The cult-classic footwear brand has been crafting comfort since 1774.

Birkenstock stands as a paragon of tradition and heritage, its roots deeply embedded in centuries of craftsmanship. With an unwavering commitment to the time-honoured art of creating premium footwear, Birkenstock's essence transcends each pair, aiming to enhance well-being. Grounded in tradition, the brand diligently pursues its mission &mdash; crafting shoes that allow people to walk in harmony with nature, championing awareness about the vital importance of foot health.

Established in 1774 by master shoemaker Johannes Adam Birkenstock, the namesake brand ensures that each pair they produce undergoes meticulous crafting. The footbeds, composed of cork, suede, and jute, exhibit a skillful design, gradually conforming to the wearer's feet and walking pattern over time.

As a cult-classic brand, Birkenstock has woven iconic designs into the fabric of time. The Arizona, a two-strap sandal introduced in 1973, stands as the epitome of Birkenstock footwear. Over the subsequent four decades, numerous adaptations have debuted, resulting in millions of units sold and solidifying the Arizona as their bestseller.

Upon hitting shelves in 1976, the Boston Clogs swiftly became a versatile choice for indoor and outdoor activities, work, and leisure. This closed-toe model, available in various colors and materials, merges functionality with fashion-forward styles.

While not tethered to mainstream fashion, Birkenstock eventually recognized the potential to create something unique, particularly with the widespread popularity of thong sandals. After three years of careful experimentation, Birkenstock finely tuned the brand's inaugural design-driven assortment of thong sandals, named Gizeh, &nbsp;which emerged as a standout success.

Now acknowledged as a cult classic, the brand has solidified its place as an iconic presence in the fashion industry, securing iconic collaborations ranging from Manolo Blahnik's crystal-adorned mules to Proenza Schouler's contrasting whipstitched-trimmed sandals.

At the Hourglass Exhibition held from October 9 to 15, 2023, attendees were treated to an exclusive preview of Birkenstock's upcoming innovative footwear set to debut in the coming months, including an exciting collaboration with Valentino.
Birkenstock Stores are located in Metro Manila, Pampanga, Baguio, Cebu and Davao. Discover more news and updates at Birkenstock Philippines through their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/birkenstockphofficial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a>.
