Post-pandemic fashion has brought us to a place that most of us never expected (and so many of us were secretly hoping to land): A space where casual is more casual than ever, and casual and cozy elements happily coexist — especially when it comes to the day’s footwear options.
That said, it’s practically kismet that the Birkenstock Boston clog has become one of the most coveted shoes as of late. Originally introduced in the late 1970s with its classic silhouette and comfortable cork footbed, the Boston’s resurgence (in a variety of affordable material and color choices for every ‘fit and vibe) quickly led to limited availability and critical acclaim — even landing on last fall’s GQ Recommends All-Stars list. Simply put, the Boston is a versatile, top-tier addition to any shoe collection.
Whether paired with wide-leg cargos, your favorite denim, or laid-back loungewear, this cozy-casual favorite has proven staying power.
