Is there anything more classic than a pair of honest sandals from Birkenstock? Doubtful. This timeless brand blurs the boundaries between generations and builds bridges between all groups in society.

Sandals from Birkenstock suit everyone and it has been that way since 1744 when Johann Adam Birkenstock launched the brand in Germany. Through the centuries, Birkenstock has literally kept our feet on the ground, as comfortable as it is stylish. Trends may come and trends may go, but a pair of Birkenstocks will always last.
