Anyone who knows me knows that I absolutely love Birkenstocks. They are the undisputed queens of summer footwear, in my view, but during this brutal June heatwave, they’ve transitioned from a style choice to a literal survival tool. While everyone else is nursing blisters from suffocating trainers or cheap flip flops, I have survived the soaring temperatures entirely thanks to my trusty classics, the one-strap Birkenstock Madrids. They are light, breezy, and keep my feet cool when the pavement is quite literally melting beneath my feet.
If you’re looking to expand your Birkenstock collection or thinking of investing in your very first pair – and yes, Birkenstocks are definitely worth it – then right now is actually the best time to buy.
