People looking for comfortable, quality footwear often turn to Birkenstock to meet their needs. Since these well-made shoes and sandals can be pricey, many shoppers are interested in buying these quality shoes at a discount. Although some shoppers search for them at local outlet malls, Birkenstock outlets can best be found in Germany. If you are not in Europe, bargains can be easily found online and at a few American stores.
Outlet Stores in Germany
There are 15 Birkenstock Outlets throughout Germany, including some near Hamburg and Basel. A complete list of these outlets, along with a few German sale factories and warehouses, can be found at Factory-Outlets.org.
You can find great deals at these stores. For example, a TripAdvisor reviewer praises the store in Bad Honnef, which is located near the Rhine River, 48.2 km from Cologne and 18.9 km from Bonn. The reviewer writes that prices are much more economical than elsewhere, and praises its variety of styles and sizes as well as excellent savings.

High quality shoes aren't cheap, and these unique shoes are known for both quality and comfort. You can occasionally find them for less than $35 with a discount retailer, although you can generally expect to pay at least $50 for a pair of sandals or clogs. Prices run up to around $150. The children's collections of sandals and clogs run slightly less expensive than adult sizes.
Finding the Best Deals
While there are only a few Birkenstock factory outlets in the world, you can find these shoes at a discounted price if you are willing to spend some time searching for the best deals. Even though they may be more expensive than other sandals, the price is worth it for a fine quality shoe.
