Aug 29 (Reuters) - Birkenstock ( BIRK ) missed

expectations for third-quarter revenue on Thursday as customers

held back from spending on pricey footwear, such as the German

sandal maker's cork-based shoes, amid still-high costs of

living.

The company reported quarterly revenue of 564.8 million

euros ($626.1 million), compared with analysts' estimates of

565.2 million euros, according to LSEG data.
