Birkenstock is world renowned for it's deep heeled cork footbed which offers unparalleled walking comfort. The Birkenstock brand can be traced back to Johann Adam Birkenstock who was registered in 1774 as a 'subject & shoemaker’ in local church archives. In 1902, Johann's grandson, Konrad Birkenstock, develops the first flexible arch support to be inserted in factory-made shoes. In 1964, these inserts were developed a step further into a shoe by Karl Birkenstock and with that the Birkenstock sandal we love today was created. All Birkenstock products are 100% made in Germany.
