Our Favorite Birkenstocks this Year

post-title

Hailed from the cobblestone streets of Germany, Birkenstocks are world-famous for their unique chunky look and wildly comfortable footbed. These sandals have become an icon from the runway to city streets as people wear them to the beach, to work, and everywhere in between. Besides their beloved ‘weird-cool’ look, they’re also durable, high-quality, and supportive.

Arizona Oiled Leather Sandals - Unisex

For years, the Birkenstock Arizona has been one of the most popular Birk sandals around the world. The classic two-strap design is perfect for work or more relaxed settings where you just want a convenient slip-on sandal. The Arizona is hallmarked by the classy double strap that never goes out of style, a moisture-wicking cork-latex footbed, and a shock-absorbing EVA sole to keep you on your feet for longer.  The Arizona (Birko-Flor; Leather) has added toe room for extra comfort and balance and a contoured footbed that offers fantastic arch support.

Mayari Oiled Leather Sandals - Women's

The Mayari (Leather; Birko-Flor) stylishly wraps around the foot in a single toe loop. The oiled leather version is super comfortable once it conforms to your foot. On the other hand, the Birko-Flor option has a leather-like texture that’s easy to clean with a damp cloth. There’s dependable arch support as with any Birkenstocks, a deep heel cup, and a suede lining for added comfort.

Arizona EVA Sandals - Men's

If you’re looking for the classic Birkenstock style but want something more wearable, you’ll love the Birkenstock EVA. The entire shoe is made of EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate), a rubber-like material that’s soft, flexible, and lightweight. Customers rave about the EVA since it’s waterproof and looks great even in wet weather. 

You can still count on the arch support you get with regular Birks, just at a fraction of the cost. Another great part about the EVA Birks is they don't hold odours, which is perfect if you like to slip off your shoes when in a plane or the car. There’s also incredible versatility - you can wear them as house slippers, out for a walk, to work, to the beach, or anywhere!

Boston Soft Footbed Oiled Leather Mules - Unisex

You can spot the sophisticated, individual clog design of Boston Birkenstocks from a mile away. The closed-toe style can be worn through all four seasons and is better for those who prefer to hide their toes. The soft footbed version has an additional foam layer that pampers your feet so you can wear them all day long. If you prefer a stiffer sole, the regular footbed Boston has the usual anatomical footbed that conforms to your feet with each wear.

Madrid EVA Sandals [Narrow] - Women's

With a chic single strap design, the Madrid EVA is perfect for wearing by the pool or to the beach. They’re waterproof and easy to wash off, plus they have reliable Birkenstock durability. The buckle is adjustable to find the perfect fit, and the EVA material is high-quality, very light, and with cushioning.

Gizeh Birko-Flor Sandals - Unisex

The thong-style Gizeh is perfect for casual wear or more formal attire. The versatile design and colours mean you can wear them with any outfit in spring, summer, or fall. The specially developed toe post fits gently between the toes, while the classic cork footbed offers support. Some other convenient features include an adjustable metal pin buckle and leather lining that nestles against the footbed. 

Yara Birkibuc Sandals - Women's

The Yara is a heelless sandal featuring an ankle strap for added feminine flair. Both straps have adjustable metal buckles so you can tighten them to your liking. There is also a toe loop and an ankle strap to provide additional stability. If you want dressier Birkenstocks, you'll love the oiled nubuck leather, complete with an open selvedge finish. While they may look different from traditional Birkenstocks, the legendary cork sole still provides support, which is ideal for anyone who suffers from sore feet.
