The family responsible for making Birkenstocks have been in the shoe making business for over 225 years. So naturally, finding out that these puppies encourage foot health comes at little surprise. I admit, I thought these shoes were ugly and once told friends “I would never be caught dead in [them] Birkenstocks.”
I enjoy looking into new trends, seeing what bloggers are writing about and what they’re wearing day-to-day. I slowly started to see how popular these shoes were becoming amongst the fashion blogging community. I had a Europe trip fast approaching and thought I would buy a pair for the comfort. While at the store I was happy to see the vast selection of styles and colours they offered for their sandals, shoes and clogs.
After taking them across countries such as Poland, Germany, and Italy I quickly realized how great they made my feet feel. Once upon a time I worked as a waitress so my feet would quickly become very sensitive and irritated to any shoe that didn’t fit properly. Now, when I know I will be on my feet for a long duration of time I make sure to put on my Birkenstocks. My lower back doesn’t hurt at the end of the day, my arch feels supported, my balance is on point, and my feet don’t hurt!
I no longer think they’re ugly but I do think they look better on people with long legs, haha. To see all the other benefits on how Birkenstocks help with foot health, balance, and what material they’re made of (CLICK HERE). This comfortable walking shoe will amaze even the toughest critics.
