The material
When choosing the perfect Birkenstock sandals, it is important to consider the material. At Gumpel & Co. we primarily offer luxury versions of Birkenstock sandals, which are made of high-quality leather and suede. The leather sandals give a classic and timeless look at the same time as a firmer fit that molds to your foot over time and ensures a personal fit. Suede is a little more casual and has a softer fit, due to the softer material.
Footbed: Hard or soft?
Birkenstock sandals are known for their ergonomic footbeds, but it's important to choose the right type for your foot. There are two main types of footbeds: hard and soft.
The hard model can be identified by the black lettering on the sole, providing firmer support, ideal for those looking for extra stability. The hard footbed may also be marked with gold lettering (models with leather footbeds) or green lettering (models with vegan straps).
The soft footbed can be recognized by the blue writing in the sole, which provides more responsive support and extra comfort, making them perfect for daily use and longer periods on your feet.
Think about your personal preference and need for support when choosing between the two.
Width: Find the perfect fit
To ensure that your Birkenstock sandals fit perfectly, you should also consider the width. At Gumpel & Co. we offer two different widths: narrow and regular.
The narrow model can be recognized by the image of the footprint in the sole being filled in with color, while the normal width only has the outline of the footprint drawn.
There is no measuring guide to guide you on this point, which is why it is important that you try the sandals on. It is important that the foot lies properly in the "bowl" and does not rest on the edges.
