It dates back to the late 18th century in Germany. Birkenstock” is a brand that has existed since ancient times, with a record of being registered in an official document in 1774 as the “Shoemeister of the Vassal King. The distinctive feature of the brand is the footbed (insole), which is made by studying the shape of the human foot to achieve a comfortable fit and stress-free wear. Carl Birkenstock, the founder’s son and an orthopedic surgeon, contributed to the creation of the footbed. The footbed was completed using orthopedic shoe technology, which is intended to treat the feet and aid in athletic function. Therefore, they are not only fatigue-resistant, but also provide support for healthy feet. This may be the reason why Birkenstock shoes are used not only as a fashion item but also by medical professionals.

The unique footbed creates ” barefoot-like ” comfort

The unique footbed developed by “Birkenstock” is as close as possible to the concept of “walking barefoot. The three-dimensional structure supports the three arches of the human foot (medial, lateral, and base of the toes), and the toe portion is wide enough to avoid constricting the toes. The heel is also deeper than other sandals, so it holds the foot in place appropriately. In addition, the use of cork material mixed with natural rubber allows the sandals to conform to the user’s foot shape as they are worn, increasing comfort as the word “comfortable” implies.
