You can make your way to ventura boulavard sherman oaks in Los Angeles and stop at the store called Birkenstock footprint comfort shoes. This is certainly one store where you can purchase Birkenstock sandals.

Margot Fraser is credited as the founder of Birkenstock's US division. She encountered Birkenstock sandals while on vacation in Germany in the 1960s and decided to distribute them in the US market, thus founding Birkenstock Distribution USA, Inc.

Yes, absolutely.

Depends where in Germany you are? In Frankfurt there is a Birkenstock Store that only sells birkenstocks and their licensing partners (Papillio, Tatami, Footprints, Birkis, et.)

Birkenstocks are the original made with real leather uppers. Betula is an offshoot of Birkenstock started by Christian Birkenstock in 1994 and is a cost effective alternative to the original Birkenstock shoe. The quality of the Betula isn't as comparable to the Birkenstock, but if you want a low cost Birkie style shoe then maybe the Betula line is for you.
