When i see how much hand work they have combined with technology that requires investment I think they are giving value for money. I only have one pair, initially i didn’t want them because i thougt they were ugly, but now i feel them so comfortable that i can’t stop using them.
Those who make silly comments about workers not wearing Birkenstock, need to understand that in an industrial environment, workers must wear safety shoes!
A fantastic piece detailing the building of my favorite sandal. I just resoled two pair of Birkenstocks and it was quite easy but it gives you a great view of the construction of these works of art. Heat and pressure is the creative element of these beautiful shoes. I’m always shocked when I view a video of someone sanding the soles off when a heatbed or heat gun does the job quickly. Keep building a great product Birkenstock !
Workers showing respect for the quality and machinery that technology is obvious, after watching… I must buy another pair Birkenstock cause they are SIMPLY THE BEST‼️🔝 Thank you everyone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Always wear Birkenstock sandals especially after work or in my spare time. Have the Cairo, and the Milano. In summer without socks, in winter in dry weather Milanos with woolen socks are great.
I wear Birkenstock, during work, for more than 10 years. I hope quality doesn't go down, or being exported for production in abroad, as they sold to the market.
Me emociona ver el crecimiento de un producto, cada paso cada maquina diseñada para mejorar y mejorar la calidad. Es verdad también que te enfrenta a lo masivo y ahí es otro tema a discutir. Sigo eligiendo la belleza en la singularidad de cada persona como de cada producto que que la acompaña. Gracias por compartir el interior de birkenstock
I got my arizonas in 2018, I think. They cost 80€ back then, now the same pair is 120€. I understand that inflation, rising supply costs and all are doing it’s thing, but it feels like a steep increase. My family has been wearing Birkenstocks for decades but with the new image and the rise of plastic being used instead of leather we don’t really fit their demographic anymore, unfortunately.
More than anything else its the marketing‘s approach to make this become a luxury product. We should not buy it for 2 years and wait what effect,this has on pricing. However! It would require 50+ % of us to act like this.
Ein neuer Inhaber. Wir deutsche sind auch sauer...die Birkens waren schon immer unsere Arbeitsschuhe und jetzt sind die so teuer geworden, dass es sich langsamm nicht jeder leisten kann. Ich befürchte, dass mit der Zeit die noch teuerer werden.😢 Und hoffentlich wird die Produktion nicht nach Asien verlegt, wer weiss, was die Zukunft bring...
i 💚 this video. nice to know how mine are made. i’m obsessed with all the colors & textures; the craftsmanship, quality & comfort is simply amazing. i loved reading the articles on page six & elle magazine. happy holidays!
Great Insight into the making of my favorite sandal. Now I know why the price tag is high. Long lasting and timeless elegance. Thank you for a great product.
Very cool to see the production process. Had to mute the video due to the horrible background music. Interesting to see that most of the workers were not wearing the shoes they were making.
After more than 50 years loyal I am no more. Birkenstock appears to be flooding UA-cam with promotional videos. I always kept a pair of the London product. Long lasting, always comfortable and a statement I was proud to make. After 1 year the leather upper began to separate with an odd thin top layer I’d never witnessed before. I contacted Birkenstock and they gave me a line about how some products last longer depending on their use. I always took very good care of my shoes so they last. If the sole wore out it was simply replaced but the upper now? It’s sad. Very sad.
While I admire the process of making them and the story behind Birkenstock, but my God! They fûƆķíňG hurt wearing them! Both my feet's arches were swollen and numb after a day of wearing them. I bought two pairs on different years because I really want to love them, but my experiences were frustratingly bad. I finally researched on it and they say it may take a week to break them in. But no, for me it hurts weeks after weeks so I finally gave them up. Sorry Birkenstock.
