Birkenstock
Birkenstock is a German footwear company renowned for sandals with a distinctive contoured cork footbed that supports the natural shape of the foot. The brand's roots go back to the 18th century, when a German cobbler began crafting customized insoles. In 1896, Konrad Birkenstock registered the Birkenstock name and developed the first flexible, contoured insole, setting the foundation for the modern sandal line. The cork-latex footbed, combined with a suede lining and an EVA outsole, is designed to provide arch support, toe splay, and long-term comfort.
The sandals are produced in a range of models, with the Arizona (two-strap), Gizeh (thong), and Madrid
