What factors determine athletic success? Practice, determination, consistency, nutrition, competition, training, proper rest, etcetera, etcetera. Apart from all the physical and mental preparation, there is one more thing that is often overlooked: natural recovery.
Post a workout or practice session, stretching, hydration, a good diet, time out, and muscle recovery are of utmost importance. What if we told you that the ultimate footwear to not only actively help with recovery but also keep you comfortable and stylish throughout the day is now within reach? BIRKENSTOCK, the German footwear brand, has defined what it means to walk as nature intended with the invention of the footbed.
The iconic anatomically shaped BIRKENSTOCK footbed is inspired by natural footprints on the sand. The deep heel cup, transverse and longitudinal arch supports, spacious toe box, and raised footbed edge form rises and indentations that allow your feet to maintain a natural stance. It aids in the rolling motion of walking and engages and activates the foot and calf muscles while taking a step. Its contoured shape helps your feet maintain natural posture and offers firm and stable support that is imperative for natural recovery. The footbed prompts the body’s adaptive response, helps promote muscular benefits, and reduces its proneness to injury. It is made using natural materials like jute, cork, latex, and suede. They have insulating properties and control moisture absorption, thus ensuring good foot climate. This revolutionary footbed makes BIRKENSTOCK the most coveted footwear brand for athletes, yoga practitioners, and sportspeople alike.
Though all BIRKENSTOCK sandals inadvertently feature the footbed, we recommend these classic styles for natural recovery:
Recovery is a vital part of your athletic journey. Prep yourself for the next game, practice, or workout session with the right footwear. Embrace functional comfort with BIRKENSTOCK footwear options and allow your feet and leg muscles to recover naturally.