A FANTASTIC VIDEO, SEEING THE WHOLE PROCESS THAT MY BELOVED BIRKS TOOK FROM START TO FINISH WAS PRETTY AWESOME. I LOVE THE CARE & ATTENTION TO DETAIL, EACH PAIR PERFECT! I HAVE 2 PAIRS, MY "POSH" KYOTO & MY DAILY GO-TO’S MY ARIZONAS, I L🤍VE, LOVE, THEM. THERE ARE NEW ONES THAT HAVE CAUGHT MY EYES BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO WAIT. THANKS FOR AN AWESOME VIDEO BIRKENSTOCK. ✌🏼😊 🇬🇧
I just purchased my second pair, a classic the Arizona, it is my second pair, my crosstown Milanos are still going strong. But do you have a suggestion how I can “renew” the footbed texture to at least close to its original state ? Is there cork renewal products available? Danke 🙏
just getting into birkenstocks and watching a lot of videos. I would recommend on to update the bottom (outsole) heal. as they seem to wear pretty fast. Im currently waiting for my 1st pair to come from they website.
Came for the video, stayed for the music. What a fantastic upload! Thanks for sharing the inner workings of making a Birkenstock. Any chance we can download this soundtrack!?
Hi there and thank you for letting us know that you enjoy our video ♥ Unfortunately this amazing special work from Seb Redgrove and Ben Redgrove is not available for download. The soundtrack uses sonic elements harvested from the deepest corners of our German manufacturing hubs to create an ambient audio portrays the beauty of our production process :) You can check out Seb's story here ua-cam.com/video/Gov2-RHPjIs/v-deo.htmlsi=Qkk5lXnf3XVNHzUH
Overpriced since owned by LVMH and stock market launch. And they terminated long lasting partnership with thousands of shoe vendors who supported the brand often for decades. A long term fan woeful says Good bye.
Explain why the Pisa cost $110 in 2009? They have always been pricey. You equate high price with going public? If anything, the problem will be the opposite: offshoring & cheapening production in an endless race to the bottom. If anything, KEEP the high prices so jobs stay home & quality is retained.
Good riddance. We true supporters are willing to pay living wages in a highly developed, non-offshore manufacturing supply chain for quality, comfort, and most importantly health. We invest in our producers by putting our money where our mouth (and feet) is, and gleefully say hello to each new replacement of our longtime loved product lines. Albeit worth no more than a minute’s effort no doubt, your efforts would have been better placed voting as a shareholder activist to keep it locally produced. Also, no proof of cutting ties with local traders.
It’s not the same anymore since LVMH purchased the company. It’s not German anymore. It’s international and forced. I’m wearing Birkenstock since my childhood. But the insane prices really make me not wanna buy any more.
1 min into the video & none of the employees are wearing Birkenstocks .. don't yall provide them free of charge to your blue collar staff that stand all day? Also, I'd like the Kyoto in a tortise green horween shell cordovan. Since you already cut the pattern for the Kyoto is there anyway I could aend in the appropriate amount of leather to have your craftspeople assemble them in house retaining the Birkenstock quality & seal of approval?
The fact that employees were not able to even fake a smile for the video tells you about the working conditions ( typical German factories). The background music is sad and depressing and these medieval scandals are expensive for no reason.
I guess u have no idea about these factories and the vision behind this video. Good materials, fair salaries, long lifespans, environmentally friendly and timeless design make the price more understandable. Generally the working conditions in these factories are pretty good, especially in international comparison.
Birkenstock = value for money !!!
One of the best shoe brands you can choose knowing that you will wear quality - in my opinion

