Atacama Sandal

Story

Classic Birkenstock comfort for the trail, the beach, and beyond

Birkenstock has been innovating in footwear since the 18th century (no joke), and that tradition continues with the Atacama. It combines the supportive ride that all Birks are known for—thanks to the anatomically shaped footbed—with modern materials like Birko-Flor®, which offers superior durability, doesn’t soak up water, and feels comfortable against the skin. With its cushioned polyurethane sole and adjustable, snug-fitting upper, the Atacama is an ideal choice for off-pavement treks and waterside hangouts.

About Birkenstock

Some things have their moment and pass away into the cultural ether never to be seen again, but not Birkenstock. It’s safe to say the German brand’s laid-back sandals have been having their moment for over 50 years since they first dropped in the US in the 1960s. They were the flagship sandal of the new casual cool style that overtook menswear back then, and have remained a mainstay in both the mainstream and the counterculture ever since. But it didn’t start there—Birkenstock’s shoemaking heritage stretches all the way back to 1774, and once you slip into a pair, you’ll immediately recognize they’ve learned a thing or two about comfortable, high-quality footwear along the way. Still innovating after nearly 250 years, Birkenstock persistently strives toward responsible manufacturing, like upcycling leftover cork from the wine industry for their insoles and introducing a newly designed, even more comfortable and anatomically correct footbed in 2009. All of which is to say, when you slip into these world-renowned sandals, you’re not only putting on a style icon, you’re putting on the best of the best.
