These were called arch supports and when placed inside the boot would give the wearer similar extra support that his or her handmade shoes provided. This idea caught at and instead off generating custom shoes Birkenstock grew to become a manufacturer of orthopaedic inserts for produced in higher quantities shoes.
Konrad's son Carl started his father running the organization and by 1925 this arch footbed supports as they were called ended up becoming popular and known throughout Europe as exports were designed to many countries including France, Italy, Austria, Holland, Sweden, Swiss, Czechoslovakia, Norway and The duchy of luxembourg.
The word footbed was also registered being a trademark for Birkenstock as well as was promoted across Europe by seminars stored with Doctors reports this these arch footbed encourages were good for the wearer and helped relieve pain in those who suffered from sore legs. In 1964 Carl's son Karl now being employed by the company designed and produced the 1st Birkenstock soft footbed sandal as well as called it the The town Sandal. |
