Birkenstock: a history of comfort, essential design and craftsmanship
The dynasty of Birkenstock shoemakers has roots dating back to 1774, when the name Johannes Birkenstock appears in a church archive document at a time when he was already working as a shoemaker, the figure who would later become the “master craftsman shoemaker.” The Birkenstock brothers lived the simple life of rural artisans, creating shoes entirely by hand from the materials themselves: they produced the leather, adapted it to the shape of the shoe and bonded the footbed and sole.
The inhabitants of the German countryside were often poor and could afford only one pair of shoes, which therefore needed to be functional and durable, repaired over the years by a local shoemaker. The women’s collection inherits this heritage by combining iconic lines with models designed to accompany everyday life with a natural and contemporary style. Every model features the anatomical footbed designed to support proper posture and the use of materials selected for long-lasting durability, elements that have always defined the brand’s identity.
The timeless style of iconic lines
Over the years, Birkenstock has become a symbol of essentiality and comfort, thanks to now-historic models such as Madrid, Arizona, Gizeh and Boston. Each silhouette tells part of the brand’s tradition, interpreting functionality through a minimalist and instantly recognizable aesthetic. The Birkenstock philosophy emphasizes a natural fit and a construction based on ergonomic curves, creating models that combine simplicity, practicality and a tailored attention to craftsmanship.
Birkenstock Women’s Collection: models available in the catalogue
The women’s selection offers a variety of footwear designed to meet different needs, while remaining consistent with the brand’s most beloved materials and shapes. The range includes slippers, sandals, flip-flops and clogs, with variations that highlight details such as adjustable straps, soft finishes or glossy treatments.
Madrid slippers and Big Buckle variants
Among the available models are the Madrid styles, offered both in the classic version and in Big Buckle variants. The silhouettes retain their iconic single strap, enhanced in some models by a bold buckle that adds a more decisive character without compromising the lightness of the structure.
Arizona line: double straps and Big Buckle variants
The Arizona line represents one of the pillars of the women’s collection. It is available in numerous versions, including models in suede, nubuck, smooth leather or innovative materials, as well as Big Buckle variants with bold buckles and more essential versions in Birko-Flor and EVA. Some models feature a soft footbed designed to offer enhanced comfort, making them ideal for everyday wear.
Gizeh models and Big Buckle interpretations
The Gizeh model, with its thong design, is available in multiple variations: from oiled leather versions to glossy finishes, up to Big Buckle interpretations that add a contemporary touch to a minimalist silhouette.
Kairo, Kumba and Milano sandals
The collection includes models such as Kairo, featuring a thong structure with an ankle strap, Kumba with crossed straps and a soft footbed, and Milano Big Buckle, which combines the support of back straps with a more refined aesthetic. Each model is designed to offer stability, support and a naturally ergonomic fit.
Boston and Boston Braided clogs
Boston clogs complete the women’s offering with suede versions and crafted variations such as the braided model with a woven strap. Combining an enveloping structure with soft materials, they represent an ideal choice for those seeking comfort and a refined everyday aesthetic.
Special models and accessories
The catalogue also includes models such as Uji, a slipper that combines nubuck with glossy finishes, as well as the Bend Low shoe for those who prefer a closed model with a clean profile. Birkenstock accessories are also available, including socks made from natural materials designed to complete the look with stylistic and functional continuity.
