The BIRKENSTOCK Zürich model combines the stability of a closed-toe shoe with the lightness of a sandal and is popular in equal measure among both men and women. Although closed at the sides this version is open at the toes and heel to ensure the feet get enough fresh air. Thanks to two straps with stylish vintage-look metal buckles the shaft can be adjusted to feet of all shapes.Perfect fit is of particular importance with foot-health sandals. The correct footbed width enhances comfort tremendously. With the two-widths system by Birkenstock it is guaranteed that your foot is always positioned properly within the footbed and the healthy natural shape of the foot is maintained.For particularly sensitive feet we offer some models with the added feature of our SOFT-FOOTBED, which Birkenstock developed in years of intensive research. A foam cushion is inserted between the flexible cork latex mixture, coated in sturdy natural jute, and the suede leather cover sole.This layer is marked by an exceptionally pronounced recoil function, which ensures long-life padding.
