The Birkenstock family can trace shoemaking in their family all the way back to 1754 to a cobbler in Germany called Johann Adam Birkenstock now thats a long time for a family to be in the same business. It was in 1896 that Konrad Birkenstok the grandson of Johann came up with a new idea that started to revolutionise footwear design. Until this point shoes were always flat and Konrad stated that feet are curved not flat so the first contoured shoe was born. These shoes were made by cobblers but couldn’t be used in factory produced shoes at that time. Remember production techniques at this time were not very advanced. Six years later Konrad designed an insert that could be used in factory shoes and worldwide manufacturers adopted this method. It wasn’t until 1964 that the first contoured Birkenstock shoe was produced without the need of an insert these are the type of shoe that we use today. Again this advancement was made by a Birkenstock this time Konrads son Karl.
