How Birkenstock became the cult travel shoe
Briefly

The Birkenstock Boston, originally named the 'Kork-Clog,' was designed in the mid-1970s with comfort in mind, featuring an arch-supporting tread and a wider toe shape. Its Brutalism-inspired design resonated with the bohemians of the time and mid-century minimalists, making it a must-have among those seeking both practicality and aesthetics in footwear.
Birkenstocks have become synonymous with the mindful movement, even appearing in pop culture as seen in Margo Robbie's Barbie, symbolizing a progressive mindset towards wellness and comfort. The shoe's genderless design aligns with modern inclusivity, making it appealing to a broad demographic seeking comfort and minimalism.
