I am visiting Frankfurt in May and want to shop for Birkenstock shoes and clogs. Im looking for stores that stock all different Birkenstock brands, particularly Papillio and traditional Birkenstocks.
Also if anyone has other shopping/sightseeing advice for Frankfurt that would be great. Trying to work out the best part of town to stay in.
Thanks very much for your help!

Hi, I am german, so I hope I can help. You will find the real Birkenstock shoes only in Orthopedic Shoe stores in germany. It’s “Ortopaedische Schuhe”, thats what you need to look for, there are a lot of them.
ZARA you want to shop at Zara.
I was born in Ffm but I live now in Melbourne. My wife is nuts about Zara. Cheap but VERY good quality, compared to the Asian shit they sell us here.
Shopping depends on what your looking for. Germany is not big on Malls like in the US or here. The best place to start is the Zeil, Goethe Strasse (if you love labels) and Fressgasse, basically between “Konstabler Wache” and “Alte Oper”.
If you looking for Lederhosen or stuff like that your about 500KM to far north.
You get Birkenstocks cheaper in Kaufhof, Hertie or Karstat. Sure you get them in Orthopeden but they will charge you a bit more (last time I checked).
I really get you with buying Birkenstocks, here in Melbourne you pay about 150AUD$ for a very basic pair that will cost you no more then 25 EUR.
The only official Birkenstock reseller (found on the official website http://www.birkenstock.de/birkenstock/index_e1280.html ) is the following:
Hepp Ihr Birkenstock Spezialist
Berlinerstr. 20
60311 Frankfurt

Idk.
Birkenstock shoes you can find in good shoes stores. Like the one in Frankfurt big store (Goertz) if you at down town Frankfurt there is so many shoe stores you see that, if you get there. Also look at the kaufhaus (Kaufhof) they selling stuff like that too. Also Birkenstock has own website, you can shop on line too. http://www.birkenstock.de they also accept credit cards. But I’m sure you find something in Frankfurt, what you looking for. Have fun in that city, I was living there more than 24 years.
Don’t go there !
There are so many shoe brands on the market .
Why birken…what ever ?
Italian shoes are the best baby !!
