The Cork Beneath the Birkenstock Is Getting a Children's Line, and It Arrives Stateside in November

The Spanish firm that shapes the cork footbeds inside Birkenstocks is bringing a line of its own to America, starting with its smallest customers. Its children's shoes reach the United States in November. The company also wants more American stores to carry its name. For readers who have been standing on this company's cork for years without knowing its name, this is the season it steps out from under the buckle and onto the shelf.
