Julia Roberts just revived this forgotten Birkenstock style – we'd pick it over Arizona sandals and Boston clogs every time

Julia Roberts shows off her unique summer style sporting Birkenstock sandals in NYC 11/08/2026.

Much like UGGs in winter, Birkenstocks are a summertime staple. For the last couple of years, the double-strap Arizona sandals and the much-loved Boston clogs have been absolutely everywhere, but Julia Roberts just drew my attention to another of the brand's contenders for most comfortable sandals.

As soon as I saw her Birkenstock Gizeh sandals, I immediately felt nostalgic. I'd completely forgotten that these were the very first Birkenstocks I owned! They're like an elevated take on traditional flip-flops, featuring a toe post design and that instantly recognisable cork footbed. This minimalist sandal is highly rated for its comfort, and they offer a great deal more support than regular flip-flops. Plus, they don't make that flip-flop noise when you walk - bonus!
