Footbed Information

Classic vs. Soft Footbeds

Both footbeds have the same arch support that Birkenstock is known for and are made from cork, latex, & jute. The soft footbed has a layer of memory foam along the top of the footbed to provide more cushion than the classic footbed.

If you are unsure what footbed you currently have: the Birkenstock name on the suede footbed liner is printed in black (or yellow) on the Classics and printed in blue on the Soft Footbed. You can also look for the blue Soft Footbed logo in the heel cups.

Wide vs. Narrow Footbeds

Birkenstocks are generally made in two widths: Regular/Wide and Narrow/Regular. Regular/Wide is the most common width for Birks built on a cork footbed. To determine the width of your Birks, look for the footshape on the suede footbed liner.
