Which Birkenstock Style is Right For You?
Trends come and go, but some things are meant to last a lifetime. It’s time to get on board the Birkenstock train and discover the benefits of happy, healthy feet without sacrificing your style. If you’re ready to take the plunge into the world of Birks, we have you covered.
The key to their unparalleled comfort lies in the unique footbed that molds to your feet – every pair of well-worn Birkenstocks is personalized to that wearer’s foot. Birkenstocks take around two or three weeks to really start to form to your feet, and we recommend wearing them with socks (don’t worry, we won’t judge you) as you break them in.

If you’re looking for something classic and timeless, the Arizona is the way to go. It’s the classic two-strap that’s a favorite of…well, pretty much everyone in America (remember its highly important appearance in the Barbie movie?).
If you’re more interested in a closed-toe option, try out the Boston. This effortless clog is all the rage right now for everything from the farmer’s market to a night out. The classic taupe is the most popular, but the Boston comes in plenty of fun and different colors.
If you’re in the market for something a bit more visually intriguing, the Kyoto is perfect for you. This slip-on style is gaining traction around the globe right now, with its bandage-style wrap and bold, athletic design.
Looking for a more dressy, upscale option? The Mayari is a feminine sandal with a fun toe loop that makes it perfect for days spent wandering the city or nights spent hitting the dance floor. These are also up-and-coming, so get yours before they’re impossible to find!
Want to throw it back to the original? Believe it or not, the Madrid was actually the first sandal from Birkenstock. It’s a favorite style in Europe for its sleek, single-strap look. We prefer the Big Buckle for a more secure fit, but you can’t really go wrong either way.
If you’re heading on a vacation or simply looking for a simple sandal to relax in, the Gizeh thong sandal is the right choice. These sandals bring that legendary comfort and elegant detailing to a more laid-back design.
