Performance / Benefits
The QO500 delivers on comfort and protection in a single, versatile sneaker. The contoured cork-latex footbed supports the arches and aligns the body, helping reduce fatigue over long workdays. The fluid-resistant upper keeps feet drier in damp conditions, while the outsole’s slip-, oil- and petrol-resistance minimizes the risk of slips on challenging surfaces. With energy absorption at the heel, every step cushions impact, helping protect joints and reduce back or knee strain. Antistatic protection adds another layer of safety in environments with sensitive equipment. Supported by Birkenstock’s enduring emphasis on fit and durability, the QO500 is a reliable everyday work shoe that doesn’t sacrifice style for safety.
