Kendall Jenner’s Birkenstock Clogs Are So Comfortable, Editorial Report

As a writer living in New York City, I wear so many shoes that I’m considered the Carrie Bradshaw of my friends. Another similarity? i never once I thought I was going to wear a pair of Birkenstocks—until I did.

Although I did not choose monogrammed Gucci shoes like Carrie Just like that…I was inspired to try the brand’s faded purple Boston Soft Footbed Clog, which I bought from Urban Outfitters. How could I resist when everyone including Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, Jennifer Garner and Zoë Kravitz endorsed it? Not to mention, it’s the trending style of the season, appearing on bestseller lists and no one is paying attention.

So why is it so hard for me to admit that I want a pair? because they are Very Different from my usual choice of heels and flats. The silhouette is chunky, with a rounded toe, adjustable buckles and a grippy base. But I know I should never judge a shoe by its upper, because the comfortable, contoured footbed makes it all worth it.

Thanks to their plush and supportive insoles, I confidently wore these shoes all over New York City without breaking them. In fact, they’re so comfortable that I wear them all the time. I even planned a trip to upstate New York with the gear because I didn’t want to go a day without them.

They’re also super stylish and pair perfectly with all kinds of cozy fall fashion. I like to wear it with an oversized sweater, straight-leg jeans, and baggy socks. However, it looks equally good paired with a long-sleeved sweater dress. Are you okay? Depending on your shoe style, you can wear them indoors or out; they’re basically fancy slippers that can be worn beyond the living room.
