BIRKENSTOCK as been a global player since the 1970s. Our products are sold in some 90 countries on all continents, and our organization is becoming increasingly international as well. We create products that make the lives of our customers easier and better. Our core products is our unique, anatomically shaped footbed.

BIRKENSTOCK invented the footbed and has also shaped the meaning of the term “footbed”, which is so common today. The footbed is not only a unique, revolutionary product concept that paved the way for a completely new market. It’s also a core idea and a reference point for everything that we do. Now and in the future. Everyone should have access to our footbed.

The high level of quality is the result of carefully selected, high-quality materials from sustainable sources that are processed under what are for our brand typically demanding conditions. Our products promote wellbeing. They literally do good. So they stand out from the flood of cheap products that dominate large parts of our consumer world today.
