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. A BIRKENSTOCK Promise Through generations, BIRKENSTOCK has followed one philosophy: Naturgewolltes Gehen, meaning ‘Walking as nature intended.’ This philosophy encompasses everything: skin-friendly materials, sustainable practices, timeless designs, unparalleled comfort, and of course, constant innovation.
