Established by master cobbler Johann Adam Birkenstock in 1774, the German-born brand, Birkenstock, creates quality footwear for maximal function and support. Notable for its contoured arches and flexible footbeds, your first introduction to Birkenstock's rubber soles and cork insoles will change your notion of comfort for good. The brand's signature styles - like the Boston and Arizona - are instantly recognizable and continue to transcend generations as the ultimate off-duty essential.
