This probably isn't the first time you've heard the following three words this season: Viral Birkenstock clogs (shop in Canada here, in the U.S. here). Influencers and Nordstrom shoppers alike have been raving about the suede take on a Danish footwear classic.

An unlikely trend for 2022, this clog resurgence has historical roots. Dating back to the thirteenth century, clogs were the staple shoe for factory workers, farmers and fishermen. Today, they're the go-to look for for the off-duty fashion circuit. While they aren't a shoe you'll necessarily see in more formal settings, this Birkenstock trend is popular for anyone committing to a casual cool look this fall.

We also can't ignore that the past two yeas have seen many people opt for comfort over style. While a resurgence in dressing up was expected, the Birkenstock clog trend has proven that a lot of us aren't quite ready to give up our slippers and comfy shoes just yet.

The cold-weather answer to the summer-trendy clog

While I was one of the lucky few to snag a pair of the Birkenstock Boston Clog in suede taupe, I've since set my sights on the shearling iteration for cooler-weather days. This shearling-lined clog has the same Birkenstock Boston silhouette in classic suede. The shearling interior gives extra cushioning and moisture-wicking comfort while the natural cork-and-latex footbed beneath contours in the shape of a healthy foot for proper weight distribution.

I can attest to the maximum comfort and slipper-like effect of the suede Birkenstocks with the level of arch support recommended by every podiatrist. Perfect for walking the dog, running errands or dressing up with a pair of jeans and a blouse, these easy-to-wear shoes have become a fast favourite.

But I'm not the only Birkenstock clog enthusiast out there. Nordstrom shoppers also can't get enough of this cozy fall staple.

"Cozy, cute and now Birks are high fashion so I'm happy! The shearling is super warm, I've worn mine without socks in cold weather and my feet are still warm. I recommend wearing them around the house and deciding for yourself what works best. I still have room for socks in my pair because the foot bed conforms... try 'em out if you live in a cold climate and want a cozy slip on shoe that's also en vogue," shares one reviewer.

"Absolutely love the Birkenstock Boston! Especially loving the shearling lined version this season. No need to be scared of them. Pair with some slouchy boyfriend jeans and a cute tee, and you have the perfect hang out/brunch/casual Friday look. They are so comfortable you will not regret buying!" says another.

'Size up for ultimate comfort'

With a 4.5 star rating, the only flag from Birkenstock fans is you should size up due to the narrow fit and structured footbed of these clogs.

"I ordered these in both the 8-8.5 and 9-9.5. I ended up keeping the 9-9.5. Because of the molded footbed, you'll know right away which size is too small on you, and while the shearling might squish down over time, the shoe and footbed won't actually get any larger. If you're in-between sizes, I would suggest getting the slightly larger option," suggests one shopper.

"I normally wear a size 36 in Birkenstock shoes but I sized up to a 37 in these and it was a perfect fit. I was a little concerned that these clogs would not fit because they were the narrow width, so I was surprised to find that they actually fit my feet comfortably," shares another.

If you're looking to add the Birkenstock Boston Shearling-lined Clog to your fall footwear rotation, add them to your cart soon — sizes are already selling out.

Amazon is selling Birkenstock Boston clog store dupes for just over £30

Embodying the “ugly” shoe trend, Birkenstock’s Boston clogs aren’t going anywhere this autumn.

Owing to their laid-back look and slipper-like design, the clogs were a cult hit during the pandemic, when loungewear became the new daywear and comfort was top priority. An off-duty staple of runway models, influencers and the style set, the shoe brand ascended to further fashion heights following a recent collaboration with none other than shoe designer Manolo Blahnik.

However, due to their craftsmanship, they aren’t the most pocket-friendly purchase. Even if you did decide to splurge, the slip-on style is also now sold out in many sizes, thanks to its new fashion status.

Riffing off the success of Birkenstock’s Bostons, dupes have emerged on the high street, from M&S to TK Maxx. And the latest affordable alternative to catch our eye is courtesy of Dr Brinkmann on Amazon.

Costing just under £33, the clogs are a spitting image of the designer real-deal, which are almost £90 dearer. Here’s everything you need to know.

Characterised by the same slip-on design, buckle fastening, suede finish and cork footbed, it’s near impossible to tell the difference between Dr. Brinkmann’s clogs and the Birkenstock Bostons.

Available in UK sizes 3.5 to 17 and in a choice of black, brown or blue, the clogs are crafted from synthetic leather for a suede effect.

Costing just £32.95, they’re more than 70 per cent cheaper than Birkenstock’s Boston shoes – making them the perfect budget purchase for finishing off your ensembles this autumn and beyond. Take note from Kendall Jenner and team yours with straight-leg jeans and a tank top for an off-duty look.

While we can’t vouch for the comfort of Amazon’s affordable alternative, we have reviewed the real deal in our edit of women’s clogs. “The soft footbed and additional foam layer helps hug the foot,” our reviewer said, adding that if “laid-back comfort is a priority, the clogs live up to their hype.”

The classic suede style is available in black, mocha, taupe and mink, as well as narrow and regular sizes. “Ugly” in all the right ways, it’s safe to say they’re worth the splurge.
