Footbed

BIRKENSTOCK is credited as being the inventor of the footbed. The footbed allows BIRKENSTOCK to supply a level of comfort no other shoe can. The idea of a flexible and supportive insole is where the footbed came from. Anatomical support when walking and standing is tied to every BIRKENSTOCK shoe. BIRKENSTOCK first used the footbed in the 1930s.
