Birkenstock sandals and footwear

Birkenstock is an iconic footwear brand renowned for its ergonomic cork footbeds. The brand's history dates back to 1774 in Germany when Johann Adam Birkenstock was registered as a shoemaker. For centuries, the family developed orthopedic technology, culminating in the globally recognized Arizona and Boston styles.

Today, Birkenstock maintains a strong commitment to quality, with the vast majority of its manufacturing processes remaining in Germany. In 2021, the brand was acquired by the private equity firm L Catterton and the family office of Bernard Arnault (Agache), bringing the brand under the umbrella of the LVMH group's investment network. The company remains headquartered in Linz am Rhein, Germany, and continues to be a staple in the global fashion and orthopedic footwear markets.
