The Arizona style is one of the brand’s best-selling unisex styles and crafted with Birkenstock’s trademarked synthetic leather. 

The sandals are perfect for all-day wear to the beach, when meeting friends for lunch, while out and about shopping and to general daily outings. 

Whether it’s on the feet of Gwyneth Paltrow in Los Angeles, Sienna Miller in New York or The Crown’s Claire Foy in London, the shoes are everywhere having firmly shaken off their ‘dowdy’ reputation.

Previously, Birkenstocks were popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s among followers of the earth-mother, alfalfa and muesli-eating scene.

The shoes once again reemerged in popularity in 1990s and again over recent years.

While the style has been criticised in the past, this didn’t stop the shoe from becoming a worldwide sensation

The brand was founded in eastern Germany in 1774 by Johann Adam Birkenstock, and for centuries it remained a family business focusing on producing orthopaedic sandals with a gently moulded sole that promotes a healthy stride and posture

While the style has been criticised in the past, this didn’t stop the shoe from becoming a worldwide sensation with an estimated company value of a staggering $4.9 billion US/$7.1 billion AUD, according to Fortune. 

The brand was founded in eastern Germany in 1774 by Johann Adam Birkenstock, and for centuries it remained a family business focusing on producing orthopaedic sandals with a gently moulded sole that promotes a healthy stride and posture.

It wasn’t until 1896 when master cobbler Konrad Birkenstock began manufacturing and selling flexible footbed insoles. 

Flash forward to 1902 was when Konrad Birkenstock develops the first contoured arch support and in 1964 Karl Birkenstock launches the Madrid model – the first fitness sandal with a deep and flexible footbed.

Now millions of pairs are sold globally every year and the high quality remains.
