Material Information

Leathers Birkenstock uses the highest quality leathers available for lasting durability.
Smooth Leather All styles denoted simply as "leather" have this classic smooth finish.	Suede Chosen from select hides, this soft, thick, napped leather is exceptionally comfortable.
Nubuck Quality leather that is buffed to a soft and velvety finish.	Waxy A waxy finish is applied to buffed leather resulting in this fashionable, distressed look.
Embossed Nubuck and smooth leather are embossed with special patterns or textures.
Non-Leather Materials Our non-leather materials are breathable, durable, and hold their "new" look longer than most real leathers.
100% Wool Soft and fuzzy, it offers cozy comfort with breathability.	Birko-Flor® Made of acrylic and polyamide felt fibers, Birko-Flor® is a soft fabric with a smooth leather-like finish.
Birkibuc® Made of the same Birko-Flor® material, Birkibuc® offers a textured finish that looks and feels like velvety nubuck.	Polyurethane This water-and-stain-resistant material is used to create our Birki® Clogs and some of our soles. It's shock absorbing, comfortable, and durable.
EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) Softer and lighter than polyurethane, EVA is water and stain resistant, shock absorbing, and used to create our Birki Sport Clogs and most of our soles.
