Emma Watson Knows Birkenstocks are a Chic Alt to Flip-Flops

I don’t know about you, but as the days warm up, I’ve found myself increasingly unsure of what shoes to slip into. Living in the city, I don’t always love stepping out in something open-toed, but with temperatures rising and summer’s humidity creeping in, my go-to sneakers are starting to feel stuffy. If I could bear open-toed shoes, flip-flops would be the obvious solution (they’re casual, breezy, and easy to wear), but as much as I appreciate their effortlessness, they’re just not a staple I reach for for my commute and other daily endeavours. Emma Watson, however, has just reminded me of the classic closed-toe alternative that’s even more comfortable than flip-flops.

While stepping out in Paris, Watson completed her jeans and barn jacket look with a light brown pair of Birkenstock Boston clogs.

Though they’re hardly newcomers, Birkenstock Boston shoes have been a heavyweight player in fashion people’s wardrobes for years. The ergonomic cork soles, slip-on design, and gently rounded toes all create a relaxed silhouette that makes styling so easy.
