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.
For Black Friday, Birkenstock has slashed the prices of its best-sellers for members - offering up to 30% off on some of the best Birkenstock shoes on the site. 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.
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 in the sale, so you don't want to miss out on your size.
What date is Black Friday?
Black Friday (the shopping event that's known to spark frenzied excitement amongst deal hunters worldwide), lands on Friday 29 November. Traditionally the event takes place the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday has now turned into somewhat of a global phenomenon and a sale period, rather than just a day. Birkenstock's Black Friday sales will typically include discounts on popular styles like the Arizona and Boston clogs.
Does Birkenstock Participate In Black Friday?
Right now, Birkenstock is offering members up to 30% off some of its best-selling styles including the Boston clogs - just sign up on Birkenstock.co.uk. If last year's sales are any indication, the deals won't last too long, starting from 22 November and stretching through Black Friday, all the way until Cyber Monday (which this year lands on Monday 2 December).
How do I find the best Birkenstock Black Friday deals?
Finding the best Birkenstock Black Friday deals doesn't have to be a case of scrolling for hours on end and constantly refreshing the Birkenstock website. In fact, a good place to start is exactly where you already are - right here. This page will be updated throughout the sale period with the best Birkenstock deals from now until the December 2.
Fashion commerce writer, Gemma Lavers also shares her tips as somewhat of a Black Friday novice. 'From my experience and previous year's sales, it's not just about Black Friday itself as tons of retailers kick off discounts from as early as mid-November. So it's definitely worth taking a sneaky look early on. Another good tip of mine when shopping for Birkenstock's is to know where else the shoes are stocked. I'm talking ASOS, Schuh, Office, Very, Urban Outfitters... the list goes on. These big stockists might have better deals on Birkenstocks than Birkenstock itself - so always check these too.'

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.
