This year, I decided to end the cycle for good by finding the best Birkenstock Boston dupes around.
I also asked SELF editors to help me test a few promising pairs.
Make some room in your closet: Were going shopping.
The ones weve tested and loved made it to our list of top picks.
Luckily, I like the socks and clogs lookit adds to the cozy vibe Im going for.
(Spoiler: I was right.)
Worth noting: I agree with reviewers that they run small.
But we wont blame you if you want to keep them asindoor shoesto wear like slippers.
Theyre so, SO comfortable, our tester says.
But as I wear these into fall and winter, I dont think this will be a big issue.
The buckle is surprisingly high-quality too.
one SELF editor says.
But their rubber bottom makes them durable, for hitting the pavement.
FYI: Theyre not ideal for power walking, she explains.
One SELF editor is currently putting these through their paces.
One caveat: I wish the back edge of the heel was higher.
Still, she plans to continue slipping these on to run errands or meet up with friends.
Our tester has the faux leather pair, which has a slightly more polished vibe.
And theyre much more wallet-friendly compared to theleather Birkenstock Bostons.
All of the options below have rave reviews, and they might just be your new everyday shoe.
One Amazon shopper called these the best Birk dupe out there.
Another wrote, theyre sturdy and my go-to for almost all occasions.
Whenever I have to run out the door, I know my trusty Fakenstocks are there for me.
These are by far some of my comfiest shoes to wear.
Another reviewer echoed how great they feel: They form to your foot, just like the real deal.
Im a year into owning these shoes and I SWEAR by them, one Target reviewer wrote.
Im about to buy two more pairs for the upcoming fall season.
They are so comfy and long lasting.
