Podiatrists Want You to Stop Wearing Flimsy Sandals ASAP—They Approve of Birkenstocks, Which Are Up to 50% Off

From $33.

I’ve always been a sneaker person through and through. For a while, they were the only shoes I could walk all day in and feel comfortable. But, in high school, I couldn’t ignore the popularity of Birkenstocks—cute, effortless and comfortable. Every friend of mine who got their hands on a pair raved about them. I begged my mom for them, and the second I put them on my feet, I  was sold.

There’s a reason Birkenstocks are podiatrist-recommended. Their insoles mold to fit the foot in all the right places, and the straps are durable and secure, so your foot stays in place. They come in what seems like a million different materials, styles and colors. The only downside is their price. They’re undoubtedly expensive for a sandal, and I don’t often see them on sale. That’s why I was shocked to find heaps of pairs for less at Zappos and Birkenstock—up to 50% off. Below, I gathered some of the most popular styles you can get for less. Their specific material is included in their name, but you’ll want to click around for the styles and colors that might suit you best.

My first pair of Birkenstocks was the Arizona, and I’ve always loved just how comfortable the two upper straps and molded footbed were—with those features combined, I could walk forever without feeling strain. This pair has two oversized buckles for an added design element. They’re on sale in four soft colors, perfect for the warmer weather.

Arizona Essentials in EVA

These are the perfect beach shoes. My sister wears a butter yellow pair that I always get a little jealous of.
