Inventor Of The Footbed - Birkenstock

Birkenstock invented the footbed and has also shaped the meaning of the term "footbed", which is so common today. The footbed is not only a unique, revolutionary product concept that paved the way for a completely new market. It's also a core idea and a reference point for everything that we do. We create products that make the lives of our customers easier and better. Now and in the future. Everyone should have access to our footbed.
