• In 1776, Johann Adam BIRKENSTOCK was registered
  as a "shoemaker" in the religious archives of the

  born. But it took more than a century for the
  brand of the anatomical sandal to emerge.
  Finally, in 1896 Konrad BIRKENSTOCK, master
  shoemaker, and owner of two brand stores in
  Frankfurt, began manufacturing and selling
  flexible anatomical insoles.

  the group, was then launched.

  footbed ensures a correct, natural position of
  the foot and a natural rolling movement. Thanks

  comfortable to wear, and you can walk with them
  on your feet all day.

for the anatomical shape of the footbed.

• Base layer, which is made of jute that stabilizes
  the footbed
• Core layer is made of cork and latex, which
  ensures breathability, temperature regulation,
  and flexibility

  the flexible footbed also naturally stimulates
  the muscles of the foot.
