An Overview of All Materials
From Natural to Vegan
BIRKENSTOCK uses high-quality types of leather, carefully selected textiles and synthetic/blended fabrics to produce sandals and shoes. All materials are produced responsibly and continuously monitored to ensure they are kind to skin.
Leather
Leather is one of the most robust natural materials used in traditional shoe manufacturing. BIRKENSTOCK uses very high-quality, especially thick, unsplit leather.
Oiled Leather
This is one of our favorite leather types; the oil and wax applied offer a beautiful two tone effect and create a magnific aging effect.
Nubuck Leather
Is made out of the best quality leather by gently buffing the top grain. Nubuck is a high- luxury leather with a special velvety touch which evolves into a patina look.
Full Grain Leathers
We use high-quality thick full grain natural leathers – most are smooth and some tumbled. This type of leather ensures great comfort and has many special features, such as breathability, insulation, adaptation to the feet shape and durability.
