The most distinctive feature of Birkenstock sandals is its sole. Friends who have just met this brand must not think about the main components of its sole. At first glance, it will be thought to be a material such as ordinary cork. It is not known that cork is graded according to its weight, elasticity, and firmness, and only the higher grade cork can be used to make cork stoppers. Birkenstock purchased the cork left after making the cork, twisted it into pieces and mixed it with natural latex, and pressed it into a famous cork shoe.
Birkenstock sandals feature not only the use of different materials to make shoes but also the shoes themselves have very high technological content. In terms of the most representative slippers, the most ergonomic technology to create the most suitable shoes is the 100-year-old shoe concept and the most beautiful and wearable sandals. The difference. I believe this is through the friends of the Birkenstock brand. And this is the basis for the Birkenstock sandals to have such a long history, but it is becoming more and more popular around the world. I believe that friends who know the goods will not mind trying to bring comfort to the ankle.
