Although the shoe was made for typical be flat, Konrad noted that our feet are rounded, so perhaps this platform is not an ideal design for comfort.

Some years later, Konrad develops an insert arc that can be put into the skin to cushion the feet in this design dish. This has helped create a more comfortable walking experience while helping to establish the Birkenstock name.

In 1964, the inserts become the basis for designing Birkenstock sandals in Germany. These shoes became very popular as well, even showing up in spas and health centers.
