For over 225 years the Birkenstock® family have
been producing footwear. The family enterprise looks
back on a history full of tradition. The entire knowledge
of the shoemaking craft has been passed down from generation
to generation including improvments along the way. The
use of a flexible foot support made from a cork and
latex mixture, an innovative idea in former times, is
now receiving the highest recognition from millions
of people around the world.
Since 1774 the principle goal of every generation of the family enterprise Birkenstock® has been the manufacture of exclusive, high quality products which support and maintain the foot's natural functions. The anatomically arched natural form of the foot is mirrored in the Birkenstock® deep mould footbed. Nature's intent is Birkenstock®'s standard.
An ideal fit through the two width system and the optimal shaped footbed let Birkenstock® wearers enjoy the comfort of our footwear from the very first step. A comfort that is reflected in total well being. Owing to this feeling of well being and health the traditional brand Birkenstock® maintains its principles in order to keep offering our reliable products for the best comfort and highest quality in the future.
