Birko-Flor® is a skin-
friendly, tear-resistant,
easy-care material.
The upper layer of this
material has a leathery
structure and a soft
fleece is built into the
lower layer. Birko-Flor is
a progressive and
inexpensive alternative
to leather.
The leather we use is
super thick (about three
millimetres) yet supple.
Natural leather is instantly
identifiable by its smell
and the different contours
and colours that
characterise its surface.
We do not use any
artificial dyes to cover
up these differences as
we want to keep the
leather open-pored and
breathing.
Embossed leather:
The bark-like surface
structure gives the
Birkenstock leather
a particularly expressive
character.
We only use extra-strong,
highly durable leather for
our suede leather shoes.
Here too, the slight
differences in the
structure are the hallmark
of real leather.
A special finishing process
gives this material
a surface layer which
doesn't just look
like leather but feels like
leather too..
Birko®-felt:
Birko®-felt is made of
a woolpulp mixture and
synthetic fibre felt.
This mixture is practically
untearable, but still
permeable to air and
skin-friendly.
Microfibre:
The high-quality microfibre
we use for our Birkenstock
shoes has a delicate look
that resembles Nubuk
leather.
This material is expecially
light, very permeable to air,
durable and skin-friendly.
