Birkenstock Benefits From Growing Demand for Clogs and Boots

Birkenstock Holding Plc saw robust holiday demand for its clogs, boots and high-end shearling-lined footwear as the German sandal maker continues a push to become a footwear brand for all seasons.

The closed-toe offerings helped push Birkenstock’s revenue up 18% on a constant-currency basis to €402 million ($477 million) in the three months through Dec. 31, the company said Thursday, confirming preliminary figures released last month. That’s ahead of the company’s guidance for the year, which calls for sales to rise by as much as 15%.
