Free 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.
If you would like to have us repair your Birkenstock shoes or sandals,

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 a heel lift. Be sure to give
us exact measurements. 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.
