Did you know that on average, our feet carry us in our lifetimes, the equivalent of treading the globe thrice? Our feet are complex structures with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and 114 ligaments. They are resilient and withstand pressures of many times our body weight during activities like running, jumping, etc. Another cool fact from the vantage of evolution– our feet are made for the wilderness. Their natural strength develops by walking barefoot through forests, mountains, and rivers. By exposing our feet to varied stimuli, we can enhance their strength, flexibility, and overall functionality. Whichever the activity, whether hunting, farming, or exploring, our ancestors tread barefoot. Our foot structure has remained constant since then, even though the world has changed.Problem + Solution The hard surfaces of the modern world offer no natural support, causing our anatomical sensory systems to atrophy. The arch of the foot can lose tension, causing a flatter foot arch, a widespread physical aberration today. In came BIRKENSTOCK with the philosophy of Naturgewolltes Gehen, meaning ‘Walking as nature intended,’ and developed footwear that encouraged the natural way of walking. Throughout generations, our actions have consistently focused on providing genuine comfort. Our most comfortable sandals for men, women, and kids reinforce natural foot anatomy and support your feet. This endeavor makes BIRKENSTOCKS the footwear you absolutely need.The BIRKENSTOCK Footbed A term we coined in 1913, ‘footbed’ denotes anatomically shaped insoles. They enable a natural posture and improved natural gait. Often copied but never equaled, the footbed is synonymous with unparalleled comfort today. The Rolling Motion of WalkingInspired by natural footprints on the sand, it reinforces the idea of perfect weight distribution. The walking cycle begins with the touch down of the heel, the foot’s strongest and largest bone. As the movement continues, the weight is distributed to the outer edge of the foot. Aiding the rolling motion, the weight is transferred to the ball of the foot. Then finally, the movement ends with lifting the heel and a ‘pushing-off’ motion over the big toe. The Footbed StructureThe contoured structure of the footbed is designed to offer optimum comfort in every step, maintain natural posture, aid in the rolling motion of walking, and promote good foot health. The deep heel cup, transverse and longitudinal arch supports, toe bar, and toe box allow your feet to spread naturally, stabilize the foot, and offer support and balance. The raised footbed edge protects your toes. The footbed helps activate the right muscles and distributes the weight of your body evenly, thus ensuring impeccable comfort even during the most strenuous activities. The Materials Made using natural materials like jute, latex, cork, and water-soluble adhesive, the footbed is skin-friendly. The insulating properties and moisture absorption help maintain the foot climate. The materials ensure the perfect mix of strength, flexibility, and durability. To keep it simple, BIRKENSTOCKS are invariably good for your feet. The combination of the footbed and minimal, timeless upper designs makes a BIRKENSTOCK the best sandals for women and men. Whether casual, formal, festive, athleisure, or street style, you are sure to find a BIRKENSTOCK that matches your personal style preferences and continues to be versatile. Give your feet the comfort they deserve. It’s never too late to step into a BIRKENSTOCK. Follow us on:

When things are made by hand, they manifest a unique form. Each piece, when made by hand, has an indiscernible distinction, a quality that gives the piece a feel of true customization. The magic of the human touch is irreplaceable, impervious to any amount of industrialization. At BIRKENSTOCK, our employees put their heart and soul into their work. Every day, they create stunningly designed and uniquely functional footwear. The Magic of 50 Hands Each pair of BIRKENSTOCK sandals passes through 50 hands during their making. Human touch is a vital element in our production process. Each material and component is stretched, snipped, sculpted, smoothed, set, glued, and, eventually, transformed into functional footwear. Over generations, we may have finessed the method, expanded our production, experimented with materials, launched new models, and much more, but one thing remains unchanged: the respect for handmade processes in addition to bespoke machinery. Making a BIRKENSTOCK is a meticulous process, one that is instilled with immense love, belief, and passion.The Process of Making a BIRKENSTOCK Sandal Each BIRKENSTOCK sandal is made using a combination of handcraft and bespoke machinery. Much of this specialized machinery was developed by the BIRKENSTOCK family over the years. This unbeatable combination of hand and machine is at the heart of creating iconic, beautiful designs.Just like our philosophy of comfort and the starting point of our innovation, even the production process at BIRKENSTOCK starts with the footbed. A unique combination of cork and latex is stabilized further using jute and suede to make the iconic footbed. These materials are molded into an anatomically shaped form, a form that took decades to perfect and become what is today: a symbol of unparalleled comfort. The footbed functions on orthopedic principles, making BIRKENSTOCKS the most comfortable sandals for men, women, and children. Once the footbed is made, the upper design is attached along with fastenings and outsole to assemble the final sandal. Every buckle, rivet, and fastening is attached with great care and a meticulous eye. Throughout the production process, at each step, our products pass from one dedicated team member to the next, each adept at doing their job, perfected with endurance. From cutting to making to packaging, each BIRKENSTOCK footwear passes through fifty human hands till it reaches you.

