The Best Birkenstock Dupes that Look & Feel Like the Real Deal

One of our favorite '90s-era trends, this closed-toe wonder is having a resurgence with the rise of trending clog shoes in general. The Boston is a cozy, transitional style that's perfect for those fall and winter weeks before the boots need to come out.

After kicking around in a few styles, we picked the Quince Water Repellent Suede Clog Mule as our Birkenstock Boston dupe for its incredible comfort and durability. In our opinion, there's virtually no difference between this Birkenstock clogs dupe and the real thing aside from the fact that these comfy fakes are about half the price. Quince's pair even uses the same shape and high-quality materials, like real leather and natural cork. The leather comes from an eco-minded tannery, and they even have a men’s version of the shoe.

Having worn actual Boston clogs before, we did note that Quince's Suede Clog Mule runs slightly larger with no option for half sizes. Between the amazing feel and fit and four neutral colors that go with everything, we give these clogs our seal of approval.

Fashion editors keep calling the Buckley the “it clog” of Fall—and honestly, they’re not wrong. It takes everything we love about the Boston (that cozy, easy-on comfort) and adds a bit more structure—more heel coverage, more polish, and a little moccasin charm thanks to that front seam and oversized buckle. The only catch? The price. At over $150, it’s not exactly impulse-buy territory.

Enter the White Mountain Bueno Clog—the dupe that actually delivers. It nails all the details that make the Buckley so good: the visible hand-stitched seam, the chunky adjustable buckle (not just for show), and that cork-and-contour combo sole that keeps your feet happy all day. The genuine leather or suede uppers give it that heritage feel, and the 1.5" wedge gives just the right lift. 

Reviewers love how comfortable and authentic they look—though a quick tip: they run a bit roomy, so size down if you’re between sizes. You can find them at most major retails like DSW—perfect when Buckleys are sold out again.

The Naples is Birkenstock's answer for anyone who wants clog comfort with a dressier edge. Instead of the open backstrap most clogs have, the Naples is partially enclosed, with penny-loafer styling and a moccasin-style stitched seam across the toe that gives it a polished, slightly masculine look. It runs $160 and up and pairs an EVA midsole with a genuine rubber outsole for grip. If this price feels a little steep, our pick for a Naples dupe knocks nearly $100 off.

The White Mountain Brinlee Clog picks up on that same loafer-esque vibe, right down to the stitched penny-keeper spot, but takes a more casual approach to the silhouette. Where the Naples had a rubber sole, the Brinlee has a contoured cork-look footbed, but both are open-back mules you can slide your foot in and out of, with a leather or suede upper. If you love a platform Birkenstock dupe, it’s worth noting that the Brinlee has a 1.5” heel, so you get a little extra height with this pair.

The Tokio is one of Birkenstock's most practical clogs, built with a deep heel cup and an adjustable backstrap secured by a metal pin buckle so it stays put through a long shift on your feet. The suede or nubuck upper sits on a cork-latex footbed and a lightweight EVA sole, and it typically runs around $150.

The CUSHIONAIRE Brooklyn Genuine Suede Clog borrows the same backstrap idea, with an adjustable buckle that turns it into a slingback for extra security. The big difference is underfoot: instead of Birkenstock's cork-latex, Brooklyn uses a memory foam insole that molds to your foot, and it comes in wide widths, which the Tokio doesn't emphasize. Between the suede upper and the buckle detail, it reads almost identical to the Tokio on the shelf, but about a third the price.

Birkenstock's Lutry is another versatile clog thanks to a convertible strap that flips down for a relaxed slip-on feel or stays up as a secure backstrap, essentially giving you two shoes in one. It has a suede or nubuck upper, a cork-latex footbed, and a rubber-cork outsole, and it sells for around $150+.

The CUSHIONAIRE Women's Boulder Genuine Suede Clog nails that same two-ways-to-wear concept with its own swivel strap that switches between a backless slip-on and a secured back-strap fit. It swaps Birkenstock's cork-latex footbed for a memory foam insole and a lightweight EVA sole, and the metal buckle for velcro to secure the strap. It's a fairly close match for the Lutry's convertible styling, but is missing the side seam that adds some personality to the original Birkenstock style and the footbed is not fully covered in the suede material.

The most recognizable and widely loved Birkenstock style, the Arizona features two wide straps, adjustable buckles, and a signature contoured footbed. Since launching in 1973, many consider it one of the best slide sandals ever. However, TikTok fashion hounds who don't want to pay $100+ for a pair have cracked the code with hauls of dupes under $35.

With 4,300+ 5-star reviews on Cushionaire, the CUSHIONAIRE Lane Cork Footbed Sandals for Women offer a comfortable fit right out of the box. Reviewers who've trekked around in them share that they hold up beautifully.

