InStep the Birkenstock Store

Specialties

InStep is your go-​to expert for new shoes, professional insoles and corrective footwear.

At InStep we believe that you should enjoy buying shoes that will make you feel good and will be correctly fitted for your foot. We’re 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. InStep even has two Board Certified Pedorthist’s on staff, available for consultation and prescription needs. With our knowledgeable, friendly, well-​trained staff who have broad experience wearing the shoes we sell, InStep is trustworthy and well informed.

We sell the best footwear for your feet and your body and our Custom Footcare Services department can make custom orthotics or modify footwear and orthotics to meet your needs. Most of our shoes don’t look like the shoes you see everywhere else– They look better! They look better because that are gently shaped to mimic the shape of a healthy foot, the attention to detail, and because they are designed to accommodate your prescription orthotic and your foot at the same time.

Choose from traditional Birkenstocks, clogs, boots, wedges and sandals in brands such as Naot, Fit Flops, Vionic, or Dansko to name a few. With lots of non-​traditional styles to choose from, we’ll have something to suite your taste.

History

Established in 1993.

In the beginning… we started in 1993 offering only Birkenstock sandals, Birkenstock insoles and Birkenstock repairs.

We grew a little, along with Austin… over the years we added to our selection of insoles and orthotics, began hand crafting our own insoles and orthotics and filling doctor’s prescriptions for footwear and insoles. We 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.

What can you expect from InStep? Knowledgeable, friendly, well-​trained staff who have broad experience wearing the shoes we sell. We have a Certified Pedorthist on staff, available for consultation and prescription needs.

Meet the Business Owner

Laura M.

Business Owner

Owner, Laura, has always had a love for Birkenstocks. After experiencing the problem of not being able to find a store that sold her favorite shoe, she realized such a business could help others.

Focusing on good health starting with quality shoes Laura has expanded past the Birkenstock to many other brands that offer various styles and looks so people could wear comfortable, yet fashionable shoes.

Today, Laura hopes you will have a positive experience at InStep and will find the shoes to change your life.
