Rooted in functionality and timeless design, Birkenstock’s closed shoe collection reaffirms the brand’s commitment to natural walking. Honouring the evolution of Birkenstock’s centuries of footwear expertise, built on the orthopaedic principles of the legendary footbed, the shoe collection offers precisely engineered support to the wearer.
Born from a blend of traditional craftsmanship and innovation, this shoe collection is made from premium materials and designed to perform in everyday environments and beyond. The brand’s footwear line is under the footbed-first philosophy, and combines biomechanics, care in design and premium materials to create truly high-performance shoes. The taupe colour in which the shoes are available reflects a solid and timeless aesthetic.
The collection’s flagship models, Highwood Low Lace and Utti, are built around the Deep Blue Footbed, while the Birkenstock Bend Decon and Pasadena feature the original cork and latex footbed for lightweight flexibility. The multi-layered structure of the Deep Blue Footbed helps reduce tension, supports stability and allows natural walking motion, making the shoes perfect for all-day wear. The anatomical transverse arch supports the midfoot, providing stability and relieving pressure on the sole. The medial longitudinal arch supports the inner arch of the foot and prevents it from sagging, while the lateral longitudinal arch supports the outer arch for improved stability of the foot from heel to midfoot. Finally, the deep heel cup provides stability, support and better balance with every step.
