Birkenstock Blue footbed
2 Reviews
The Blue Footbed utilizes the principle of walking barefoot. It is based on the impression left by a healthy foot in sand, creating a natural environment for your feet. The heel area is cushioned and stabilized thanks to the raised design. This also supports the natural arch of the foot. The Blue Footbed is therefore ideal for anyone who would like to enjoy the unique comfort of BIRKENSTOCK in enclosed shoes made by other brands too.
- Anatomical footbed shape
- Excellent heel stabilization
- Optimum damping
- For traditional business and leisure shoes with a slight heel
Sizing:
- Birkenstock inserts run a little different from your standard sizing scale. We always recommend one full SIZE DOWN from your normal European size. Do not worry that the size on the box is larger than what you typically wear. The main sizing feature with the Birkenstock Blu Footbed is that the end of the insert should be sitting just behind your metatarsal heads. If the insert is purchased too long, they metatarsal pad will rub on your second, third, and fourth met heads and will create undue pressure. Please check the chart for proper sizing. For the width selection, always default to the "2-REG" width as that works for medium to extra wide feet. The "3-MED" is only for narrow feet.

A MPJ cutout for any metatarsal heads made of 1/8” in thickness cushion cork. Good for offloading one or two injured MPJ’s creating a depression zone. Can be filled with SR Poron if ulcer or hotspot is evident.
HEEL CUSHION (PAD)
Extra heel cushion is a great way to add shock absorbsion to the calcaneous or elevate the heel to reduce loading on the Achelles tendon. To alleviate Achilles tendon issues we recommend 1/4" Poron (polyurethane). For extra shock absorption, we recommend 1/8" Poron
LATERAL HEEL BAR (CUBOID BAR)
A lateral heel bar is located directly below the cuboid bone and the top option to reduce the amount of supination in the rearfoot. This is most effective with 1/8" Multi-cork material at a 55 durometer hardness and wraps up the external lateral wall of the insert.
