• Upper material: Birko-Flor®
  Birko-Flor® is a skin-friendly, tear-resistant, and easy-to-care-for synthetic material which is exclusively used by Birkenstock.
• Insole: Natural leather
  Natural leather can be recognized by its untreated surface. Birkenstock purposely does not treat surface grains and other characteristic features. Birkenstock uses sturdy leather with a thickness of 2.8 to 3.2 millimeters as upper material.
• Footbed material: Cork
  Cork is a sustainable material extracted from the bark layer of the cork oak. This natural product is insulating and offers very good cushioning.
• Outsole: EVA
  EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) is a high-quality, very light, elastic material with extremely good cushioning. As a result, it smooths out slight irregularities in the floor and ensures that every step is softly cushioned.
• Color: Graceful taupe
