Story Classic Birkenstock comfort for the trail, the beach, and beyond Birkenstock has been innovating in footwear since the 18th century (no joke), and that tradition continues with the Atacama. It combines the supportive ride that all Birks are known for—thanks to the anatomically shaped footbed—with modern materials like Birko-Flor®, which offers superior durability, doesn’t soak up water, and feels comfortable against the skin. With its cushioned polyurethane sole and adjustable, snug-fitting upper, the Atacama is an ideal choice for off-pavement treks and waterside hangouts. Features The Atacama features an anatomically shaped footbed that supports the natural alignment of your foot Upper is made from skin-friendly and durable Birko-Flor® material Dual midfoot straps have hook-and-loop closures for easy adjustment and a lockdown fit These sandals won’t absorb water if submerged Polyurethane sole softens impacts PU/TPU outsole generates reliable traction Made in Germany Materials Upper: Birko-Flor® Insole: Polyurethane Footbed: Polyurethane Sizing If you are normally a half size, we recommend sizing down to the nearest whole size (the Atacama isn’t sold in half sizes) For the best fit, compare your feet to the size chart below Foot Measurements Length Width 6 - 6½ Narrow 9¾ - 9⅞ 3½ - 3⅝ 6 - 6½ Regular 9¾ - 9⅞ 3¾ - 4 7 - 7½ Narrow 9⅞ - 10¼ 3½ - 3¾ 7 - 7½ Regular 9⅞ - 10¼ 3¾ - 4⅛ 8 - 8½ Narrow 10¼ - 10⅜ 3⅝ - 3¾ 8 - 8½ Regular 10¼ - 10⅜ 3⅞ - 4⅛ 9 - 9½ Narrow 10½ - 10⅝ 3⅝ - 3⅞ 9 - 9½ Regular 10½ - 10⅝ 3⅞ - 4¼ 10 - 10½ Narrow 10¾ - 11 3¾ - 4 10 - 10½ Regular 10¾ - 11 4 - 4¼ 11 - 11½ Narrow 11⅛ - 11¼ 3⅞ - 4 11 - 11½ Regular 11⅛ - 11¼ 4⅛ - 4⅜ 12 - 12½ Narrow 11¼ - 11⅜ 4 - 4⅛ 12 - 12½ Regular 11¼ - 11⅜ 4⅛ - 4½ 13 - 13½ Narrow 11½ - 11⅝ 4 - 4⅛ 13 - 13½ Regular 11½ - 11⅝ 4¼ - 4½ All measurements are in inches About Birkenstock Some things have their moment and pass away into the cultural ether never to be seen again, but not Birkenstock. It’s safe to say the German brand’s laid-back sandals have been having their moment for over 50 years since they first dropped in the US in the 1960s. They were the flagship sandal of the new casual cool style that overtook menswear back then, and have remained a mainstay in both the mainstream and the counterculture ever since. But it didn’t start there—Birkenstock’s shoemaking heritage stretches all the way back to 1774, and once you slip into a pair, you’ll immediately recognize they’ve learned a thing or two about comfortable, high-quality footwear along the way. Still innovating after nearly 250 years, Birkenstock persistently strives toward responsible manufacturing, like upcycling leftover cork from the wine industry for their insoles and introducing a newly designed, even more comfortable and anatomically correct footbed in 2009. All of which is to say, when you slip into these world-renowned sandals, you’re not only putting on a style icon, you’re putting on the best of the best.
