Are you wearing Birkenstock on your feet? You might be wearing Birkenstock shoes but you also might be wearing Birkenstock arch support insoles. The main thing is that if you like the brand name Birkenstock and everything that they stand for, then you should know what’s available. The company is constantly upgrading their product line.
Here are a few of their products so you can get some Birkenstock on your feet!
- Birkenstock BirkoSport Arch Supports – It’s very rare that an arch support looks like this one. You’ll find a naturally-contoured arch support and a raised platform that raises your toes into their natural position in these BirkoSport orthotics. Great for those with toe issues and those who want to prevent toe issues.
- Birkenstock Blue Footbeds – These use the Birkenstock signature cork-lined BirkoCork moleskin bottom with the BirkoZell Foam Cushion top piece. The moleskin bottom is anti-slip and acts to lengthen the life of the product.
The Foam top wicks away moisture from the feet. Interestingly, this is another rare find in any orthotic or insole because it’s a two-piece unit where you make the decision to wear one part of it or both. It’s heat-moldable like the BirkoSports.
There’s one additional feature in this product that isn’t really seen much if at all in other insole lines – the raised flanges. Birkenstock wants to make sure your feet are staying aligned and the way to do that is to raise the sides of the insole/orthotic.
Think about it for a moment – when you put your foot on top of an orthotic or insole, what’s to stop your foot from falling over to one side or the other? The raised sides are like training wheels on a bicycle that someone is learning to ride. They keep you on track.
- Birkenstock BirkoBalance Children’s Arch Support Insoles are a way for you to get kids trained to always keep Birkenstock on their feet! These are ideal for toddlers, kids and older kids – and perfect for athletic shoes, dress shoes and casual shoes.
Your children receive support for the heel, their arches – both medial longitudinal and metatarsal, and are waterproof, too. These also will have the raised flanges on the sides to insure that the feet stay in their appropriate alignment. That means your children’s feet won’t overpronate (fall to the inside) or oversupinate (fall to the outside) when they walk. Birkenstock insoles are one of the few on the market to address oversupination. This is where someone walks more on the outside of the foot than distributing their weight exactly down the middle of the foot. The opposite of oversupination is overpronation.
- Birkenstock Blue Footbed WIDE Casual Arch Support Insoles – When you want Birkenstock on your feet and your feet are wide, have no fear – Birkenstock is here for you. Many companies seem to ignore those in the demographic of wide feet but not this highly reputable brand. Wide feet need a raised metatarsal pad, which you’ll find in this insole. Many people with wide feet will have low arches or medium arches so if you’re in this group of people, grab a pair.
So how will you get Birkenstock on your feet today? Which one appeals most to you?
