With roots dating back to 1774, it’s safe to say that Birkenstock’s legacy is unparalleled - from the first contoured insole with flexible arch support, to the iconic Boston clog. Emerging in the 1960s, Karl Birkenstock’s design aimed to provide the same comfort and support as traditional “Birks”, with enhanced protection for the foot. And so, the Birkenstock Boston was born. Hitting shelves in 1976, it quickly gained popularity thanks to its balance of fashion and functionality, offering an infinite number of uses.
The legacy of this versatile icon continues to this day, favoured from celebrities to campuses across the world. So much so that a number of brands have collaborated to put their own spin on the Birkenstock Boston - Concepts and Stüssy being just two amongst them.Sported by the likes of Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley and Robert Pattinson, its notable fan base is unforgettable.
Available in a wide variety of colourways and materials, the original Birkenstock Boston is an obvious no-brainer, but there’s plenty more to take your fancy too. Lightweight, flexible, odour-neutral, shock-absorbent, waterproof… the Boston EVA is foolproof for any fan. Looking for something cosier? The Birkenstock Boston Fur is as comfort-centric as they come, with a luxurious shearling lining covering the moulded footbed to create the perfect design duo.
So if versatility’s on the agenda for you this season, then you’re in the right place for sure. Shop Birkenstock Boston for both men and women now, here at END.
