Shop Birkenstocks at Flemington Department Store
Most people have heard about the Birkenstocks brand. Birkenstock footwear is considered to be made with quality in mind, making pieces attractive to buyers as they know they are built to last. Manufactured in Neustadt (Wied), Germany, Birkenstock has been making fine footwear for over two hundred years. Konrad Birkenstock started the process in the late 1800's with the creation of the first arch support with the flexibility to be positioned in factory-made shoes. He then opened two of his own shoe factories in Frankfurt, Germany the same year. Word got out about the quality and comfort, and the Birkenstock name lives on to this day as the creator of high-quality shoes that are not only comfortable but pleasing to the eye.
Birkenstocks are known for their famous Arizona style shoe, complete with two straps, as well as the Boston clog to use as a fashion statement. Their selection consists of shoes constructed with a rubber and cork footbed, helping to keep feet comfortable even after walking for several miles. Shoes are made to match any type of attire and are known to conform to the foot of the wearer, making them fit like gloves the more they are worn. Each shoe is made with four layers, from a shock-absorbent sole to a cushion made of soft suede.
