In the 1970s BIRKENSTOCK set about creating a cork clog. Rather than being heavy or rigid – like many of the wooden styles at the time – the ‘Boston’ was lightweight and flexible. It hit shelves in 1976. Available in numerous colors and materials, this minimalist closed-toe model became another go-to style for indoors and outdoors, work and leisure. BIRKENSTOCK’s signature functionality and quality combined with fashion-forward styles – including more recent shearling and Big Buckle versions – has attracted a loyal following of Boston fans. Notable wearers include Whoopi Goldberg, Sienna Miller, Keira Knightley, Robert Pattinson, Kanye West, and Jason Momoa.
