Oct 2 (Reuters) - Premium footwear maker Birkenstock
said on Monday it was seeking a valuation of roughly $10 billion
in its U.S. initial public offering (IPO) as it joins a rush of
other companies that are going public after two quiet years.
    This comes at a time when persistent inflation has squeezed
budgets and hit sales of footwear makers including Allbirds
 BIRD.O  and On Holding  ONON.N , which have struggled to live
up to the hype around their listings.
