First developed as an arch support system in the late 1800s, the Birkenstock sandal wasn't actually produced until 1964. And when Birkenstocks hit the market in 1968, you couldn't really call yourself a "hippie" if you didn't own a pair. While "Birks" are still a favorite among the young, their comfortability, durability, and style have made them not only an icon, but the footwear choice of many loyal fans of all ages.
Today, this ever-popular line includes over 400 styles of shoes, but among their most popular are the Birkenstock sandals that started it all, the "Arizona" two-strap, like the one pictured above. Birkenstock footwear is available for men, women and children.
