Shoes Designed for True Foot Health
As the inventors of the anatomically shaped footbed, Birkenstock has been thinking since 1774 about how to make life more beautiful and comfortable for its customer through high-quality footwear suitable for every situation they may encounter.
In a consumer-driven world where price is often the main priority, and which is heavily dominated by low-end products from the Far East where production conditions can be harmful both to people and to the environment Birkenstock’s high-quality products represent a responsible and sustainable alternative for those who value quality, functionality, and durability.
Craftsmanship Made in Europe
To achieve this, our products are manufactured in Germany, under optimal working conditions and in production facilities where handcrafted work plays a major role. Each sandal goes through 17 individual production steps, while closed Birkenstock models are the result of more than 100 precise, masterful hand movements.
Our closed shoes are produced in Portuguese workshops that respect the centuries-old principles of traditional craftsmanship, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail.
The Feminine BrandPapillio stands out with on-trend colors and materials, striking color contrasts and prints, as well as wedge heels and platform soles with a retro-inspired look.
