Located on Coronado Island since 1991, Island Birkenstock is a shoe store that sells shoes for comfort, not fashion. Specializing in Birkenstock footwear, the location also carries brands like Simple, Crocs, OluKai and Merrell. All the employees at Island Birkenstock have been trained to properly fit feet for specialty shoes and soles. The store representatives are happy to order custom shoes, but no returns are allowed on special orders. Island Birkenstock is one of the chain's five San Diego locations.
