BIRKENSTOCK Function | Naturgewolltes Gehen – Walking as nature intended​

The human foot is a wonder of nature. It carries us from infancy to old age, taking on the pressures of the modern world.​ ​ In 1902 Konrad Birkenstock began to develop the cork-latex BIRKENSTOCK footbed with this in mind. The footbed was designed to model a human footprint in the sand, enabling walking as nature intended aka ‘Naturgewolltes Gehen’. Over a century on, the BIRKENSTOCK footbed is the heart and soul of our products – and the mission of Naturgewolltes Gehen continues, step by natural step.​​ ​​ #BIRKENSTOCK #FUNCTION #Naturgewolltesgehen #Naturalwalking​​
