The anatomically
molded Birki clog
Professional footbed, which forms uniquely
as a mirror-image of each foot, is the foundation of our
footwear, and the basis of our success. This Birkenstock
footbed takes the impact of each and every step due to the
exclusive use of shock-absorbing materials, and provides
incredible standards of comfort and support. A close cousin
of this Birkenstock
clog is the Birkenstock
licensed Super Birki Clog. Also, the
Birkenstock
Active clog has the same wonderful support.
Birkenstock licensed company Birki Schuh GmbH was founded
in 1993 in Germany by Stephan Birkenstock, who remains General
Manager of the young Birkenstock family brand today. Birki's
featured the famous cork-latex footbed from the beginning.
It's initial collection also featured professional and leisure
time clogs made of ALPRO?-foam (PU) with exchangeable, anatomically
molded footbeds. In 1995 Birki Schuh GmbH developed a unique
method of direct molding, which fused inseparably the upper
material (Birko-Flor) and footbed (ALPRO?-foam) of leisure
sandals. The result was a highly-durable, comfortable and
lightweight sandal that was perfect for wearing at the swimming
pool, in the sauna, in the great outdoors.
In 1999 Birki Schuh GmbH was the first manufacturer worldwide
to develop a clog made of featherlight ALPRO?-cell (EVA)
style name: Fun Birki. In 2005 the Birkenstock Fun Birki
received the Red Dot Design Award for product design in
New York. It remains one of Birki's most popular styles
worldwide.
In 2004 Birki created its first adjustable functional styles
with flip-over, removable Birkenstock heel strap, clip-on
Birkenstock accessories and removable instep straps among
other things. Birki's also presented completely self-contained
kids catalogs for the first time. Through today, the children's
shoe segment within the Birki brand has been a solid component
of the worldwide Birki collection.
In 2007 a Birkenstock collection featuring our soft footbed
was launched to great applaud. Developed on the basis of
an anatomically molded cork-latex center, the soft footbed
features a properly sized, permanently elastic latex cushion
for incredibly soft comfort. Through today, Birki offers
fashionable sandals, slippers, and clogs in a variety of
colors and designs for every member of the family. The areas
of application are as diverse as the styles themselves.
