Cork Reseal
Send us your repair job and we will reseal the cork
for FREE.
Birkenstocks
can be maintained just like a car to give you many more
miles out of your investment. After factoring in the original
price you paid for your sandals and the price of repair
work, your Birkenstocks may only be costing you around $10.00
per year. Many people have had their Birkenstocks for 15,
20, 25, even 30 years.
The main purpose of these services are to allow you to keep
wearing the same, already molded, footbed.
Recycling
your sandals is easy: just send them in.

Cork:
a Natural Resource
Cork
is the basis of our renowned Birkenstock footbeds. Cork
is a natural resource with ideal properties. It is lightweight,
flexible, absorbs minimal amounts of water, and has an antibacterial
quality. It takes only a decade for the cork oak tree to
develop a layer of useable cork. The cork bark is carefully
removed so the tree trunk won't be damaged. It takes 30-40
years for a tree to yield its first harvest. The bark is
stored outside for about 1 to 2 years; then it is boiled
in water and cut into strips, ground and sifted into different
size granules. Depending upon the use, granules are sorted
by 3-4 weight classes. Birkenstock only uses the lightest
and best grade cork available.

A footbed transfer will completely remove
your existing straps, the uppers, and remount them
on a brand new classic footbed. This is a chance for
you to change footbed size if you want. Non-Birkenstock
stores have a habit of misfitting people in the wrong
length or width. If this has happened to you, now
is your chance to get the size you really need.

Liftsand
platforms can be done as a straight lift or as

If possible send us one of your current lifts or shoes.
After we take the measurements from it we will send
it back ASAP. Platforms are done to both shoes and
cost twice the price as lifts. We do not recommend
going higher than 3/4" for platforms. Also, its
better to wear your Birkenstocks first and let them
break in a little, then put on a platform lift.

In order for
us to price cork
repair we must have the sandals or clogs in our
hands. Usually if its just a few little spots it could
be just $5.00. If you need a full re-cork, all the
way around both shoes, it may be as high as $30.00.
This process only replaces the outer cork, not the
whole footbed

There are many
alterations we can make to the cork/latex
footbed. Some people need the toe grip ground because
they have hammer toes. Or some people have a brace
that needs to fit flat into the footbed. In which
case we grind out all the arches. The most common
ones are listed below and prices are per shoe.

Frame
Most
repair services can be done within a few days after receiving
your shoes. If you need them back by a certain date you
must make note of it with your shoes.
Sometimes soles, footbeds, liners, ETC. are on back order
and we can not perform the work until specific parts arrive.
This may cause delays. If it looks like we will not be able
to get a needed part within a week, we will call or E-mail
you with an ETA of the situation. If we can get the part
quickly, we will order it and repair your shoes as soon
as it arrives.
