Birkenstock Naples Wrapped Suede Leather Taupe
The Birkenstock Naples Wrapped Suede Leather Taupe with style code 1029675/1029710 shows how far Birkenstock has come from being purely a comfort brand. The Naples takes the brand's signature anatomically shaped footbed and dresses it in a refined, fashion-forward package: soft suede leather in a warm taupe tone, with the wrapped construction covering the edge of the sole in the same material for a seamless, tonal look. Released on 20 March 2025 at a retail price of €165, this pair sits comfortably between a classic sandal and a minimalist design piece, ideal for anyone who wants Birkenstock comfort with a more elevated aesthetic.
Colorway: Taupe
Everything about this colorway is tonal by design. The upper is crafted from soft suede leather in taupe, a warm grey-brown that works as a neutral all year round. The defining detail is the wrapped construction: the suede extends down over the edge of the footbed, hiding the usual contrast between upper and sole and giving the silhouette a clean, monolithic appearance. Underneath sits Birkenstock's classic cork-latex footbed, which moulds to the shape of your foot over time, finished with a flexible EVA outsole for grip and lightweight comfort. The muted taupe tone pairs effortlessly with linen trousers, wide denim, shorts or relaxed tailoring. Style code 1029675/1029710 is proof that comfort and refinement are not opposites.
How does the Birkenstock Naples Wrapped Suede Leather Taupe fit?
Like most Birkenstock models, the Naples runs roomy, so if you are in doubt between two sizes, choosing the smaller one is usually the better call. The suede upper softens quickly and adapts to your foot, while the cork-latex footbed needs a short break-in period before it moulds to your sole, after which the fit becomes truly personal. The anatomically shaped footbed offers pronounced arch support and a deep heel cup, keeping your foot stable and comfortable throughout long days.
