Most sneakers stop caring about the footbed the second the upper looks right. The Bend doesn't — underneath the natural leather upper sits Birkenstock's contoured cork-latex base, lined in natural leather and set on a natural rubber sole built in Portugal for real mileage.
Q: What's the footbed lining made of on the Bend? Natural leather — the Bend lines its cork-latex footbed in leather rather than a synthetic material.
