As the inventor of the footbed, BIRKENSTOCK is popularly known for its exceptional comfort and high functionality based on a history that can be traced as far back as 1774.
This expansion comes as a testimony to surging demand of our loyal and new customers across South Africa. The new BIRKENSTOCK stores are aesthetically created, keeping in mind the rich history and legacy of the brand and at prime consumer locations to ensure maximum visibility.
