Birkenstock: Over 250 Years of German Craftsmanship

Birkenstock traces its roots to 1774, when Johann Adam Birkenstock was registered as a shoemaker in the church archives of Langen-Bergheim, Germany. The brand's defining innovation - the contoured cork-latex footbed - was developed by Konrad Birkenstock in 1896 and still sits at the heart of every silhouette today. Shaped from natural cork and jute, it moulds to the wearer's foot over time, distributing weight evenly and delivering orthopaedic support that genuinely improves with wear. From Birkenstock sandals and Birkenstock clogs through to closed-toe shoes and slides, that same footbed technology runs through the entire range - it's this foundation of heritage craft and functional design that keeps Birkenstock relevant across generations, far beyond seasonal trends.

From the Boston Clog to the Arizona Sandal

Two silhouettes define the Birkenstock range more than any other. The Birkenstock Boston is a closed-toe suede clog that has become one of the most sought-after Birkenstock mules in recent years, working just as well with tailored trousers as it does with relaxed weekend fits. Available in suede, leather and shearling-lined editions, the Boston comes with either an original or Birkenstock soft footbed depending on the version. For warmer weather, the Birkenstock Arizona is the brand's best-known two-strap sandal, offered in materials ranging from classic Birko-Flor to lightweight EVA. Both feature adjustable buckle straps for a customised fit and come in regular and narrow widths for men and women. Whether you prefer Birkenstock slides for the summer or Birkenstock clogs year-round, the range has every season covered.
