At Birkenstock, tradition and heritage are important hallmarks of a brand that dates back not years or even decades, but centuries. Birkenstock is deeply rooted in the fine art of crafting premium quality shoes that are good for you. Since 1774, Birkenstock has passed this commitment down from one generation to the next. The result is the absolute best in quality, comfort and support.

At the heart of their products is the unique, anatomically shaped footbed. Birkenstock invented the footbed and has also shaped the meaning of the term “footbed,” which has become common terminology.
