Sorry, but I just have to assume you own a pair of Birkenstock sandals—or have at one point in your life. But if you never have, let this be your sign to invest in a pair. Need me to convince you? The brand has roots in the German countryside, where it first began as a family-owned shoemaker's workshop in the 18th century. Two centuries later, the original Birkenstock footbed sandal was created, and thanks to its comfort-first approach, it's still going strong today. Birkenstock shoes' balance of practicality and style has given the brand 21st-century icon status. Not to mention, its shoes are incredibly versatile. Whether you're styling them for the beach, a day of errands, or even a first date, they always add charm. The best part? Birkenstock shoes last forever and only get more comfortable with wear.
With spring here and summer approaching, you simply need a pair. My recommendation? Start with the Arizona sandal—it's a classic for a reason. For those looking to venture out, the Boston clog is another fan favorite, and you can wear it during spring, summer, and fall. I won't give it all away here—keep scrolling to shop my curated edit of Birkenstock shoes.
