Do you usually go out for a run? or play any sport? Then, you know that it is common to experience some soreness in your muscles after an unusually strenuous activity, or when you are new to it. it is equally important to recover your body to its natural form. Usually, recovery happens with muscle treatment, stretching, good diet, and hydration. BIRKENSTOCK adds another dimension that is often overlooked: firm footwear.
For BIRKENSTOCK, both style and comfort have always held equal importance. But what we really wanted to do was provide more than just comfort. We wanted to promote and offer good foot health to everyone, and also specialised solutions.
BIRKENSTOCK sandals are designed thus to aid you in your recovery process after active sports. Our legendary footbed makes the foundation of active recovery. With the anatomically shaped contoured design that has a deep heel cup, longitudinal and traverse arch support, a toe box, and a toe bar, it helps your feet maintain natural position even during movement and aids the rolling motion of walking. While the traditional recovery route involves the passive approach of providing extra cushioning, BIRKENSTOCK believes in initiating the body’s adaptive responses, reduces the proneness to injury, and promotes muscular benefits. Our active recovery philosophy goes like this:
- Firm not Foam: The firm footbed with its arches supports and distributes your weight evenly.
- Cork not Cushion: The natural cork footbed offers balance, support, flexibility, and shock absorption.
- Stable not Squishy: Our stable footbed promotes a good stance with enough room for toes that boosts natural walking motion and blood circulation.
Though we offer a variety of styles, we want you to feel absolutely comfortable when you are in recovery mode. So, we offer you our most comfortable and favored styles:
Arizona: The classic sandal is the most preferred BIRKENSTOCK for a reason. With its double strapped upper design providing optimum grip from above and the footbed mitigating your feet from below, Arizona provides unparalleled comfort and ubiquitous style. The adjustable buckles enable a custom fit. The regular, soft footbed, and vegan variants are all ideal for wearing during recovery as well as habitually. The sandals are available in leather varieties, Birko-Flor, and nubuck leather in a spectrum of dark neutral shades.
Boston: The classic BIRKENSTOCK clog holds a very special place in the hearts and shoe racks of our patrons. It offers the best of both worlds: the grip and comfort of a closed shoe with the ease of a slip-on sandal. The single strap with an adjustable metal pin buckle allows you to tighten or loosen it as per your comfort. Boston is available in regular, soft footbed, and vegan variants in dark neutrals, and is perfect during recovery, as well as an adventurous day spent outdoors.
