After visiting a German resort and trying on her first pair of Birkenstock footwear, Margot Fraser dreamed of bringing this comfortable line of shoes to the United States. In 1966, Margot began importing small amounts of Birkenstock footwear from Germany, and Birkenstock USA was born.
People buy Birkenstock footwear because it conforms to the shape of your feet, and has lots of room in the toe box for your toes to spread out. The deep heel cup allows natural padding to stay in place and promotes natural spine alignment. Four arches in the contoured footbed ensure even weight distribution. The soft, suede liner keeps feet dry and comfortable all day.
Today Birkenstock has many styles and colors to fit every occasion. European sizes are usually listed and you need to consult a conversion chart to find the right U.S. Size.
These five types of sandals may give you some new ideas to enhance your wardrobe.
