As one of our only brands that dates back by centuries, Birkenstock are the undisputed masters of traditional footwear. Mr. Birkenstock was a footwear pioneer, he was the first to invent a contoured arch support in 1902, something we know to be commonplace today. There are even Birkenstock training courses available, all of which are fully endorsed by leading physicians and podiatrists. The attention to detail and remarkable heritage allow for the product to be continuously improved upon, meaning today we have a perfect formula for footwear which lasts a lifetime.
