200 YEARS OF COMFORT!
In the small German village of Langenberg, Johann Adam Birkenstock is registered as "subject and shoemaker" in the church archives in 1896. Since then their shoes have gained world-wide recognition as amongst the best in comfort and durability.

High quality materials and unique construction give durable comfort and long lasting good looks. The concept of Birkenstock is easily understood when one considers the design of our feet and the mechanics of walking.

Each contour in a Birkenstock footbed is precisely placed to stretch, flex and move naturally. Your feet benefit from free movement, constant exercise and improved circulation, resulting in long lasting comfort and better health.
