The Best Hiking Sandal

Hiking is a favorite sport of many. Apart from being a good physical exercise, it relaxes the mind also, being in natural surroundings. Using a hiking sandal is definitely comfortable for morning or afternoon hikes. However, it’s important to choose the right sandals for the purpose for keeping away injuries. You get special-purpose sandals for hiking.

It’s quite common for hikers to wear sandals for short hikes. They are comfortable and are specially designed for hiking to remain easy on pressure points and for preventing the formation of blisters, which are often experienced while using hiking shoes.

A good hiking sandals must use a breathable material with thick rubber soles to help avoiding slips. You have a choice of two styles of hiking sandals.

You get a better freedom of movements on using open toe sandals. The better designs come with mid-soles and are comfortable with thick socks. Mid-soles act as shock absorbers and save you from foot or ankle injuries. It ‘s fine too use them for light hiking during the day for not too difficult terrains.

Sandals that have a closed toe are made of leather with a mesh like design on the top that offers better circulation of air, thereby improving its breathing ability. They work well for day hikes or long strolls, as they offer more protection than open toe sandals.

No sandal can be suitably designed to provide safety for overnight hikes or even daylong trips. The ideal footwear while going for a hike in the mountains is your pair of hiking shoes. They not only protect you, but also act as shock absorbers for your feet. Sandals are not meant for rough terrain and harsh weather. You are liable to get injuries in the form of blisters, wounds, frostbite and cuts. Further, shoes provide better support to your ankles and would prove especially helpful in case of an already injured ankle.

The Beauty of Birkenstock Sandals

If you happen to be from the generation of the sixties you would perhaps easily recall the first time you have had a chance to view a pair of ugly looking rustic shoes worn by a native of Germany. Apart from the visual impression created by those shoes, you must have wondered if such a pair could ever be comfortable. In due course of time, after wearing those sandals prepared from used tires, you surely would have known that those were not the cheapest ones. Those were Birkenstock sandals! And, mind you they had a class of their own.

It is indeed difficult to imagine that for generations members of Birkenstock family have been continuing with this business of making shoes that was started by Johann Birkenstock way back in 1774 when he toiled as a shoemaker in a remote area of Germany.

In 1890's, Konrad Birkenstock, a descendant of Johann and a traditional shoemaker himself had a very innovative idea. He decided to make a shoe that really followed the curves of a human foot and successively produced such shoe. But all such shoes were custom made. It was a big success till a decade later automation came in for making shoes on a mass scale. Consequently the demand for custom-made shoes dwindled.

But that did not really prove a deterrent for the Birkenstock family that created an insert, which would actually hug the contours of a foot, specifically its arch. The best feature of the design was that the insert could be used with almost any shoe. For the next five decades Konrad and his son Carl continued to improve and refine the design of their creation. This unique and useful product became so popular that it was nicknamed as "footbed supports" and the word "footbed" was registered as a trademark of Birkenstock.

In 1954, Karl, grandson of Konard became a board member of family business. He had never been happy with the idea that the family business be known as makers of shoe inserts that had a rather limited number of customers, more so with bad feet.

He wished to produce such a comfortable shoe for a common man that would make him feel as comfortable as if he were walking barefoot. It was indeed a novel concept, as most of the people considered shoes as the most unnatural piece of apparel ever devised just for providing protection and not comfort to your feet. He had a second look at his grandfather's idea of flexible arch supports and coupled it with his personal knowledge of foot flexes of a shoe while in motion.

At last after ten years of research and design the world was introduced to its first model of Birkenstock sandals, the Madrid.

Sometime during 1966, just in time for the Woodstock generation, a lady by the name of Margot Fraser while visiting her native country, Germany, purchased her very first pair of foot bed sandals. Soon she realized that the sandals she had purchased, to a great extent relieved the terrible foot pain she had been suffering since childhood. She brought Birkenstock flip flops to America for the first time and the rest as we know is history.

Today, Birkenstock offers more than four hundred different styles of its sandals, clogs, flip flops and shoes. Birkenstock sandals are produced in a wide range of materials, colors, and sizes. Every year new materials and styles are added. The designers and the manufacturers continue to be as creative as ever in their product design, which undoubtedly is their hallmark. They continue to look ugly, are still comparatively expensive, but above all probably still the best footwear in the world.
