After Weeks of Searching, I've Finally Found Birkenstock Bostons In Stock

Not even fashion people can resist the lure of a comfortable shoe, which might help explain the industry’s latest footwear obsession: Birkenstock Boston clogs. Yes, you read that right—clogs, and from none other than the original “dad sandal” brand, which is known for its humble contoured summer shoes. Would you believe me if I said every fashion person I know either owns or is scrambling to find a pair of these slip-on shoes right now? Because it’s true.

My dream outfit. 

When you think about it, though, it makes sense. In recent years, fashion has revelled in reclaiming “ugly” items and making them covetable—think track-soled boots and fisherman sandals—and Birkenstocks have played a huge part in that. They may not be “glamorous,” but over time, the brand’s simple sandals have become summer capsule classics in the most stylish wardrobes. Now, Birkenstock is stocked on luxury websites like Net-a-Porter and MATCHESFASHION.COM and collaborates with brands like Manolo Blahnik— unexpected but oh-so brilliant.

Historically, the Arizona double strap sandals have been the iconic choice, but this summer, the fashion set has embraced another comfort-first Birk style: The Boston. It’s a slip-on, backless mule with a rounded toe and a buckle fastening that first launched in 1977, so you know it’s already stood the test of time. Even I’ll admit I was less than convinced when I saw early adopters like Lucy Williams and Monikh sporting this style last summer. But here I am, wearing my now very-much-beloved pair while I sit typing this. I’ve been won over by so many influencers wearing them with cool outfits (keep scrolling for more of those), and by how gosh-darn comfortable they are.

White denim + grey socks + taupe clogs = a dream combination. 

It turns out that these simple shoes perfectly capture the low-key, laid-back mood everyone is embracing this season—think major “coastal grandmother” vibes. I love that all you need to add to them is a ribbed vest and a good pair of jeans for the perfect summer 2023 look, which is exactly how I’ve been wearing mine pretty much every day since I got them. But they also go with dresses, wide-leg trousers, shorts and skirts, and I can imagine them coming into their own during the great British summertime—on staycations, beach days, countryside wanderings or for running errands to the local farmers market.

Keep scrolling to shop the shoes, and see some styling inspiration too. 

The most popular of all the Bostons is this suede light brown pair. These look particularly good with denim and white. 

The white pair are perfect for pairing with summer dresses.

For something super sleek, opt for the all-black pair.

I’d wear these with a relaxed white suit for an easy yet stylish warm-weather ‘fit.

Literally just throw on and go!

This new pink colourway is so fun.

Comfy, cool and easy to style with just about any other wardrobe staple, Bostons well and truly deserve their icon status.

Add cashmere socks and loungewear for a cosy weekend look.

The two-strap Arizonas are such classics.

This is a new style for the brand and we’re obsessed. We think they’d look particularly good with a linen short and shirt set.

The Arizonas in white are my most worn summer shoe.

This chunkier look is right on trend.

You can’t go wrong with this suede beige pair. 

I wear mine with tailored trousers (and everything else). 

Proof they go with wide-leg trousers as well as jeans. 

The perfect slip-on style to pull together a warm-weather outfit.  

Monikh says to wear them with dresses, too!

I love the idea of wearing them on the beach during British summertime. 

I’ve been wearing this outfit on repeat. 

Just so easy.
