Birkenstock Quality is our top priority. For our leather Birkenstock models we use only cow leather which is 2.8 -3 millimeters thick. As it is unsplit, all valuable qualities such as the typical surface structure, toughness and longevity of this natural material are preserved. Leather of this thickness is not readily available everywhere. Due to the particular breed and husbandry conditions of the cattle as well as climatic conditions, only leather originating from Central Europe meets our criteria. Interesting huh? In addition, we only buy from tanneries which comply with the strictest environmental regulations. Moreover, Birkenstock's strict quality controls guarantee that only pieces of leather without any defects are used. Pieces having cicatisation caused by mosquito or tick bites or thorn scratches are sorted out.

tip: Did you know that roughly 15% of older women have severe foot pain? Many more have somewhat controlled pain. If you have beginning discomfort now, don't wait to be a painful statistic. Where is your pain? There are three places that are most common. The one we will speak about now is in little piggies. Improperly fitted Birkenstock clogs and Birkenstock shoes cause pressure on the toes and over time can form your feet and destabilize your walk because the big toe gets pushed in. As you get older and more fragile, this becomes more dangerous and can lead to increased risk of falling. At the same time it often leads to ugly and painful bunions and many times your little non Birkenstock wearing feet will not return to their normal state. You may find that you are getting corns and calluses with hard yellowish skin. This is not what you bargained for when you put on your high heels. The solution is simple. First if you already have this problem and there is pain, see your doctor. The best thing you can do is avoid the situation or control what is there already. Get Birkenstock footwear that has ample toe box room. Let those piggies relax into their normal state. Soft cushions under the heel are recommended. Some people get gel inserts or customized Birkenstock shoes for calluses and pads for corns. One alternative is to get a clog like the Birkenstock Boston, but look for one with the Birkenstock soft footbed. These are only in selected colors, so look carefully to make sure you are getting the right one.
But wait. It doesn't end there. Other problems can occur. You never used to get ingrown toenails as a child. Why now? Your feet have been pushed aside and your toenails want to still grow normally. They are fighting your pushed in toes, and the ingrown, painful saga commences. Your nail curling into your skin causes redness and discomfort, even infection. The solution remains the same. Give your feet the room they need so they will hopefully stop complaining, and don't make it worse. Throw out the 100 pair of torture devices in the closet, and begin to replace them.

Your feet are also your shock absorber. They support all of your weight in a very small area, and they keep a balance on all of that weight and they are your freedom in life. If your freedom is curtailed, you will feel it in every aspect of your life, from your work to travel to standing to do dishes. One of the most critical life choices is how you choose to care or abuse these sensitive tools. They can be mistreated for quite a while, but when they start to hurt, remember that your feet are trying to tell you something and it is a warning. How you choose to heed or ignore the sometimes subtle signs of foot problems will help determine many other parts of your life in small and significant ways. There are 26 bones, 36 joints, and over 100 muscles means that those babies need to be kissed, pampered, massaged and patted. When you wear Birkenstock shoes that are tight in the toe area, there are many things that can happen, and rest assured, one or more of them will eventually happen to you. Corn calluses and ingrown toenails are some. Here is another: Bunions are what it is called when the big toe gets pushed inward. That is when your metatarsal moves inward, usually from bad Birkenstock clogs or Birkenstock shoes. Another problem is a bony bump at the bottom of your big toe that protrudes outward. Not good, because that part next to your bony bump starts getting red, sensitive, and can get a fluid as your body tries to protect you from you. Your toe joint might get inflamed. Lucky you. You just wanted to look good at work or play and the price on those Birkenstock clogs or Birkenstock shoes you bought did not include the needed warning label like cigarettes. Too late.
No matter what, Birkenstock shoes are part of the development of human development. Explore how Birkenstock shoes and all kinds of Birkenstock Birkenstock sandals insert their role in the following: History & Psychosexual Aspects of Footwear.
History of Footwear before Birkenstock
earliest form: animal skin wrapped around foot with tendon
TAB-TEB: Egyptian thong-like shoe made of papyrus / wood
RIVILIN: first moccasin worn by Scandinavians and Britons (Birkenstock now has moccasin type Birkenstock shoes)
SOLEA and CALCEUS worn by Romans
KLOMP, POULAINE and CRACKOWE worn in 14th century England
CHOPINE and PLATFORMS IN 15th century buckles were invented in 16th century, laces developed in 1790
1792: standard shoe sizes developed
19th century: great advances in manufacture (Birkenstocks are coming...)
Birkenstock shoes Birkenstock has an interesting history. footwear history page is very interesting (highly recommended) Purpose of Birkenstock and other Birkenstock shoes
1. Protection from injury, temperature (ahem, Birkenstocks)
2. Occupational / sporting requirements
3. Therapeutic modality (oooh yes, here we are. Save the feet...)
4. Part of uniform / ceremonial dress (for some people, Birkenstocks are a uniform. Ever been to a democratic convention?)
