BIRKENSTOCK is the inventor of the footbed and is committed to a clear purpose: foot health. The company's shoemaking tradition can be traced back to 1774. Deeply rooted in orthopedics, the brand stands for superior functionality, the commitment to craftsmanship, uncompromising quality and the promise of an ultimate product experience. The brand transfers this concept of well-being to shoes, sleep systems and natural cosmetics to help make the lives of our customers richer and better.

With 5,500+ employees worldwide, this traditional, sixth-generation family-run business is also one of the German footwear industry’s biggest employers. Manufactured in Germany, BIRKENSTOCK products are sold in more than 100 countries globally.