When you look back to see how far you’ve come, you realize that some moments were pivotal in shaping your present. At BIRKENSTOCK, we’ve had a journey of nearly two and a half centuries. Through so many moments, there are five that stand out prominently: 1. 1774: The Year Where It All Started Tracing back the family origins to almost 250 years, an official church document mentions Johann Adam Birkenstock as a subject and cobbler in Germany in 1774. It gives us immense pride to see that the intent of offering a comfortable walking experience and the zest for innovation have only amplified over the generations. Inspired by the beginning, collections under BIRKENSTOCK 1774 celebrate timelessness, inspiration, and innovation. To this day, the core BIRKENSTOCK philosophy of eternal minimalism, comfort, and natural gait continues to inspire craftsmen, designers, and fashion brands worldwide. 2. 1913: Coining the Term ‘Footbed’ The concept of an insole designed to support the natural shape of the foot to enable a natural gait was introduced by BIRKENSTOCK. The term ‘footbed’ was coined in 1913 to denote these anatomically shaped flexible insoles. Often copied but never equaled, the footbed is synonymous with unparalleled comfort today. The footbed is our USP and at the heart of everything we do. Made using natural materials like cork, latex, and jute, it is skin-friendly. It helps wearers maintain a natural stance, aids in the rolling motion of walking and promotes good foot health. 3. 1963: Launching Madrid: The Mother of All Footbed Sandals Launched in 1964 by Karl Birkenstock, the design language and ethos of the avant-garde Madrid were quite ahead of their time. The minimal, agender design and the highly functional orthopedic structure paved the way for future models which were contemporary and focused on natural gait. As it was initially known, the gymnastics sandal is a shoe rack staple today. To mark its 60th year, only 1963 pieces of the single buckle strap sandal are available in three iconic colors: light brown, pigalle, and emerald as a part of a limited-edition collection. 4. 1973: Launching Arizona: Everybody’s Favorite Launched in 1973, ahead of the 200th heritage anniversary of the Birkenstock family, Arizona became a bestseller and a symbol of counterculture in the USA. It was released at a time when society was more accepting of the gender-neutral appeal. Rebellious Arizona broke societal norms and appealed to the youth and different subcultures. The sandal even hit the New York runway in 1993. The double-buckle slip-on sandal remains a crowd favorite to date. Only 1973 pairs of Arizona sandals in classic black and white are available as a part of the anniversary collection. 5. 1983: Launching Gizeh: Rendezvous with the World of Fashion Launched in 1983, Gizeh marked BIRKENSTOCK’s move into new territories. Inspired by the oldest Egyptian sandals, Gizeh redefined the meaning of style and ease. The ergonomically shaped toe bar was a nod to our contoured take on comfort. It became the sandal that marked our foray into the world of fashion. A classic BIRKENSTOCK, Gizeh remains a much-loved sandal even now. Find the limited 1983 pairs of BIRKENSTOCK Gizeh natural leather sandals in light brown, beige, and dark red as a part of the capsule collection.The story of BIRKENSTOCK is seeped in heritage, guided by innovation, and taken forward by you, our dearest patrons.
