Madrid Eva

The Birkenstock brand has been manufacturing slippers for more than 240 years, so you definitely don't have to worry about the quality of their workmanship. This also applies to their Madrid model, which was first introduced in 1963.

Birkenstock's roots date back to 1774, when Johann Adam Birkenstock registered as a shoemaker in a German church archive. This demonstrates the brand's long-standing tradition and craftsmanship. The iconic Birkenstock footbed, with its cork and latex construction, was developed in the 1930s. This design is now recognized worldwide for its comfort and orthopaedic benefits. While Birkenstocks were initially designed for orthopaedic purposes, they became a fashion trend in the 1960s and 1970s, associated with the hippie counterculture. They've continued to be a fashion staple over the years. The brand is committed to sustainability. They use environmentally friendly materials, and their cork footbeds come from sustainably harvested cork oak trees. They also have initiatives to reduce waste and energy consumption. Birkenstock also faced legal battles over pricing and distribution but everything ended well and we can now enjoy the best our feet can get. The comfortability and quality of Birks is so precious that people are willing to wear them until the coldest days arrive. Luckily, the Boston silhouette carry an additional warmth and a weird type of elegance which allows you to wear your Birks literally all the time (snow conditions are better to be excluded).
