Birkenstocks have slowly crept into the Australian man's psyche, offering not only a comfortable, sturdy, and high quality slide, but a sandal that fits their relaxed vibe. It's easy, no fuss and casual cool.
It's an investment that can last for years when looked after properly, and arguably look better with age. They have a timeless design and can suit the man who carries off the hipster style, the smart casual look, the old school feel, the relaxed beach aesthetic or a more edgy vibe.
A number of male celebrities have been seen rocking a pair of Birkenstocks to keep their feet comfortable and cool such asactor Chris Pine and Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir.
Birkenstock has been synonymous with comfort since 1774 when master shoemaker,Johann Adam Birkenstock, made his first pair. In addition to their minimalist and laid back style, many men are drawn to the brand for their functionality and durability. The signature Birkenstock footbed moulds to perfectly fit feet, providing great arch support and comfort.
If you are looking for a new pair of sandals this year, you should consider buying a pair of Birkenstocks. Here is our list of the top 5 men’s Birkenstock sandals for 2023.

Birkenstock Ramses
The Birkenstock Ramses is a great sandal for those that love the extra security of a toe piece. Like all Birkenstocks it has a rubber sole that provides great traction, but is still comfortable, supportive and matches most outfits. The sandal has more of a traditional “thong” look than other Birkenstock styles, so can be a good first pair of Birkenstocks for the discerning male.

Birkenstock’s Soft Footbed Range
For those who require or appreciate a little softness, Birkenstock a few years ago started to make selected colours and styles with a soft footbed feature. These sandals are the classic Birkenstock footbed with a layer of latex sandwiched between the cork/latex and suede lining. This can assist those who have existing pain in their feet, or who have particularly 'flat feet' and need additional softness to help adjust to the contouring of the footbed. The soft footbed styles are more expensive than traditional Birkenstocks due to the extra comfort, but if you’re after the best, this range provides second-to-none support for your feet.

Birkenstock Barbados EVA
The Barbados EVA is a great waterproof and water sport-friendly slide that is popular with men who like to get out and about on the water. EVA is a synthetic material that is lightweight, durable, shock absorbent, and is known for its ability to provide support and comfort. Marry this material with the Birkenstock contoured footbed and it's a sandal that you can wear to the beach, around the pool, camping or just in general life.
