Birkenstocks in Munich

I'm going to make an assumption. Clothes and shoes are usually much more expensive in Europe, so yes, Birkenstocks are probably cheaper in the US.

There is an outlet store someplace here in Germany that all the Americans go to, but I am not sure where it is. Check on line. Usually though, yes, they will cost more due to the fact that there is a 19% sales tax on everything. If you spend enough money though, you can get that VAT back.

Here, you can compare rates for Birks in Germany:

There is a shoe mail order house with a shop in Munich (where you can pick the shoes up) that carries Birkenstocks. Their website is in English and is www.fusaro.de

My sister bought some birks at a place across from the train station in Munich. I can't remember the name of the place but you can see the signs on the window.

Here is a website listing all the factory outlets where they are selling birkenstocks. It is in German, but you can see the addresses at least and see if any are near where you are going.
