BIRKENSTOCK Kyoto VL Soft Suede & Nubuck【Regular Width】

The BIRKENSTOCK Kyoto, introduced in 2020, is a model named after the ancient Japanese city of Kyoto. This model, deeply connected to Japan, is inspired by the combination of kimono and obi. Since its release, it has gained immense popularity worldwide and has become a highly anticipated new standard for BIRKENSTOCK. The envelope-type upper that covers the entire instep is inherited from the equally popular classic Zurich. The upper is made of very soft natural suede that gently wraps around the foot, providing a comfortable fit from the moment you wear it. Additionally, the straps are made of nubuck leather, creating a fun contrast. The back of the upper and straps are equipped with hook-and-loop fasteners, allowing for infinite adjustability. It promises a comfortable fit for both high and low insteps. While ensuring stable support, it also presents a sophisticated look. Why not walk the streets of Kyoto in this new standard from BIRKENSTOCK? Regarding the footbed, which can be said to be the lifeblood of BIRKENSTOCK, it is made from sustainable natural materials, including natural cork, jute, natural latex, and a suede lining. The anatomically designed footbed, featuring contours, firmly supports the longitudinal and transverse arches of the foot, reducing pressure. By providing solid support for the foot, it promotes and supports health. About suede and nubuck leather, BIRKENSTOCK uses strictly quality-controlled raw materials. The sustainable natural material leather is breathable and moisture-absorbent, fitting the individual shape of each foot. Suede is characterized by its high flexibility, made from leather with a long-haired, brushed underside. It also has holes for excellent breathability. Nubuck leather belongs to the category of brushed leather, featuring a velvet-like texture finished with fine sandpaper. Regarding the outsole, the EVA outsole, shining with the bone pattern that is the hallmark of BIRKENSTOCK, is 10mm thick, lightweight, and boasts extremely high durability and flexibility. About the suede lining, the surface of the cork footbed is gently accompanied by a skin-friendly, supple suede lining. This lining, made from sustainable natural materials, excels in breathability and, along with the jute underneath, demonstrates moisture-absorbing properties to keep the foot environment comfortable. Made in Germany, all BIRKENSTOCK sandals are produced in their own factories in Germany based on high-quality standards. They continue to insist on Made in Germany for high quality and foot health. Regarding Width, BIRKENSTOCK's footbeds are available in two widths for better fitting: the roomy Regular and the slightly narrower and stylish Narrow (availability may vary by item; men's sizes are often Regular, while women's sizes tend to be more Narrow). *Regular width
