Once solely reserved for hardcore hippies, outdoorsy types and foot-health fanatics, Birkenstocks have enjoyed a major rebrand in the past few years—and now, they're the cool girl's undisputed summer sandal of choice.

But for practicality, effortless style and price, you still can't beat the classics.
