual days.
Suede
Leather
A suede
finish is very soft to the touch and is often the easiest to
break in. It has a rough appearance and therefore is better
suited for more casual outfits. Cleaning is also fairly easy
since once a cleaner is used, you just rough up the leather
again with a brush.
Nubuck Leather
This
leather finish has been buffed and looks similar to velvet.
It is not as soft as the suede, but is softer than the smooth
leather. Nubuck is a little harder to keep clean, so a leather
protector is recommended.
Waxy Leather
A waxy
finish has been applied over buffed leather resulting in a more
distressed look. The wax does help in protecting the leather.
It takes on a comfortable look.
Embossed
Leather
A variety
of patterns and textures are embossed onto a combination of
nubuck and smooth leather.
Burnished Leather
An Antique textured smooth leather with a glossy finish.
Birkenstock Non-Leather Options
100% Wool
Soft and fuzzy, it offers cozy comfort with breathability.
Birko-Flor
This option looks
like smooth leather but is actually a blend of acrylic and polyamide
felt fibers. All of the non-leather options are very soft and
easy to break in.
BirkiBuc
This option is the
non-leather version of nubuck and is made from the same materials
that birko-flor is made from.
Polyurethane
This water-and stain-resistant
material is used to create our Birki clogs.
EVA
(Ethyl Vinyl Acetate)
Softer and lighter
than polyurethane, EVA is water and stain resistant and is used
in our Birki Sport Clogs and in the soles of our classic styles.
Microfiber
Soft synthetic material with suede-like finish. Very durable for lasting comfort.
Birkofelt
Synthetic fibers are spun in an open weave to give a felt appearance. Very cozy looking!
Innovative Materials
Sympatex
Birkenstock makes
all of their hiking shoes using Sympatex®, a waterproof,
breatheable material to keep feet dry while allowing moisture
to pass through. Sympatex® is a non-porous membrane that
holds up under tough conditions and extended use. Sympatex®
is layered within the shoe covering to provide lasting comfort
and durability.

Important Notice - Footwear Care
Read the Insert
Inside each
box is a care tip sheet on how to protect and take care of your
Birkenstock footwear. It talks about cork sealer, resoling, heat
warning, etc.. Please read this insert: your Birkenstock footwear
will last longer!
Straps Too Loose? Consider Punching Holes
It is customary
to have extra holes punched in the straps of your new Birkenstocks.
A lot of the time people think that the pair they are trying on
is too big. When in fact, it is the right size, the straps just
need a few extra holes punched in them. Having enough holes allows
you to keep the front straps snug, so that your heels stay back
in the heel cup. The straps will then loosen as they are worn to
create a more comfortable fit. When you break in a pair of Birkenstocks,
it's important that your heel reaches all the way back in the heel
cup.