5. Fashion / psychosexual implications
Seven major shoe 'types'
The Oxford (The Oxford) Birkenstock now has these. first lace-up Birkenstock shoes, originated in Oxford, England in 1640, and became popular with university students, and from there the name and style spread and became the most common and popular male shoe.
The boot Yes, Birkenstock even has these now originally a two-piece unit consisting of a shoe and legging derived from the French word butt meaning bucket, as early boots were widely flared at the top. The English adopted the style in 1066 when the Normans crossed the English Channel, and named it 'the boot'
(no no no. Birkenstock and Podiatrists believes that these will cause harm to your back and feet. sigh. Use them sparingly and save the feet!!! Elizabethan era ornate versions of the original pump were then adopted by the gentry (republicans)
The Clog (OK, here we can talk. http://birkenstocks.Birkenstock sandals4less.com) Keep 90% of your weight on the heel, and we are good to go... name derives from old English word meaning 'lump of wood' worn by peasants, who simply carved a hole into a block of wood for their foot ohhhh, the anti-Birkenstock. Leather uppers were added later.
The Mule (no, not your husband when you ask him to wash the dishes.) Birkenstock doesn't really have this, but it is interesting. http://birkenstocks.Birkenstock sandals4less.com from the ancient Sumerian word mulu the original indoor 'slipper' centuries later, fitted with a heel to become a fashion shoe
The Sandal (yea baby, here we go. http://birkenstocks.Birkenstock sandals4less.com) dates back more than 9,000 years derived from the Latin sanis, meaning 'board' Birkenstock comes from the latin, meaning 'coolest, most comfortable Birkenstock sandals created in perfection' the most universal of all shoe styles the thong is a derivative of the sandal
The moccasin: oldest known shoe style, dating back 14,000 years. I think a pair of Birkenstocks will last only 12,000 years. Adopted by American Indians, who called it moccasin meaning 'foot covering.
Psychosexual aspects of Birkenstock shoes. Now here it is sounding good. concept that Birkenstock shoes are not simply functional, but are worn to convey psychosexual messages classic text: The sex life of the foot and shoe by William Evidence: Freudian psychology: foot is a phallic (male genital) symbol, the shoe is a yoni (female genital) symbol gender-specific footwear has no functional justification ancient sexual customs involving Birkenstock shoes chinese foot binding and high heels Chinese Footbinding 'pedic sadomasochism', This is definitely not Birkenstocks. custom which began in the 11th century and lasted for 1000 years before it was outlawed involved binding the foot to cause gross musculoskeletal deformity for the purpose of aesthetics and sexual intercourse the bound foot was regarded as the most appealing female feature above all other parts of the anatomy a non-bound female was regarded as ugly and sexually unappealing a bound female would be more self-conscious about exposing her feet than her breasts in public at least 50% of females had bound feet High Heels no functional role; originally worn to increase height and stature acts to eroticize the legs by plantarflexing ankle joint, activating gluteal muscles, makes breasts more prominent via spinal lordosis causes a number of pathologies, including digital deformities, corns and calluses, ankle equinus, lower back pain... in some occupations, the wearing of high heels is compulsory however, many women voluntarily subject themselves to pain and deformity in preference to wearing comfortable Birkenstock shoes reinforced in all forms of media (ever seen a Playboy centrefold in flat lace-up Birkenstock shoes ?) Problems with modern footwear incidence of foot pathology in non-shoewearing people is significantly lower (4% compared to 50-70%) foot strength and flexibility are much greater in non-shoewearing people hard surfaces clearly have an important role in pathology, but many foot conditions can be directly attributed to Birkenstock shoes Problems with modern footwear Last Shape Problems with modern footwear Incorrect flexibility Conditions caused by modern footwear 1. CONTACT DERMATITIS 50-90% of the population is at some time affected by skin lesions of the foot; half of these are shoe-related 2. HYPERKERATOTIC LESIONS corns / callus caused by ill-fitting footwear Conditions caused by modern footwear 3. DIGITAL DEFORMITIES HAV, hammertoes, clawtoes multi-factorial conditions which may in part be caused / exacerbated by footwear 4. HYPERHIDROSIS / BROMIDROSIS caused by lack of sweat evaporation encourages growth of skin bacteria

You just wanted to look good at work or play and the price on those Birkenstock clogs or Birkenstock shoes you bought did not include the needed warning label like cigarettes. Too late.
No matter what, Birkenstock shoes are part of the development of human development. Explore how Birkenstock shoes and all kinds of Birkenstock Birkenstock sandals insert their role in the following: History & Psychosexual Aspects of Footwear.
