As I highlighted recently, I honestly never thought I’d lean into the double-strap-sandal trend so much. In the sandal realm, pool slides reigned supreme in my eyes. That said, after spotting a few of my favorite style setters going all-in on the Birkenstock look, in particular, I started warming up to the idea. Yep, so much so that I just purchased the $45 Birkenstock Arizona sandals.
While there is a range of Birks out there, I liked this specific style best because the price point was just right. Plus, they’re comfy and classic yet modern, and I think they bring a cool twist to a look. In fact, I particularly like pairing my Nike crew socks with them for a fresh vibe. They’re now a permanent fixture in my summer shoe rotation.
What do you think? Are you into the Birkenstocks? If so, or if you’re interested in trying them like I was, keep scrolling to check out how fashion people and I are wearing the $45 sandals now. You’ll also find more inspiration with some other two-strap-sandal silhouettes at various price points.
Voilà—here are my go-to Birkenstocks in black, complete with my favorite coordinating Nike tube socks.
