The Arizona style is one of the brand’s best-selling unisex styles and is made with Birkenstock’s trademark synthetic leather.

The sandals are perfect for all day wear to the beach, when meeting friends for lunch, while shopping and for general daily outings.

Whether on the feet of Gwyneth Paltrow in Los Angeles, Sienna Miller in New York or Claire Foy of The Crown in London, the shoes have firmly shaken off their “sleazy” reputation everywhere.

Previously, Birkenstocks were popular in the late 1960s and early 1970s among adherents of the Earth Mother, alfalfa, and muesli-eating scene.

The shoes became popular again in the 1990s and recent years.

While the style has been criticized in the past, this hasn’t stopped the shoe from becoming a global sensation with an estimated enterprise value of a whopping $4.9 billion US/$7.1 billion AUD, according to Fortune.

Founded in East Germany in 1774 by Johann Adam Birkenstock, the brand remained a family business for centuries, dedicated to producing orthopedic sandals with a softly molded sole that promotes healthy stride and posture.

It wasn’t until 1896 that master shoemaker Konrad Birkenstock started producing and selling insoles with a flexible footbed.

Flash forward to 1902 when Konrad Birkenstock developed the first molded arch support and in 1964 Karl Birkenstock launched the Madrid model – the first fitness sandal with a deep and flexible footbed.

Now millions of pairs are sold worldwide every year and the high quality is maintained.
