Welcome to my guide to shopping the best Birkenstock dupes online, from Arizona replicas to Boston Clog alternatives. News flash: Birkenstock's are cool - they're not just relegated to sock-wearing Dads. So much so, that the former Saturdays singer and Loose Women host, Frankie Bridge, may have just inspired us with her chic Birkenstock clog dupes.

Continuing on the Birkenstock dupe hunt, I've scoured the internet to find the very best Birkenstock dupes, so that you can look effortlessly cool for less. While there is an abundance of Chloe sandal dupes and Chanel sandal dupes, a pair of Birkenstock-style sandals are the fuss-free, chic sandals we all need in our lives.

Closer's pick of the best Birkenstock dupes, at a glance

Sharing a fashion reel to her 1.5 million followers, Frankie revealed her go-to uniform for the school run, which included off-white tracksuit bottoms, an olive bomber jacket and a cap (all from New Look), but the star of the show was her cosy yet ridiculously chic footwear choice.

Especially as they are a brilliant copy of the ubiquitous Birkenstock slip-on and are retailing for less than a quarter of the price, please enter the EGO Snug-Soda Buckle Detail Slip-On Flat Mules, £8 that are unfortunately now sold out too (boo).

One fan commented, "Love your shoes😍 link please?" whilst another added, "I mean. I wish I looked this good on the school run 🙌😂"

Birkenstocks are well and truly the best sandals and pretty much go with everything. As Frankie proves, they're great for pairing with loungewear, but also look cute with midi dresses and your favourite denim jeans.

As the original Birkenstock Boston Clogs, £130, and the Birkenstock Arizona Sandals, £80, are a little pricey, we've scoured the internet to find the very best dupes the British high street has to offer, including our favourite M&S sandals this upcoming season. From classic tan colourways to patterned, colourful options, here are my top picks of the best Birkenstock dupes on the internet.

Birkenstock dupe FAQs

What are the best Birkenstock knockoffs?

In terms of value, we'd say the Fur Lined Closed Toe Clogs, £13.20 from Boohoo are the best Birkenstock 'knockoffs'. Almost identical to the originals (minus the price tag), these clogs from the high street brand are almost exact in terms of colour and design. However, these clogs also have a bonus. Yep, they're also fur-lined to keep you cosy in winter.

Are dupe Birkenstocks good?

While you might never replicate Birkenstock originals in terms of quality (after all, they're £130 for a reason), you will get a pretty spot-on dupe in terms of how they look. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the dupes from the originals because they're that good.
If you want a pair to last, then we'd recommend buying the Birkenstock Boston Clogs, £130. However, if you're just looking for a low-maintenance, affordable pair to knock around in, a pair of dupe Birkenstocks might just be the way to go.

Why are my new Birkenstocks hurting my feet?

According to Birkenstock, it can take time for your foot to adjust to the contours of the footbed and for the cork to mould. Birkenstocks come with a sturdy cork base which means they can take some time to break in. We suggest wearing them around the house for a few hours at a time to get used to them.

Are Birkenstock dupes as comfortable as the real thing?

While original Birkenstocks are lined with high-quality suede that moulds to your foot, Birkenstock dupes will differently be created with a similar style lining, but they may not have the same moulding effect. However, many reviews of the Birkenstock dupes confirm they're just as comfortable.

Are Birkenstock dupes waterproof?

While most of the original Birkenstock designs are made of water-friendly materials, Birkenstock advise that all its shoes should not be submerged in water, apart from its waterproof line of shoes the Birkenstock Eva. These particular shoes are made from a high-quality synthetic material called Eva, which is a comfortable foam material that is washable and waterproof. We've found dupes of the Birkenstock Eva from Joules, for just £18.
