Catalogueg
Printing of the FOOTPRINTS catalogue is climate-neutral,i.e. CO2-emissions that occur during production of thecatalogue are calculated and then compensated by investments in recognised climate protection projects.The paper for our catalogue comes exclusively from sustainable certified forestry.
Cork
The extraordinary properties of natural cork were well-known to the ancients and even then it was used formanufacturing the soles of shoes. With good reason:cork combines the highest requirements for elasticity,cushioning and insulation in a natural raw material.This makes it the perfect material for our FOOTPRINTSfootbeds (also see page 07/66).
Customer Service
FOOTPRINTS shoes are not disposable products. All ourshoes are processed and manufactured to be long-lasting,repairable and provide customer satisfaction over manyyears. For this reason, our customer service is availablefor you during the entire lifetime of your shoe and be-yond. This starts with our delivery service and includesreplacement of footbeds and professional repairs.
Glossary
Footbed
The FOOTPRINTS footbed has been perfectly adapted to the human anatomy and gently transfers your body weightfrom the centre to the front of your foot in order to evenlydistribute it across the entire foot when walking, standingor running. Even your toes are free to move naturally (for example, spreading out when rolling your foot from heel to toe). We only use natural materials to make the footbeds such as jute, latex and cork. This ensures the best possi-ble transport of moisture and a healthy foot environment.All FOOTPRINTS footbeds can be removed for airing orwashing (at 30°C) and replacements can of course be
ordered for all models (also see page 07/66).
Hang-Tagg g
For instantly recognisable quality, we label every pairof FOOTPRINTS with a hang tag. It represents the mostimportant features of our shoes: the replaceable footbed,the natural materials and all the knowledge and experi-
ence from 200 years of Birkenstock.
Hand-sewn
Our FOOTPRINTS Originals are hand-sewn and manufac-tured in the best shoemaker tradition.This means the upper and sole are sewn together by handin a precise and intricate process. This is workmanshipthat requires particular dexterity and an experienced eye.Unlike machine-sewn shoes, every FOOTPRINTS Originalis a genuinely unique item characterised by outstanding durability, a perfect fit and maximum wearing comfort (also see page 35).

5FOOTPRINTS 2013
FOOTPRINTS are shoes as we would choose to wear them: comfortable, long-lasting companions for business and leisure. With the knowledge and experience that comes from more than 200 years of Birkenstock history and according to state-of-the-art expertise. For this, we only use carefully sourced raw materials and premium materials that we process with traditional shoemaking craftsmanship.
With our partner companies in Bad Lobenstein (Thu-ringia), Steinau (Hesse), Görlitz (Saxony) and Caldas de Vizela (Portugal), we combine many years of close cooperation and a common understanding of craftsman-ship and quality. Numerous employees working in these companies have been practising their trade for more than four decades – with all the passion and dedication that makes a good shoe a much-loved companion: then as now, today and in the future.
Comfort from tradition
Tradition and innovation,
craft and dedication:
FOOTPRINTS are more than the
materials that they are made
from. You can see that at first
glance – and feel it with every
single step.
N A T U R A L C O R K
_For a healthy foot environment and outstanding wear
comfort, we only use natural materials such as jute, latex
and pure natural cork. Cork is a sustainable raw material
with extraordinary features: it is light and elastic whilst
being shock-absorbing and also protects from the cold,
heat and damp.
_The cork for our footbeds comes directly from sustain-
ably managed Portuguese cork forests – unique ecosys-
tems which can only be preserved today thanks to their
economic usage.

_ The footbed is the heart of our shoes. We have perfectly
customised it to the anatomy of the human foot so that
natural movements can take place unimpeded – almost as
if you are walking barefoot.
_ In addition, your body weight is gently distributed across
the entire foot area: this supports and relieves pressure
and ensures constantly relaxed feet even after a long
period of walking or standing.
_ Our footbeds can be washed at 30°C, replaced or be
adapted by orthopaedic shoemakers. They have always
been manufactured in Germany.
_ You can find an overview of our footbeds on page 66.

– no matter how long it
lasts.
_ City trips or trade fairs, business or everyday, walking or standing – we demand a lot of our feet. Our new lightweight models make it easier for you – and at least 100 gram-mes lighter per shoe compared to conventional models. The secret is the exceptionally light sole made from hard-wearing polyurethane which, with millions of ultra-fine air bubbles, gently cushions your steps and protects your joints.
_ Supple natural leather perfectly adapts to every movement.
_ The anatomically shaped footbed made from natural materials such as cork and jute provides optimal support, ensures a dry foot climate and can be replaced for a new one if required.
_ Lightweight models for ladies can be found from page 20, and for men from page 54.

