The Betula footbed

Our goal is to allow, everyone around the globe to experience the advantages of the Betula footbed. With our considerable experience dating back to 1774, we know how important the Betula footbed is for optimum posture, natural walking and running, and overall well-being.

5 good reasons for Betula:

• Toe grip:
  The unique form of the toe grip encourages the natural gripping motion of your feet, the ridge construction also stimulates blood circulation.
• Arch support:
  Stabilises the mid-section of the foot.
• Longitudinal arch support:
  Supports the natural foot stance.
• Footbed:
  Is flexible and shock-absorbent.
• Heel cup:
  Deep bedding in the heel area provides excellent stability and pressure relief to the heel bone.

We no longer allow our feet the way of life which is natural for them: The Betula footbed.

A healthy foot needs hold, guidance and support in the right places, without being restricted. This is what is special about the Betula sole, the basis for all our shoes.
Developed over 230 years of experience at the House of Birkenstock, we make the sole in its unmistakably correct anatomical shape. The sole is carefully produced from selected materials, in an environmentall-friendly manufacturing process. The standards of German quality set the benchmark for our products. We have charged ourselves with making the correct sole available, in the form of Betula shoes, as a tool for general well-being. This requires a company which can think and operate globally. At the forefront of our thinking is always the consideration of the most diverse interests and requirements of our customers. We value them. And we constantly maintain the highest quality, a large range of products, a reasonable price range and products which protect the environment.
