We hold the strong
belief that our products and services enhance people's
quality of life, and add to their health and vitality.
Birkenstock Footprint Sandals, Inc., also known
as Birkenstock USA, began over 30 years ago when
our founder, Margot Fraser, had a dream of sharing
the comfort and health benefits of Birkenstock footwear.
A few years earlier, while visiting a German resort,
she had tried on her first pair and was extremely
impressed at how good they felt. From there, Margot
learned that the original Birkenstock contoured
footbed was invented and manufactured in Germany
by Konrad Birkenstock in 1897. In fact, the Birkenstock
family has been shoemakers for over 225 years –
more than two centuries of creating and perfecting
a tradition of walking comfort.
In 1966, Margot began importing Birkenstock footwear
from Germany in small amounts and thus Birkenstock
USA was born. The business grew every year and thousands
of satisfied customers asked for more styles so
they could wear their Birkenstock shoes in more
places. Today, Birkenstock Footprint Sandals,
Inc., has enjoyed enormous success and continues
to grow with many different styles of sandals
and shoes. With the corporate offices and distribution
center located in Novato, California, our philosophy
of providing comfortable and healthy footwear
carries over to our company environment.
