Birkenstock
Cork. Leather. A buckle or two. A simple idea that’s made feet happy for over two hundred years. That’s the original Birkenstock. Made in Germany since 1774.
For more than 230 years it is the principle of every generation of the family enterprise Birkenstock to produce comfortable footwear, which offers support to maintain the natural function of the foot. Birkenstock developed the world-wide renown, anatomically arched Birkenstock footbed modelled to the natural shape of the foot.
Certain members of the Birkenstock family also market other brands of footwear, under license from the original Birkenstock company, featuring contoured footbeds. These brands include Betula, Tatami, Papillio, Birki's and Footprints.
