Black Birki Antigua Sandal

Before you go to the beach, you first spend a good amount of your time deciding what to wear. But while people spend lots of dollars in a gorgeous outfit, only very few actually pay attention to footwear. They think that there’s no need to because not many people actually look at your shoes or sandals when you go out.

However, these people are wrong. Just as your eyes would look utterly weird deprived of eyelashes and eyebrows, your outfit, no matter how glamorous, will look despondent if paired with shoes that don’t match.

Having the perfect pair of footwear will not only complement your outfit but will also contribute to your looks. You will feel more confident as you sashay around the beach or simply relax on a hammock with the Caribbean sun warming you up on fuzzy afternoons.

One example of footwear that will turn your outfit from hot to hot is the Black Birki Antigua by Birkenstock Footwear. The company has been around for over 200 years, providing fine quality footwear designed with maximum comfort in mind. One such design is the Black Birki Antigua.

Durable Elegance

The Black Birki Antigua is durable footwear made from resilient cork, providing good cushioning for your feet. The straps are lined with elegant black suede leather, smooth to the touch but extremely resilient even in the toughest weather or the roughest seas.

Although the Black Birki Antigua was designed specifically for beach use, the sandals are exactly the kind of footwear you would wear just about anywhere. Casual, yet elegant, the Black Birki Antigua may be worn when you go for a leisurely stroll down the street or shopping in the mall or local shops.

Comfort, Style

Your feet have distinct curvatures. To ensure maximum comfort, you need footwear that conforms to these curves. The Black Birki Antigua has a foot bed design that is made to fit the natural curves of wearer’s feet. Not only does this ensure comfort, but also support. As an added perk, the ergonomic design of the Black Birki Antigua encourages foot health by supporting normal walking.

When you walk, most of your weight is supported by the muscle padding under your heels. With other sandals, this padding is compromised because of their flat foot bed. The Black Birki Antigua is distinct, however, in that it sports a deeper heel cup design. The extra indentation ensures that your weight is adequately supported by your heels.

Protection

As a beach sandal, the Black Birki Antigua comes with features that make it perfect for the sand. It has a non-skid surface that can hold your feet steadily to the ground. This helps ensure that you won’t slide on wet or slippery surfaces, like beachside sand.

Birki Antigua Casual Footwear

The Birkenstock family (“Birki” for short) has been crafting and supplying men, women, and children with high quality footwear. Their over 200 year old commitment to excellence has yet to fade and instead has led to many innovations in Birki footwear. Among their latest innovations is the Birki Antigua, a casual pair of footwear with precision foot bed for maximum comfort.

The Birki Difference

The Birki Antigua is designed with “beach” in mind. Are you familiar with the phrase “form follows function?” Well, this is exactly the concept behind the Birki Antigua and all other Birkenstock footwear designs.

Functional Aesthetics

Most footwear, if you notice, follow the whims of fashion even as fashion can sometimes go to such extremes that the results aren’t wearable anymore. With the Birki Antigua, sandals remain sandals and best of all, they are wearable. The philosophy is simple: create shoes that a person can wear.

Resilience and Comfort

Comfort is the main theme of the Birki Antigua. And comfort in footwear must necessarily come from the part that cradles and supports your foot – the foot bed. The Birki Antigua’s foot bed is made from cork and natural latex, ensuring maximum comfort and durability. Additionally, the foot bed is shaped like a healthy footprint so your feet are guided into the correct walking position.

Natural Contours

Every pair of feet has different contours. Your feet have their own distinct shape and contours. To fit your feet with the footwear, Birkenstock created foot beds that have also have their own distinct curves. Think of the footwear as a mirror of your feet. They fit the distinct structures of your feet perfectly, ensuring proper support and even distribution of weight.

Heel Cup

Another distinct characteristic of the Birki Antigua is a deep heel cup. Most shoes or sandals these days have flat designs that make it difficult for you to support your weight with the balls of your heels. The deeper heel cup design of the Birki Antigua helps make sure that the padding of your heel rests directly under your heel bone, where it can do the most good.

Suede

The foot bed of your Birki Antigua is lined with supple suede for protection and comfort. Soft and absorbent, you can walk miles and miles of beaches with the Birki without worrying about getting calluses on your sole. To wick moisture away from your foot, there are jute fibers inserted beneath the foot bed itself.

Firm Walking Surface

Footwear is similar to a mattress. You might like soft mattresses at first, because they feel great and feel really comfortable. But after some time you realize that they don’t do any good to your back or hips. In fact, the longer you linger on a soft mattress, the worse it’s going to be for your posture.

Now, the same thing is true with footwear. Soft foot beds will feel great at first, but you’ll do a lot better with the firm support.