We consider this shoe the best Birkenstock Arizona dupe for anyone with a complicated shoe size because it comes in wide width and half sizes. You can also choose from 13 colors that are popular among today's trending buckle sandals.

We couldn't turn down an opportunity to try out a Birkenstock sandals dupe with a toe loop. Perfect for casual summer outfits or vacation wardrobes when you want a little extra foot security, the real Mayari sandal is beloved for its open design and strappy crisscross toe loop. After seeing that the CUSHIONAIRE Women's Luna Cork Footbed Sandal With +Comfort had 4.5 out of 5 stars at Walmart, we knew we had to try these knockoff Birkenstocks. While most Walmart reviewers praise the cute style, great price, and good heel support, we found it impressive that someone from a podiatry office in the review section shared that this is the type of sandal they recommend to patients in real life.

One of our favorite features we’ve noticed on these (and reviewers note the same) is the contoured footbeds and adjustable straps that make keeping these shoes on your feet easy without lifting your heels as you walk. With genuine suede, half sizes, wide widths, and more than 20 color options, the Luna dupe is top pick. Our runner up, White Mountain's Gracie, is another real leather option for when the Luna sells out.

If you're like a lot of younger fashion followers, you may have only learned that Birkenstock does a single-strap sandal variation of the Arizona called the Madrid, that’s inspired a variety of cute dupes. There are a few standouts for this one, but we’re partial to Cushionaire’s Leeds sandal. Like the true Madrid, these faux Birkenstock sandals are sleek, minimalist single-strap slides that are perfect for everyday wear.

Our personal impression of the Cushionaire dupe is that we can barely tell the difference. We love that the substantial-feeling molded cork beds create a very stable, custom fit while still remaining very lightweight. The upper is made of real leather, and they come in both regular and wide widths, so finding your perfect fit is easy with these.

Many regard the Gizeh as one of the only thong-style sandals out there that doesn't torture your big toe's webbing. The Gizeh is a sleek, iconic style that converts to casual wear, beach days, or lightly formal summer looks. They rank among our best sandals for wide feet that look dainty under a sundress.

We found an incredible Birkenstock sandals dupe available in 12+ earthy colors. The Leah Cork Footbed Thong Sandal has gone viral with 600+ 5-star reviews on Cushionaire. The Leah features a fully cushioned and contoured leather insole, super-soft vegan upper, flexible cork bottom with premium traction, and adjustable straps that all make for happy trekking. This dupe also comes in wide widths and uses sizing similar to Birkenstocks.

"I have Birks and these are every bit as comfortable," shares Lauren Yates (verified reviewer). Alternatively, some reviews note that the size runs slightly small, so consider sizing up if you’re between sizes.

We had to wrap up our list of the best Birkenstock dupes with a splashy, playful, and sporty option, perfect for pool days, beach trips, or everyday errands. While most people think of Birkenstock’s textured sandals first, the brand also offers waterproof EVA slides made with ethylene vinyl acetate for a lightweight, flexible fit packed with cushioning and footbed support.

We ran to fill our cart after finding out that Target sells a $10 EVA dupe in a few bold colors (check out that red). The Women's Neida EVA Two Band Footbed Slide Sandals offer the same protected footbed and lightweight design as the original. Among Target shoppers who've bought them, 81% say they recommend them. They also have 4.5 out of 5 stars on the Target website based on nearly 8,000 reviews.

"I have walked over 20k steps in these, day after day, all over the world, and while my friends had blisters with their name-brand shoes, my feet were astoundingly comfortable," shares a Target reviewer named Ellie. 

Our advice is to size down if you're between sizes because these slides run a little large. Consider snagging a few different colors with this Target promo code. 

Amazon has become the go-to destination for Birkenstock-inspired sandals that deliver serious comfort without the premium price tag. We've tracked down the best Amazon alternatives for each of these iconic Birkenstock styles, so you can get that signature look no matter which silhouette speaks to you.

For Arizona Sandal Lovers 

The ODOLY Women's Cork Footbed Sandals nail the classic two-strap look with adjustable buckles and a contoured footbed that Amazon shoppers say provides "impressive arch support and surprisingly comfortable fit straight out of the box." But we couldn’t pick just one lookalike for these Birkenstock staples. The Project Cloud Comfortable Essentials Santorini offers a slightly more streamlined take that's perfect for those who want the Arizona vibe with a modern twist.

For Mayari Sandal Fans

FITORY's Sandals with Footbed Comfort Support bring that beloved toe-loop design to Amazon shoppers who consistently praise their "soft sole" and "great arch support." Reviewers love that these feel "just like the real thing" while delivering impressive durability for daily wear.

For Boston Clog Enthusiasts 

The Litfun Genuine Footbed Leather Comfort clogs capture that cozy closed-toe aesthetic with premium materials that Amazon buyers say rival much more expensive alternatives. These have become a favorite among shoppers looking for transitional footwear that works from summer into fall.
