Perhaps your closet is already filled to the brim with sandals and you're looking for a shoe with a bit more coverage. If that's the case, we recommend investing in this pair of Birkenstock clogs. The supportive shoes are designed with balance in mind, and are made from a natural cork and latex material that's equally cushioned yet still durable. Plus, they're a favorite among celebrities, too; actress Brooklyn Decker told POPSUGAR that these clogs were one of her must have products, and even called them the "most comfortable shoe."

If you love a designer collaboration, this is the shoe for you. This Birkenstock sandal was created with the internet's favorite designer label Staud, and we love the croc-embossed leather straps that make the slip-on sandals look so elevated and elegant. Pair them with a white dress for an elevated evening look, or with high-waisted jeans and a T-shirt for a more casual daytime ensemble.

They're comfortable and affordable, plus they come in so many fun colors including seasonal shades like Barbiecore pink, blue, neon green, and more.

Birkenstock Gizeh Big Buckle Flip Flop ($160)

If you're someone who prefers a flip flop to a slide sandal, this Birkenstock flip flop is the one for you. Not only are the shoes incredibly comfortable thanks to the style's cushioned footbed, but they're also slightly dressier with the larger buckle and gold hardware details that are scattered throughout.

Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle Sandals ($140)

For a pair of sandals that are equally elevated and comfortable, go for this cute style which features a one-strap design versus Birkenstock's traditional two-strap silhouette. The cork footbed will mold to your feet, making them supremely comfortable. And with their breezy, slip-on design, these shoes are ideal for those long travel days when you need something easy to take on and off while navigating through security.

Best Platform Birkenstock Sandals

Birkenstock Arizona Platform Vegan Sandals ($110)

If you love classic Birkenstocks but want a little lift, these platform shoes are your perfect match. The high-rise sandals have an extra inch platform that will give you a little more height and help to elongate the look of your legs; but don't worry, you won't be wobbly. They also come in a variety of colors, so you can stock up on the shoe in multiple shades — though we're partial to the black because it's just so versatile.
