Birkenstock Arizona Aloe Vera Suede Sandal

Product Description:

The Aloe Vera suede Arizona has been around for many years and continues to sell great. In the early 1990s, this one became very popular among high school and college students who would wear them with white tube socks. Birkenstock could not keep them in stock. That was one of the first real Birkenstock fashion trends.

Birkenstock footwear is widely recommended by doctors to improve and maintain the health of the foot. Birkenstock footbeds are made of cork and natural latex, contoured in the shape of a healthy foot. These contours ensure proper weight distribution with raised arches support the foot's natural shape and structure. The toe bar allows toes to grip and flex, stimulating circulation, exercising the leg, and helping maintain balance. The deep heel cup keeps the foot's natural padding under the heel to provide stability. As a result, the correct bones bear the weight of the body to keep the spine and legs in alignment. The result is improved posture and balance for greater comfort when walking. Additionally, the cork/latex blend is pliable and reacts to body heat. Therefore, over time, the footbed yields to the characteristics of an individual foot. It would make sense to think that a softer and more "cushiony" shoe would be more comfortable. But, in fact, the Birkenstock concept of comfort is based on firm, orthopedically correct support. As with a quality mattress, feet require solid support and correct positioning, providing maximum comfort and health. Many long-term Birkenstock wearers find that the longer you wear them, the more comfortable they become.

The original Birkenstock contoured footbed was invented and manufactured in Germany by Konrad Birkenstock in 1897. In fact, the Birkenstock family has been shoemakers for over 225 years--more than two centuries of creating and perfecting a tradition of walking comfort. Birkenstock USA began in 1966 when future founder Margot Fraser sought relief from uncomfortable shoes and tired feet while on vacation in Germany. At a spa, someone suggested that she try Birkenstocks. Margot experienced immediate comfort with her first pair of Birkenstocks. Moreover, she found that the chronic foot pain she had endured for years simply vanished within months after returning home to California. Convinced of its health benefits, she begins importing Birkenstock footwear in America.
