Birkenstock Kyoto
Sandals named after the Japanese metropolis that blend sporty and relaxed styles - Birkenstock Kyoto
For the first time in over thirty years, Birkenstock named a new model after a Japanese city – and it wasn't by chance. Birkenstock Kyoto carries the name of Japan's cultural and historical heart, perfectly matching its character: it seamlessly combines the old with the new, an athletic look with the traditional comfort of Birkenstock. The silhouette quickly became a favorite choice for those wanting something bolder than the classic Arizona straps, without sacrificing comfort. The model has also appeared in limited and designer collaborations, further solidifying its status.
History: the first Japanese name in 34 years
Kyoto was introduced by Birkenstock in 2020 – it was the first model to bear the name of a Japanese city in approximately 34 years. The name perfectly captured the character of the silhouette, which combines athletic design with a suede upper into one fluid line suitable for everyday wear without losing comfort. Kyoto later saw a premium limited edition Kyoto Tradition made from fine deer leather, released in September 2024 to celebrate the brand's 250th anniversary, as well as a collaboration with the streetwear brand Concepts.
Technology: contoured footbed and double Velcro straps
What makes Kyoto comfortable despite its bolder, sportier shape are these features:
- Contoured cork-latex footbed: Gradually adapts to the shape of your foot and offers tailored support the longer you wear it.
- Deep heel cup: Supports the foot's tissue and keeps the heel bone firmly in its natural position.
- Side arch support: Wraps around the midfoot bones and provides stability with every step.
- Raised toe grips: Allow your toes to remain comfortably spread in a natural position instead of being cramped.
- Double Velcro straps: Allow you to adjust the width of the sandal from the inside and outside for a precise fit.
- EVA outsole: Lightweight and flexible, ideal for travel and all-day wear.
Design
The suede or nubuck upper secured with Velcro gives Kyoto a distinctly sportier silhouette than the classic Arizona straps – the combination of textures between the upper and strap adds visual depth that you'll appreciate upon closer inspection.
Who the model is for
Kyoto is a fashion silhouette for you if you're looking for a bolder, sportier sandal with real arch support – perfect for travel and everyday wear where you want a combination of striking design and the comfort Birkenstock is known for.

Hele fijne slipper voor bredere voeten en hoge frave
Are you a fan of tried-and-tested silhouettes and perfect workmanship? Then keep an eye out, because few brands on Footshop date their roots back to the 18th century. For almost 200 years, Germany's Birkenstock was an orthopaedic shoe brand, but it wasn't until the 1960s that it became a global phenomenon, when American Margot Fraiser became so enamored with the comfort of these shoes that she decided to expand production to include San Francisco. The open toed shoe with a cork sole quickly became highly sought after and success was not long in coming. Give in to the benefits of slippers and sandals and treat your feet to a piece from our range!
