There’s a reason the Boston has become a fall staple. It gives you the comfort Birkenstock is known for, but the suede and closed-toe clog silhouette make it incredibly easy to wear once the weather starts changing.
After years of selling Birkenstocks, this is one of the styles I’d confidently recommend season after season. Wear it with jeans, cords, relaxed trousers or leggings — socks optional once it actually gets cold.
WHY I LOVE THEM
Soft suede is perfect for fall
Soft Footbed adds extra cushioning
Closed-toe clog gives you more coverage than an Arizona
Easy to slip on and actually wear every day
Works with everything from denim to leggings
A Birkenstock style that has proven it has staying power
DEAR LUCY EDIT
The Boston isn’t exactly a secret anymore — but sometimes the popular shoe really is that good.
Having sold Birkenstocks for years, this is one of the pairs I think earns its place in a fall wardrobe. It’s comfortable, practical and incredibly easy to style. If you’re buying your first Boston, I’d skip the novelty color and start with a versatile suede neutral you’ll wear constantly.
