When it comes to comfortable footwear, Birkenstock reigns supreme - it's Arizona sandals and Boston clogs have become a smash hit since 2020. Everyone from Kendall Jenner, Sarah Jessica Parker, Zoë Kravitz and Kaia Gerber have been seen in the loafer-slipper hybrid shoes, which have consistently sold out over the past year.
The cosy Bostons were originally launched at the end of the 1970s as an all-weather alternative to the Arizona sandals, which continue to be worn by everyone from Gigi Hadid to Tracee Ellis Ross to, well, all of us. While they've remained a steady seller for Birkenstock, their popularity with A-listers (Sienna Miller also loves them) has made them hot property, particularly in 2024.
I'd suggest you don't deliberate over which colour you want for too long – these shoes are selling incredibly quickly, so you don't want to miss out on your size.
Also Birkenstock has slashed the prices of its best-sellers - offering up to 30% off on some of the best Birkenstock shoes. Not only that, but a range of retailers have slashed Birkenstock prices, meaning you can either buy into the comfiest shoes of all time if you haven't yet, or simply add to your collection while prices are low.

Sometimes a cork bottom isn't the most practical, especially in the summer months when you find yourself getting in and out the pool. Instead, this pair of Boston Clogs features a slightly different lining - weather proof synthetic.
