The Birkenstock clogs and sandals that are fashion and comfort staples today have a history that dates back to 1774, when Johann Adam Birkenstock is registered in a small German village's church archives as "subject and shoemaker."
In 1897, Johann's grandson, Konrad Birkenstock, theorized that curved shoes would be more comfortable than flat shoes. He developed the first contoured insole. In 1902, Konrad developed the first flexible arch support, to be inserted in factory-made Birkenstock shoes. In 1964, Konrad's grandson, Karl Birkenstock, integrated contoured arch support directly into the footbed, and the Birkenstock sandal was born.
Birkenstock USA began in 1966, when founder Margot Fraser visited Germany. Seeking relief from uncomfortable shoes and the pain of walking all day on hard pavement, she visited a spa, where someone suggested that she try Birkenstocks. Her relief was immediate, and within months of returning home to California and continuing to wear her Birkenstocks, Margot's chronic foot pain vanished. Convinced of the health benefits of Birkenstock sandals, she started a distribution business selling them.
In 1973, Birkenstock Arizona sandals were introduced. That iconic two-strap sandal has been re-invented in a variety of color and material combinations, and remains as comfortable as it ever was. Birkenstock Boston clogs also enjoy a long history; it was introduced in 1977.

Madrid Birko-Flor™ Review:
I have a pair of Birkenstock sandals that are at least 10 years old and they are still wearable and so comfortable and I have worn them most of the time in the summer for casual wear! I have now ordered three more pair recently in differnt colors to go with most of my summerl wardrobe. Once you get used to the contoured footbed, you realize how they form to your foot and you can wear them for hours, even if you are going somewhere that you will have to do a lot of walking. I got a great deal at Online Shoes[...]. I tend to have a little wider foot but with these I wear what they call a "narrow" and they fit perfectly. I ordered my regular size shoe. I usually take a 7 or 7 1/2 and the size 7 narrow fits great! I recommend Birkenstock if you are looking for comfort and Online Shoes to get the best price!

Recently Reviewed Birkenstock Products
This is my 4th Mens Birkenstock Shoes to date. I recently purchased the Gizeh, which I love, but I wanted the Adria because of its "tried and true" flip-flop styling. Then, you add the Birkenstock foot bed and leather straps... can't lose. I received my Adria's today, and I love them, definitely feminine, but comfortable. Oh, and for the review that said the strap hurts, yes if you are close to a wide-width, you should probably go for the wider width to prevent the strap from rubbing. If you have a medium width, you should be fine. And for those who don't already know, Zappos ordering/shipping is outstanding!

About 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 footed 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.
Womens Birkenstock Insoles 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.
