Birkenstock
Footprint Sandals, Inc., also known as Birkenstock
USA, began over 30 years ago when our founder, Margot
Fraser, had a dream of sharing the comfort and health
benefits of Birkenstock footwear. A few years earlier,
while visiting a German resort, she had tried on
her first pair and was extremely impressed at how
good they felt. From there, Margot learned that
the original Birkenstock contoured footbed was invented
and manufactured in Germany by Konrad Birkenstock
in 1897. In fact, the Birkenstock family has been
shoemakers for over 225 years – more than two
centuries of creating and perfecting a tradition
of walking comfort.
In 1966, Margot began importing Birkenstock footwear
from Germany in small amounts and thus Birkenstock
USA was born. The business grew every year and thousands
of satisfied customers asked for more styles so
they could wear their Birkenstock shoes in more
places.
Today,
Birkenstock Footprint Sandals, Inc.,
has enjoyed enormous success and continues
to grow with many different styles of sandals
and shoes. With the corporate offices and
distribution center located in Novato, California,
our philosophy of providing comfortable and
healthy footwear carries over to our company
environment.
Birkenstock
in 2005!
WorkShoeBeach.com
is proud to announce the introduction of the
newest work shoe, clog and professional styles
for Spring 2005. One look, and it's easy to
see fresh inspirations throughout all Birkenstock
brands. This year's styles reinfoce the Birkenstock
belief that well-built, comfortable footwear
inspires your senses as much as it does your
body. But bright colors and new materials
are evendent, too. Lively patterns and natural
materials feature prominently. To put it simply,
styles are both functional and beautiful.
They're fun and easy to wear, rejuvenating
and refreshing. They're perfect for activity
and apres sport. They enhance everything you
do.
People
who work on their feet need uncommon support. That
is why Birkenstock has created every Alpro shoe and
clog around the legendary Birkenstock footbed concept
for superior ergonomic support and comfort. And all
Alpro footwear has added features like reinforced
leathers, slip-resistant soles and oil/chemical repellent
uppers. But they're also easy to clean. Because, the
way we see it, you should be thinking about the job
at hand. Not your feet.
