We’ve been a fan of Birkenstock sandals here at SPY for ages now. From their classic two-strap “Jesus”-looking sandal design to their more oddball one-offs like the $780 Hancock Rotterhick Rick Owens space boot, we’ve always appreciated the brand for their ability to consistently make comfortable, casual and fashionable footwear.
Because the brand initially gained popularity due to their now-legendary sandal style, they’re traditionally a summer go-to footwear option for keeping cool and staying comfy, even though they do have some stellar winter options. Additionally, Birks are known specifically for having the most comfortable footbed a pair of sandals has to offer, hence the higher price point compared to your average pair of sandals. This can leave some people seeking out Birkenstock alternatives, which exist all over the internet at online retailers like Amazon, Target and ASOS.
While the style is generally easy to copy, the comfort, on the other hand, is not so easily imitated. Birkenstock is absolutely aware of this sandal war going on, but they consistently win out over the competition. Though, for the summer of 2020, they have quite the bargain for customers looking to get that classic Birkenstock style and comfort for budget prices.
Birkenstock’s EVA Sandal is one of our favorite shoes of the summer. It’s a bright-colored two-strap sandal made for standing out from the crowd. Hyped up as the sandal of the season, Birkenstock has done it again by creating the ultimate summer sandals. And get this: they only cost $45.
