For over a quarter century, the Montague family has made The Birkenstock Store of Alexandria's a good source for European-style comfort shoes. Inside the family-owned business, dachshunds Winston and Snickers keep a watchful eye on the merchandise.
The shop relocated from its original King Street site to Union Street, and the business has grown to include five stores and an active mail-order catalogue. The commitment to dealing with each customer on a case-by-case basis ensures the right shoe and fit remains.
Birkenstock sandals continue to be the flagship brand, but Dansko, Footprints, Think and Naot shoes also are available. In addition, Montague and Son: The Birkenstock Store carries Profi-Birka, making it a popular choice for chefs and business professionals.
