About us
Core
Function
We follow a function-first philosophy. Functionality and usability are the focus points of our product creation. A form that allows for function creates an indissoluble unity in all our products and sets the framework for our recognizable aesthetic signature.
Our footbed represents the epitome of healthy footwear. Its function is the guiding principle in everything we do and sets the framework for our distinctive design signature. We are the inventor of the footbed.
Quality
BIRKENSTOCK is synonymous with quality. Our products are made to endure, they comprise responsibly sourced highest quality materials and are meticulously crafted in our own production facilities. The quality of our products can be felt in their longevity and durability, and a tactile product experience, which puts the health of our feet first.
Tradition
BIRKENSTOCK is a company with an exceptional heritage. With our origins dating back to the year 1774, BIRKENSTOCK’s brand is built on two and a half centuries of a family tradition in shoemaking.