Freedom for your toes
So that your toes can maintain their natural position, they need a few millimetres of space.
Measure from the tip of the longest toe ...
... to the outer edge of your heel.
THE CORRECT
The correct fit
Always pay attention to the right length when choosingyour FOOTPRINTS. Ideally there should be between 10and 12 millimetres space in the toe area while your heelmust sit securely in the footbed. Check your measure-ments directly with your specialist retailer: take thefootbed out of the shoe and stand on it. Does everythinglook as it does on the picture? Then you have found thecorrect length.
The correct size
How to find your correct shoe size: measure from the tip of the longest toe to the outside edge of your heel for each foot and find your size in the table. The shoe sizes correspond to European standard dimensions.
F I T
For a most comfortable fit, the correct width is also im-portant. You can therefore choose between two widths in many models:
perfect for normal feet
ideal for narrow feet

TR-soles_ TR soles are light, flexible, anti-slip
and wear-resistant. They consist of two layers: a midsole made from expanded TR, which is very soft and cushions every step, and a tread area made from compact TR which optimally grips the ground and pro-tects against wear.
_ They are partly manufactured from
liquid rubber in an injection moul-ding process.
_ The soles of the ladies’ model Nürn-berg and the men’s model Olden-burg brown/white, Braunschweig and Hannover have a deeper tread for perfect grip whatever the wea-ther.

_ TPU soles are shock-absorbing, hard-wearing and very long-lasting. They are also particularly envi-ronmentally friendly in terms of manufacturing: any remains can be melted down again and fully used up. Once processed, the soles are extremely wear-resistant and act to support every step.
_ Manufactured from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) – and naturally CFC-free.
_ The soles of the men’s model Ham-burg dark red and Leverkusen have a deeper tread for an even more secure footing.
TPU-soles in men’s models: Köln, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Leverkusen
PU-soles_ PU soles are exceptionally light, hold
their shape and are hard-wearing. When manufacturing them, two liquid components are mixed and foamed.
This results in a vast number of ultra-fine air bubbles that cushion the foot excellently and ensure that walking and standing is comfortable.
_ Perfectly suited to our lightweight line – more on page 08.
_ They are naturally made from CFC-free polyurethane (PU) and are 100% made in Germany.

hand-sewn Originals
from FOOTPRINTS
FOOTPRINTS 2013 35
About 50 working steps are needed to make the individual materials into a complete shoe: leather is punched, shoe uppers are sewn together, padded in the right places and strengthened with interlining. The hand-sewn binding is a special feature of our Originals models: our shoemakers hand-sew the upper to the sole several times using a tear-resistant nylon thread.
This is how they create long-lasting unique items with an extremely precise fit that retains its perfect shape even after many years of wear. The soles can be renewed by specialist shoemakers or our customer service in an eco- and resource-friendly way. This makes our Originals into long-lasting, sustainable and comfortable shoes for men and ladies – made in Germany.

Glossary
Natural Leather
We select only the finest and best natural leather forFOOTPRINTS. A changing grain pattern and minor irregu-larities in the surface serve to emphasise its naturalness.For cleaning our natural leather shoes, we recommend asoft brush and household cloth that is slightly moistenedwith warm water. Classic hard wax polish should then beapplied to the shoes using a lint-free cotton cloth. Afterdrying, buff the wax polish until your FOOTPRINTS regaintheir shine.
Nubuck Leather
Nubuck is one of the most luxurious types of leather. It hasa highly-refined structure and a characteristically soft,velvety surface. Its extra wide pores ensure outstandingtransfer of moisture and a pleasant foot climate. Care for your FOOTPRINTS nubuck leather shoes using only a nubuck brush and nubuck spray. In case of damp, always let the leather dry slowly so that it does not become toohard before brushing it. Through this, the nubuck leatherwill retain its soft, velvety and glossy look for a long time.
Soles
Regardless of what material was used, all our soles areextremely shape-retaining and sturdy yet at the sametime flexible and pleasantly cushioning on impact. Withour PU and TPU soles for example, a core of CFC-free foamed polyurethane ensures comfortable walking andstanding due to millions of tiny air bubbles. This protects the joints and supports natural movement. Our rubber and TR soles in turn have a particularly good grip and areanti-slip. The choice of sole material is always coordinatedperfectly to the relevant shoe model (also see page 28).
Suede Leather
Suede is premium-quality leather with a pleasantly softsurface with extra wide pores. Suede shoes should beimpregnated using a suitable spray on a regular basis.Surface dirt can be removed by brushing, while a pumicestone or raw leather rubber will help to remove any marks or spots. Heavier soiling can be washed off carefully using soap and water. Always allow suede shoes to dry slowlyand then roughen the leather gently using a fine wire orrubber brush before impregnating them again.
Waxy Leather
The waxy leather used for FOOTPRINTS is highly robustand resistant. A protective layer of dyed wax ensures amatt lustre and a water-repellent surface. Waxy leathershoes should be cleaned with a dry brush or using adamp cloth. For care, we recommend a combination ofcoloured wax to cover up any scuffing and refresh thecolour and finishing with a thin layer of waxy leatherpolish.
