Birkenstock

Since 1774, we here at BIRKENSTOCK have been thinking of ways that we – the inventor of the footbed – can make the lives of our customers better and richer – with a good shoe for all situations in life. BIRKENSTOCK, with its premium-quality products, offers an alternative for all those who place value on quality. That’s why we manufacture our sandals in Germany under the best conditions for our brand in our own production facilities with an extensive amount of handwork. Depending on the model, a sandal undergoes up to 17 steps. It takes well over 100 highly skilled hand movements to make our finished closed-toe models. Closed-toe shoes are made in workshops in Portugal in accordance with the principles of a centuries-old tradition of hand craftsmanship.
