History
Established in 1993.
We started in a small shop on Guadalupe in 1993 offering only Birkenstock sandals, Birkenstock insoles, and Birkenstock repairs.
We have grown with Austin over the years and added to our selection of insoles and orthotics, started hand crafting our own insoles and orthotics, and began partnering with doctors to fill prescriptions for footwear and insoles. We have also greatly expanded our selection of sandals and shoes to include many comfort shoe brands.
Now we are proud to be a resource for physicians, podiatrists, and Central Texans seeking relief from foot pain, healthy footwear, and just plain comfortable shoes that fit the needs of Austin's healthy and active lifestyle.
Meet the Business Owner: Laura M.
Laura has always had a love for Birkenstocks. After experiencing the problem of not being able to find a store that sold her favorite shoes, she realized such a business could help others.
She has kept her focus over the years on quality shoes that promote happy feet and good health, and has expanded the business to include many other brands, in addition to Birkenstock, that offer various styles and looks so customers can find comfortable AND fashionable shoes.
Laura hopes that you will have a positive experience at InStep and find the shoes that will make your feet happy and change your life.
