When we talk about iconic footwear, we cannot help but mention Birkenstock , a well-known German brand which, from 1774 to today, has been able to create timeless models, on the feet of women and men of all ages and all styles. In the 18th century, Birkenstock was a laboratory in which experiments were carried out on footwear: its founder was very interested in offering a comfortable and innovative product compared to the standards of the time and thought of including - the first ever in the world - the insole. The success exploded immediately, because at the time there were no shoes as comfortable as those produced by the Birkenstock laboratory. The focus on comfort and respect for the anatomy of the foot has always remained and, if we take a quick leap forward, we discover that even today the brand's shoes are orthopedic and always highly appreciated. The first model that had a real international resonance was the Madrid model, created in 1963 and before, a true icon of Birkenstock . It is a sandal considered "gymnastic" (if we can say so) due to its flexible footbed, which has been incorporated into all the models following this one. Since then, in fact, the collections have multiplied and, today, the brand offers everything you could want: sabots, wedges, lace-ups, ballerinas, sneakers, flip-flops, ankle boots, lined shoes, work shoes and vegan models , which support the environment.
Furthermore, the very particular style of the brand has also made it a glam icon, with collaborations ranging from those with Valentino to those with Dior, up to Jill Sander, pillars of the history of fashion who have been able to find uniqueness in Birkenstock really interesting and they knew how to blend it with their own style of absolute elegance.

Birkenstock Madrid model

We are talking about the Madrid model by Birkentock because it has been produced continuously since 1963 and represents a true must-have for this brand. This is the most well-known and minimal sandal of the brand, which is present with different variations on the theme, but always very close to the original. It is based on an orthopedic cork and latex tile, which guarantees the comfort of the foot and its anatomical support; It is completed with a very simple strap that acts as an upper, which is offered in different shapes: thinner, wider, with a large or small buckle. Furthermore, comfort is guaranteed by an EVA bottom for cushioning and stability.
The strap comes in different colors, including gold and silver, and you can wear your Madrid sandal on any occasion, because it is also perfect with a skirt, as well as with jeans or shorts. Its minimal look and its comfort make it one of the most appreciated and sold shoes in the world since its release. And you won't be surprised to see it on the feet of people from any continent, because the brand's fame no longer has boundaries.

Birkenstock footwear

Over the years, Birkenstock models have multiplied, always maintaining that loyalty to the brand's principles. The Barbados model is designed for the sea and the pool, because it brings all the comfort of the brand's typical shoe with an odorless plastic construction, which makes it very robust for any eventuality. The Boston model has a closed upper at the front and is open at the heel. This shoe is also presented in different materials, even with a lamb insole, and many colors so that you can combine it with any type of casual outfit. If, however, you are a fan of the Madrid model, but want to change, then you can choose the Arizona model, which features two straps and many variations of materials, colors and buckles, always with the same care in the creation of the sole, but with that vegan touch that we are sure you will appreciate.
