The beauty of the Birkenstock is its extreme comfort. German-made since 1774, very little has changed to the design since its first construction. The shoe itself will mould to your feet because the contoured footbed is softened by cork and soft foam filled with millions of tiny air bubbles. You might consider yourself a bit of adventurist and so may your feet, so if you'd like them to be in it for the long haul, it's definitely worth investing in a pair of Birkenstock's. Offering comfort as well as support, you and your intrepid feet can stride out and soldier on.
