Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for Birkenstock.
Birkenstock® has been a family owned and operated business for over 200 years when Johann Adam Birkenstock first registered as a shoemaker in a small German village. In fact, all Birkenstock footwear is still made in Germany; a tradition that requires a natural respect for both the environment and future generations.

Birkenstock is based on the simple principles of health and wellness, quality workmanship and materials, and a respect for the environment. Did you know that Birkenstock created the original contoured footbed that supports and shapes to your foot when walking? And it's made of 100% natural and renewable cork. You can feel good that you are supporting your feet and the environment at the same time. You could call it sustainable comfort.

Birkenstock footwear is designed and sized to provide a roomy fit allowing your toes and feet to wiggle and be free. This sometimes takes a bit of getting used to. Also, most Birkenstock styles come in two widths: narrow and regular, so you can really find the best possible fit for your feet. For the most natural fit, your feet should rest comfortably inside the footbed and there should be about ¼” between your toes and the end of the footbed.

No other part of your body is subject to as much stress and strain as your feet and that is why it is so important to take care of them. With features like a contoured cork footbed, a deep heel cup, and a roomy toe box, Birkenstock clogs and sandals provide more than simply cushioning. Birkenstock footwear provides the perfect balance of firm support and shock resistance allowing your feet and body to be naturally supported.

I began coping with planter fasciitis last month, and recovery for this injury is slow. These shoes literally improved my gait right away, and three days of living in these have eliminated most pain in my foot, heel and calf. I am faithfully doing all the stretches I need to do, too.

I went with Birkenstock because of their reputation for natural repairable/recyclable materials. So I was surprised to find the toe post of this sandal is made of hard plastic. Unfortunately, it kind of hurt to wear them because the plastic is unyielding. Too bad Birkenstock doesn't use leather for the toe post instead. Had to exchange for another Birkenstock style.

These are super comfortable. I keep trying Birks on at the store but get scared away by the price. These are cheaper because it's not a leather upper. I loved them. They felt a little weird when I put them on due to the way the sole is but after a day or two of walking around at home they felt great. I will not be taking them off for the rest of the summer.

This is a fantastic shoe. Similar to the Gizeh but easier to walk in, as the double strap holds your foot in place better than the Gizeh. The silver color is gorgeous and the footbed is the usual Birkenstock quality - great and gets better as you break it in. These were comfortable out of the box for me. I had no issues with the center foot strap bunching, so wonder if that might be the result of someone who bought a size too small. Runs true to Birkenstock sizing but not Zappos (who seriously needs to adjust their size chart to be consistent with Birkenstock's). I wear a 6 in almost all shoes and wear a 36 in Birks, not a 37.

I'd also recommend: Vasque, Keen, Dansko, Chaco

Cute and comfortable, these are a great pair of shoes. I bought them because I had a silver pair that were a different style, but wore them out. These are nice because they are kind of a "gladiator" style, but your feet aren't killing you at the end of the day. They look nice with capris, and the silver matches with pretty much everything. I am wearing them as I write this review!

I love these shoes and have been waiting for them to show up on Zappos again. This is my second pair - love this style! Extremely comfortable even after wearing them all day! I love Zappos' service!
