Oct 25, 2014 12:07 AM EDT | By Staff Reporter

Flip Flop Shops introduces the Birkenstock to its wide selection of casual footwear.

Leading global retailer of casual footwear, Flip Flop Shops announces the new line of classic and iconic Birkenstock sandals and slides to be available at select Flip Flop Shops locations across the country.

Flip Flop Shops delivers authentic and the latest styles of casual footwear and flip flops from the world's leading brands that initiated a once seasonal niche industry to a year-round trend.

"Birkenstock distribution is monitored very closely and having the right partners is paramount," said David Kahan, Chief Executive Officer for Birkenstock USA.

 "Flip Flop Shops is committed to putting sandals in the spotlight 365-days a year, and that integrates well with our primary offering. Birkenstock is an iconic footwear brand, anchored by our sandals, so it's natural for us to be in a shop singularly dedicated to that category. Flip Flop Shops shares many of the same brand values we do when it comes to health, wellness and a laid back lifestyle, and we are happy to be available for their shoppers who seek the same," Kahan added.

Birkenstock will be offering the T-strap Gizeh, two-strap Arizona slide, the Granada sandal and the Mayari sandal in selected Flip Flop Shops locations across the country, starting January 2015, while an extended selection will be released starting spring 2015 which will include the classic styles together with Birkenstock's new colourful EVA line.

"We are incredibly honored to now carry Birkenstock," commented Brian Curin, the President of Flip Flop Shops.

"This is one of the most storied footwear brands, and we know they are very conscientious about their distribution decisions. It speaks volumes for Flip Flop Shops as a trusted category expert to join their elite list of retail partners," Curin added.

The global retail chain, Flip Flop Shops boast of over 100 locations, a majority of which are located in the United States. International locations include Canada, Africa and the Caribbean, the Middle East, with the company continuing to focus on global expansion as it champions its "Free Your Toes®" message.
