BEST Birkenstock Shop in Vancouver BC

The BEST Birkenstock Shop in Vancouver BC is the Quick Cobbler, owned by Ronald Nijdam.

Why are Birkenstocks the BEST? First of all, they have been in business for 225 years! Its possible that we could all learn a thing or two about feet from a company like this. If you've ever said "those things aren't for me" that's cool . . . The brown leather sandals your Social Studies teacher wore aren't for everyone. Birkenstock is more than brown leather sandals these days. They now offer a complete range of quality shoes for most any occasion.

Here's why many people think Birks rule:

THE ORIGINAL BIRKENSTOCK FOOTBED

The footbed is the soul of the Birkenstock . . . Just like a good, firm mattress, the footbed is designed to be highly supportive. Resilient cork is mixed with latex and precisely molded to cradle and cushion the foot and heel. The "Soft Footbed" is the same with the addition of the new anatomically formed latex foam insert to provide excellent shock absorption. This foam is added just under the suede lining.

HIGH QUALITY BIRKENSTOCK UPPERS

Nubuk Leather

Birkenstock nubuck leather originates from choice grades of the best European cattle. Nubuck leather is a full grain leather whose naturals characteristics are enhanced by buffing the top layer. This lends a particularly velvety finish to the leather.

Smooth Leather

The leather Birkenstock uses is super thick yet supple. Natural leather stands out out through its unique surface structure and naturally occurring varied colour scheme. No artificial dyes are used to cover up these genuine differences and the leather is left the way nature intended. Thus the leather retains its pores.

Suede

Only about half of a large hide can be used for Birkenstock suede uppers. This useable piece is extra strong and thick leather yet extremely strong and durable. As with the other Birkenstock leathers, the naturally occurring differences in surface structure are unavoidable and are a welcome proof that only genuine leather is used.

Birko-Felt

This material is extraordinarily porous because it consists of a dense and rugged synthetic felt combined with a wool mixture. Therefore, it is pervious to air, highly absorbent and practically untearable.

Birko-Flor

Birko-Flor is a skin-friendly and extraordinarily tear-resistant material. The easy-care surface has a leather-like look. A soft fleece is incorporated into the second layer which is supple yet sturdy. Birko-Flor is a progressive yet inexpensive alternative to leather. Birko-Flor Nubuck This new material has a leather-like surface structure. A separate finishing process during Birko-Flor production refines this material to resemble and feel like Birkenstock genuine Nubuck leather.

BIRKENSTOCK BUCKLE

The Birkenstock Buckle is worthy of a little section of its own here. Three modern high-frequency punch presses produce 14 different types of buckles complete with fastening peg. These innovative presses produce high output without jeopardizing Birkenstock precision and quality standards. Each and every and every buckle is galvanized and receives a baked-on powder coating in order to withstand the demands that they are subjected to. Even the fastening clamps are galvanized and specially coated to ensure they will last a very long time.

BIRKENSTOCK REBUILD

You can double the life of your Birkenstocks by having the sole replaced as it wears out. Catch it in time and you don't even have to replace the whole sole - just the tips and corners. Don't catch it in time and you can replace the sole and the footbed, no problem.

The BEST Birkenstock Shop in Vancouver take apart your beloved Birk, keep the leather and buckles and fix them to a new cork footbed and sole. They clean and recondition the leather and shine up the buckles.