I own 3 pairs of them. The EVA ones are very comfy. I cant believe these folks have touched the ones I wear with pride and dedication.

Great video!!
Such mastery that goes into making these shoes...I adore each pair of mine...
Thank you so much. Quality is and will always be our core value to bring into our products :)

Got my first pair of Arizonas in 1979. Been wearing Milanos since 1984.
Excellent reportage, merci à ces femmes et ces hommes pour ces produits de qualité que nous apprécions quotidiennement!
This made me love much more my Birkenstocks.!❤
Great video! Has anyone else noticed that none of the workers are wearing Birkenstocks 😄?
Die stellen keine Sicherheitschuhe her. Und in Deutschland ist es verboten die Arbeitshalle ohne Sicherheitschuhe zu betretten! 😂
Bestimmt ein toller Arbeitgeber! 👍🏼
Nice video work, and of course the product.

Thank you so much for letting us to be your feet's companions ♥
Wow... it's like Koyaanisqatsi but only Birkenstocks. 😍
Used one pair of this brand, it was the most comfortable from all I used before. Not cheap, but the quality and comfort is top❤
Cliente fidèle ! depuis 20 ans !
It’s a great product. If only the video had subtitles to show us the manufacturing process.
Wow this is just incredible and so beautiful to see
I know the Bostons are trending, but I love my Naples and Buckley!
Very cool to see the production process. Had to mute the video due to the horrible background music. Interesting to see that most of the workers were not wearing the shoes they were making.
Had my 1st Birkenstock in 1994. It was a gizeh. It last long I don't have to always buy a new one
I didn't know this brand, but damn you have a great marketing team!
We had a Birkenstock factory here in NorCal for years , right next to HW 101
Zelo zanimiv prikaz izdelave obutve, ki temelji na ekološki čistosti in istočasno na lepem, praktičnem in sodobnem videzu obutve.
Moje čestitke.
Wonderful company. Don’t lose your soul to LVMH
Expensive product😮
I found it interesting that most of the workers in the Birkenstock factory were not wearing Birkenstocks!

Asian guy here...yes, product from Germany is High Quality!
Why do you choose this soundtrack? It feels like in a thriller movie
Not overpriced pure quality .
Thank you for sharing this video I’m very impressed the process. Love Birkenstock ❤
Magnifique vidéo

Like me, the arch of your foot may be different than the shoe. Eventually my shoes reformed
I love my Birks!👌🥰👉♥️👍

Thank you so much
Eerie.
Have they always used composite cork? Mine don’t look it.
I just purchased my second pair, a classic the Arizona, it is my second pair, my crosstown Milanos are still going strong.
But do you have a suggestion how I can “renew” the footbed texture to at least close to its original state ? Is there cork renewal products available? Danke 🙏
A good cobbler could probably do it. One cobbler showed me once with a customer's shoe.
I have birken when I was a kid in the 90$
Wow ❤
Respect!
Ridley Scott made this??

Brother Sandal is Awesome but over priced in India 😢

Exactly right, but it's just easier to be Anti-Business and blame

i want Birkenstock sneaker
Hi there and thank you for your interest! You can check out our BEND collection here :) www.birkenstock.com/c/models-bend

Made in Germany but the glue come off easily
None of the workers were wearing birkenstocks :(
1 pair sandal 500 ringgit in Malaysia…but birkenstock very quality money😅😅😅😅 no problem
1 min into the video & none of the employees are wearing Birkenstocks .. don't yall provide them free of charge to your blue collar staff that stand all day?
Also, I'd like the Kyoto in a tortise green horween shell cordovan.
Since you already cut the pattern for the Kyoto is there anyway I could aend in the appropriate amount of leather to have your craftspeople assemble them in house retaining the Birkenstock quality & seal of approval?
Lol this is funny, you have to adhere to safety regulations by wearing safety boots.
I L❤Ve birKen....but expensive slip On...😅😢 I wish i have 1.
克拉克斯推出
Christopher Nolan?
2024. TOKYO 4TW.
Usually I feel companies put out these videos to show why something costs so much. After watching this I definitely feel Birkenstocks are overpriced.
You produce a made in Germany sandal with high quality materials and sell it for cheaper then.
is anyone out there being generous? i’ve been wanting to have one for so long but i cannot afford it 😢
Excellent video on the human place still in the production ! But why this science fiction music?
Cannot spot anybody wearing them in the video.
The fact that employees were not able to even fake a smile for the video tells you about the working conditions ( typical German factories). The background music is sad and depressing and these medieval scandals are expensive for no reason.

Of course not! It’s by law in Germany that you have to wear safety shoes for work. And that’s what the workers wear.😉
Then riddle me this Batman Then why are some of them wearing Adidas NMD’s and new balance 574’s, which are not designed for workwear?🤔
@@Melmac1756 These are not works shoes no matter how good they are.
@@p1lgr1m23 exactly that’s is exactly my point in that factory none of them seem to be wearing any type of safety footwear.
"in theaters, 2027" lol
Beatifull video show, beautifull product, bad music 😅
German perfection. Mercedes for feet's.
115 euro this slippers
Jeez... I thought it was made by hippies!
Well, a hippie shoe for the rich, made by proletarians.
Toller und interessanter Film, aber eine sehr nervige Hintergrundmusik.( für mich)
Am I watching a horror movie? The background music doesnt fit right
😂
😁👻😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Horror movie pala lo!.
Sounds like the soundtrack of Crocodile Dundee!
I thought it was fitting.
