Frequently Asked Questions about Birkenstock

What makes Birkenstock footbeds different from regular shoe soles?

They’re built with a contoured cork and latex footbed that mirrors your foot’s anatomy—featuring arch support, a deep heel cup and roomy toe box—so they deliver a custom-fit feel over time.

Can I wear Birkenstocks for skate or active use?

While Birkenstocks aren’t built as skateboarding shoes, they pair well for low-impact, post-session wear and fit naturally into casual streetwear looks. For skate action, stick to dedicated skate shoes.

Are Birkenstocks only sandals, or do they offer other styles too?

Beyond the iconic two-strap sandals, the brand offers closed-toe shoes, clogs and water-friendly EVA versions—so you can roll through summer days or transition into cooler seasons without switching labels.
