Founded in Germany in 1774, Birkenstock is renowned for its ergonomic sandals and shoes that support natural foot function. With a focus on comfort, durability, and timeless design, Birkenstock has become a global symbol of everyday footwear that doesn’t compromise on quality or environmental care.

Sustainable Materials: Birkenstock uses natural cork, sustainably sourced leather, and jute, reducing reliance on synthetic materials and supporting renewable resources.

Durability & Longevity: Their footwear is designed to last for years, which reduces waste and the environmental footprint associated with frequent replacement.

Responsible Manufacturing: Production facilities in Germany and Portugal use energy-efficient processes and minimise waste wherever possible.

Recyclable & Repairable: Many Birkenstock models are repairable, and materials are designed to be recycled at the end of life, promoting a circular approach to footwear.

Fair Labor Practices: Birkenstock adheres to strict labor standards, ensuring safe and fair working conditions in all its production facilities.

Community & Wellbeing: The brand engages in programs that support employee welfare and local communities, reflecting its long-standing family-owned values.
