Why the Birkenstock Boston is so popular

A closed toe and heel keep your feet covered, while the adjustable strap lets you tighten or loosen the fit. The deep heel cup and cushioned footbed make it a comfortable shoe for errands, work days and weekends.

Suede, nubuck and leather finishes give it a lived-in softness that looks good with jeans, dresses and wool socks.

Wearing your Boston through the seasons
