While they may require a short break-in period of a few days, the comfortable mixed-material footbed allows your feet to feel cushioned with firm arch support while walking. You will not get blisters if you gradually break your new shoes.
The Price of Quality: Understanding Birkenstock’s Premium Cost
Birkenstocks are considered expensive because they use high-quality, sustainably sourced materials like natural cork and premium leather. Their craftsmanship involves extensive manual processes, contributing to their higher cost.
The high price of Birkenstocks makes them a prime target for counterfeiters eager to capitalize on their brand recognition and loyal following.

The brand’s reputation for comfort, durability, and ethical manufacturing practices also influences its pricing. Additionally, import duties and taxes can further increase prices for international customers. Despite the cost, many people find the value in Birkenstock shoes justified by their quality, comfort, and longevity.
Birkenstock: A Legacy of Craftsmanship Since 1774
Starting with shoemaker Johann Adam Birkenstock’s commitment to his craft in 1774, authentic Birkenstock shoes are handmade using high-quality material. They are designed and engineered to fit the human foot in every possible way.

The iconic footbed is the heart of all models and is synonymous with exceptional comfort.
Even the word “footbed” was created by Birkenstock. It was first used in the 1930s to describe anatomically shaped inner soles with special support elements.
Made to imitate a natural footprint in the sand, the comfortable footbed helps your feet feel as comfortable as possible when you are on your feet for long periods.
