How to wear Birkenstocks in the fall: 4 best looks

Birkenstocks have come a long way since their humble beginnings as garden-only footwear. The German shoe brand, once solely associated with vacationing parents or pruning grandmothers, has, unironically, become a wardrobe staple among street style stars.

Last spring/summer, we witnessed the advent of the brand’s “Arizona” mules, which became a practical (and podiatrist-approved) shoe for the fashion-obsessed (much to the joy of our vacationing parents and pruning grandmothers).

Another Birkenstock shoe is stepping up to the spotlight this fall: the “Boston” clog. Sharing the same comfortable utility as the “Arizona” mule, the “Boston” style is a very much appreciated alternative for fall/winter fashion, as your toes remain hidden.
