If you are a “child of the sixties”, then you have to remember the first time you saw someone wearing a pair of Birkenstock sandals. Ugly, rustic, and probably uncomfortable were your first impressions. And wow, were they expensive after you were used to wearing a pair of sandals made from an old tire. However, these were Birkenstock sandals!

It is hard to believe that generations of Birkenstock family members have been designing and crafting footwear since 1774, when Johann Birkenstock worked as a shoemaker in a small German village.

It all started when in the 1890s, Konrad Birkenstock, Johann’s descendant and a custom shoemaker himself, had a revolutionary idea. He decided to create a show that matched the actual shape of the human foot. These were all custom made and were a great success. Unfortunately, the next decade brought the introduction of cheaper factory-made shoes and a decline in the demand for custom-made footwear.

One of the biggest retailers of shoes is the Internet. The Internet will have many different retailers who specialize in selling shoes for wide feet. The only drawback is you can not try on the shoes beforehand to see if they fit your foot or are comfortable and there is nothing more annoying than a bad pair of shoes. A couple of things can be done to help with this drawback. One, make sure you have the correct shoe size before purchasing shoes for wide feet. And second, carefully read over their return policy. Some online retailers will accept returns if the shoes haven’t been worn. Many times specialty shoes are more expensive but you can save money by shopping on the Internet as there are so many retailers available.
