Birkenstock
Footprint Sandals, Inc., also know as Birkenstock
USA, began over 30 years ago when our founder, Margot
Fraser, had a dream 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 then 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.
