BirkenstockGrainau Ankle Lena Heritage Boot

For Oktoberfest Highsnobiety, our contemporary take on Germany’s biggest cultural festival, we curated a selection of the latest from German footwear pioneer Birkenstock, long a favorite among festival-goers, all with an elevated heritage feel. This pair of ankle boots marks Birkenstock’s expansion into a new era of holistic, German-inspired footwear beyond its familiar silhouettes. Crafted from naturally tanned semi-vegetable Italian leather and inspired by traditional mountain and hunting attire, the boots are produced in collaboration with a Munich-based artisanal shoemaker, blending ancestral craftsmanship with modern functionality and durability.
