BirkoSport Arch Supports |
|
| The BirkoSport, two part
arch support insoles are a unique Birkenstock product that is designed
for athletic shoes but can also work well casual and dress shoes (as
it is a truly unique two part arch support insole). The BirkoSport
from Birkenstock is called a two part insole because the blue top
cover is not actually glued to the ¾ length Birko Cork arch
support bottom layer. The top cover of the BirkoSport Birkenstock
arch support is actually a cushion overlay that sits on top of the
Birko Cork arch support layer. The blue top cover is highly contoured
and its contours are designed to match exactly to the contours of
the Birko Cork bottom layer so the two layers of the BirkoSport Birkenstock
arch supports fit together like a hand to a glove (or a foot to a
shoe for a more appropriate analogy). |

| The
Top Cover |
| The top cover of the BirkoSport
Birkenstock two part arch support insoles is a closed cell high density
EVA (Ethyl Vinyl Acetate) foam that provides comfort and shock absorption.
It is highly contoured with a deep heel cup, a mild metatarsal arch
bump (to support the ball of the foot) and a toe bar (for toe support)
which is almost exactly the same as the toe bar in the classic Birkenstock
sandals. The BirkoSport top cover is designed to fit snuggly and exactly
to the shape and curves of the Birko Cork arch support that it covers. |
The Bottom
Layer (Birko Cork Arch Support) |
| The Birko
Cork ¾ length arch support shell of the BirkoSport from Birkenstock
is the brown bottom layer. Birko Cork is a firm composite material
made from ground cork mixed with nylon plastic. The composite material
is heat molded and pressed into the arch support form. Birko Cork
is very durable and resists compression and abrasion as well if not
better than pure nylon plastic. |

| The Two Layer
Aspect of the Birkenstock BirkoSport Arch Supports |
| Most arch supports come
in either a full length version or a ¾ length version. The
Birkenstock BirkoSport arch supports give you both a ¾ and
full length arch support all in one. In sport shoes or casual shoes
that have a removable insole you can remove the insole that comes
with the shoe and replace it with both the top and bottom layers of
the BirkoSport arch support. The combination of the two layers gives
a comfortable continuity of fit for walking, running and other vigorous
activities. In dress shoes and casual shoes that don’t have
a removable insole you can use only the bottom arch support layer
of the Birkenstock BirkoSport. This leaves more room for your toes
and puts less material under your heel which can lead to heel slippage. |
