What makes Birkenstocks different?  Uploading ....What Makes Birkenstock footwear different?
It almost seems like Birkenstocks have been around forever, and while that's not quite true, it has been over 230 years since the Birkenstock family produced their first footwear in Germany. Birkenstocks are well known as a manufacturer of healthy sandals, but you still might find all their unique qualities a little surprising.
 Lets start with the heel cup on the footbed, which holds the heel in a neutral position, reducing stress on the forefoot, as opposed to the raised heel seen on most current footwear. Problems like metatsalgia, which we'll discuss later on, can arise from this raised heel position. The footbed also includes a toe bar, which allows the toes to grip the footbed, and combined with the flexibility of the sole, permits the foot to experience essential exercise. Cork and jute, two natural materials, are incorporated into the construction of the footbed.
Birkenstocck Innovation
Birkenstock footwear is manufactured to correspond to the form of the human foot. So as you might expect, the shoes come in both narrow and wide widths so that they'll fit most feet. The Birkenstock footbed is highly contoured in order to reflect the shape of the human foot.
 While most people find the padding on the regular footbed fine, some people would like a little more cushion, and Birkenstock's soft footbed is for them. Some Birkenstock styles also offer a high-arch version, for people who require extra support in the arch area.
The footbed permits the foot to have the room necessary in order that it may assume its natural form. This is useful when treating conditions like claw toe or hammer toe. And the aforementioned Metatarsalgia, which is pain and inflammation in the ball of the foot, also benefits from ample space in footwear. Also, a problem called Morton's neuroma (where bones in the front of the foot press on a nerve) is very often precluded or cured by a roomy shoe.
Birkenstocks are Stylish Too
Nowadays, Birkenstocks offer styles to suit everyone. In the past, it may have been true that everyone knew a Birkenstock when they looked at it. Now, the line include shoes and boots, in addition to many sandals in different styles. Everyone will find something that meets their personal needs and style. In addition to the classic Birkenstock, there's the lighthearted Birki's, the fashionable Papillio and Tatamis, the Footprints styles that include removable footbeds, and the work-centric Alpro.
Ultimately, Birkenstock footwear is built to stand the test of time, but if wear and tear finally starts to catch up with your Birks, they can be repaired. Should there not be a repair shop in your local area, the Internet can help you find an authorized Birkenstock repair shop that accepts mail order repairs.
