Birkenstock

Believe it or not, Birkenstock has been making its classic, comfortable shoes for over 200 years. In 1774,in the German village of Langenberg, founder Johann Adam Birkenstock was registered as ‘subject and shoemaker’ in the church archives. With so many generations of experience under the company’s belt, it’s no wonder that the brand is renowned for its passion for perfection.

Racking up firsts

While other major brands like Adidas were merely twinkles in designers’ eyes, the Birkenstock company was busy notching up a number of firsts. According to the Birkenstock online Shop, the brand was the first to develop the flexible arch support, hand-stitched comfort shoes and thong-style sandals.

The Birkenstock system

The Birkenstock system reduces stress on the foot and the carefully crafted soles act as shock absorbers. The Birkenstock online store reports that the Birkenstock system has been supported by leading medical experts as far back as 1932. Since then, they have gathered strength, coming to rival big names such as G-Star.

More than comfortable

Fans of labels like Camel Active will appreciate the cool, muted colours in the Birkenstock range. The company is most famous for its contoured sandals, which offer the support and comfort that the brand is synonymous with. But it’s not just about comfort. Birkenstock sandals and footwear come in a range of designs, some of which are playful and innovative, others of which are more classic in their inspiration.

4 Ways to Put a Glamorous Spin on Your Casual Birkenstocks

For years we’ve abused and mistreated our feet while wearing heels, all in the name of turning up the sexy when going out. But there is such a thing as too much of a good thing, even when it comes to fashion. Birkenstock sandals are the answer to your prayers for shoes that don’t cause blisters. The iconic cork and leather shoe, made in Germany for over 200 years, has so much more potential than its ability to cradle your feet in sublime comfort.

Whoever invented the old proverb beauty is pain never tried playing up her look with Birkenstocks, your foot’s best friend and your heel’s worst enemy. Give your Birkenstocks new life by wearing them to jazz up your outfit instead of high heels or wedges.

A Maxi Dress

You’re all set with a stunning silk maxi dress for that upcoming rooftop soiree, but you dread having to cram your foot into those wedge sandals with the four-inch heel. Survive the night in style with Birkenstocks in a shiny, metallic color like red or champagne while you sip bubbly under the stars.

Silk Pants

Why should your legs hog all the comfort afforded by your silk pants? Give your tired ankles a break from back-breaking stilettos by pairing thong Birkenstocks with wide-leg silk pants when you’re off to the movies. Late for a drink with the girls? Spring up the city steps with ease in your rubber sandals instead of hobbling along in your pumps.

A Lace Skirt

Get the best of both worlds with a fancy lace skirt paired with casual black or silver sandals. Now you could still throw on a pair of strappy pumps and be on your way. But stay close to the ground with your black skirt, Birkenstocks and a white striped crop-top for the ultimate in effortless glamour.

A Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits will always be a cool and trendy frock to throw on when you want to look good without all the fuss and effort. Be the epitome of easy chic by sliding into a pair of white Birkenstock slippers, an olive-green jumpsuit and jacket in a  cognac tone.

Birkenstocks have been valued for their soothing benefits for generations. Give your sore arches a break and take the time-honored sandal for an upscale spin during your glamorous outing.

Relaxed never looked so good with these glamorous takes on casual Birkenstocks.
