In the past time, people consider it rude to wear sandal when they go to work. Instead, leather shoes or something more formal is a top priority. However, Birkenstock has broken the stereotype of sandal in people’s mind. Nowadays, we can see people in Birkenstock when they’re at work or go shopping. Let’s talk about its history and company.
It’s a German brand, which sandals are their main products. Different from other shoes, their footbeds are cork and rubber. It was named after a shoemaker, Johann Adam Birkenstock and her grandson developed many improvements, such as the first flexible arch support to be in shoes. In 1967, a American found Birkenstock sandals relieve her foot condition and founded a trading company called Birkenstock Footprint Sandals, Inc. It gradually became popular among dentists, nurses and those who work on their feet. Later, the sandals turned out to be everyday clothing from workers to celebrities. For example, even super model Heidi Klum designs for Birkenstock and wears them.
There are also second-line brands of Birkenstock, such as Tatami, Betula, Papillio, Alpro, footprints and Birki’s. Some of them are similar to Birkenstock but the style, color and shape are kind of different. However, their common goal is to make shoes by ergonomics.
Since we can wear Birkenstocks either with or without socks, that’s why it’s adored by so many people. Next time if you want to buy a new pair of sandal, Birkenstocks maybe is a good choice.