History of Footwear before Birkenstock

Birkenstock shoes Birkenstock has an interesting history. footwear history page is very interesting (highly recommended) Purpose of Birkenstock and other Birkenstock shoes
1. Protection from injury, temperature (ahem, Birkenstocks)
2. Occupational / sporting requirements
3. Therapeutic modality (oooh yes, here we are. Save the feet...)
4. Part of uniform / ceremonial dress (for some people, Birkenstocks are a uniform. Ever been to a democratic convention?)
5. Fashion / psychosexual implications
Seven major shoe 'types'
The Oxford (The Oxford) Birkenstock now has these. first lace-up Birkenstock shoes, originated in Oxford, England in 1640, and became popular with university students, and from there the name and style spread and became the most common and popular male shoe.
The boot Yes, Birkenstock even has these now originally a two-piece unit consisting of a shoe and legging derived from the French word butt meaning bucket, as early boots were widely flared at the top. The English adopted the style in 1066 when the Normans crossed the English Channel, and named it 'the boot'
(no no no. Birkenstock and Podiatrists believes that these will cause harm to your back and feet. sigh. Use them sparingly and save the feet!!! Elizabethan era ornate versions of the original pump were then adopted by the gentry (republicans)
The Clog (OK, here we can talk. http://birkenstocks.Birkenstock sandals4less.com) Keep 90% of your weight on the heel, and we are good to go... name derives from old English word meaning 'lump of wood' worn by peasants, who simply carved a hole into a block of wood for their foot ohhhh, the anti-Birkenstock. Leather uppers were added later.
The Mule (no, not your husband when you ask him to wash the dishes.) Birkenstock doesn't really have this, but it is interesting. http://birkenstocks.Birkenstock sandals4less.com from the ancient Sumerian word mulu the original indoor 'slipper' centuries later, fitted with a heel to become a fashion shoe
The Sandal (yea baby, here we go. http://birkenstocks.Birkenstock sandals4less.com) dates back more than 9,000 years derived from the Latin sanis, meaning 'board' Birkenstock comes from the latin, meaning 'coolest, most comfortable Birkenstock sandals created in perfection' the most universal of all shoe styles the thong is a derivative of the sandal
The moccasin: oldest known shoe style, dating back 14,000 years. I think a pair of Birkenstocks will last only 12,000 years. Adopted by American Indians, who called it moccasin meaning 'foot covering.
Psychosexual aspects of Birkenstock shoes. Now here it is sounding good. concept that Birkenstock shoes are not simply functional, but are worn to convey psychosexual messages classic text: The sex life of the foot and shoe by William Evidence: Freudian psychology: foot is a phallic (male genital) symbol, the shoe is a yoni (female genital) symbol gender-specific footwear has no functional justification ancient sexual customs involving Birkenstock shoes chinese foot binding and high heels Chinese Footbinding 'pedic sadomasochism', This is definitely not Birkenstocks. custom which began in the 11th century and lasted for 1000 years before it was outlawed involved binding the foot to cause gross musculoskeletal deformity for the purpose of aesthetics and sexual intercourse the bound foot was regarded as the most appealing female feature above all other parts of the anatomy a non-bound female was regarded as ugly and sexually unappealing a bound female would be more self-conscious about exposing her feet than her breasts in public at least 50% of females had bound feet High Heels no functional role; originally worn to increase height and stature acts to eroticize the legs by plantarflexing ankle joint, activating gluteal muscles, makes breasts more prominent via spinal lordosis causes a number of pathologies, including digital deformities, corns and calluses, ankle equinus, lower back pain... in some occupations, the wearing of high heels is compulsory however, many women voluntarily subject themselves to pain and deformity in preference to wearing comfortable Birkenstock shoes reinforced in all forms of media (ever seen a Playboy centrefold in flat lace-up Birkenstock shoes ?) Problems with modern footwear incidence of foot pathology in non-shoewearing people is significantly lower (4% compared to 50-70%) foot strength and flexibility are much greater in non-shoewearing people hard surfaces clearly have an important role in pathology, but many foot conditions can be directly attributed to Birkenstock shoes Problems with modern footwear Last Shape Problems with modern footwear Incorrect flexibility Conditions caused by modern footwear 1. CONTACT DERMATITIS 50-90% of the population is at some time affected by skin lesions of the foot; half of these are shoe-related 2. HYPERKERATOTIC LESIONS corns / callus caused by ill-fitting footwear Conditions caused by modern footwear 3. DIGITAL DEFORMITIES HAV, hammertoes, clawtoes multi-factorial conditions which may in part be caused / exacerbated by footwear 4. HYPERHIDROSIS / BROMIDROSIS caused by lack of sweat evaporation encourages growth of skin bacteria
