They’re likely to sell out.
When I got back from vacation last weekend (marking the end of my summer), I decided it was time to retire my flip-flops for the year. But doing so left a giant hole in my wardrobe—without my sandals, I don’t really have an easy, ready-to-go-in-a-second shoe. So I started looking for a replacement, only to re-discover that the brand behind every celebrity’s favorite summer shoe makes the perfect fall-ready slide.
I was shocked that I had forgotten about Birkenstock’s Boston Clogs, which are so popular that, for the last few years, they have been almost always sold out. The slip-on shoes are a go-to for pretty much every Hollywood cool girl, including Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, and Zoë Kravitz, likely because they’re comfortable, convenient, and, yes, cute.
While the style has been notoriously hard to get your hands on, I found a number of the viral clogs in stock *and* on rare sale at Gilt—all you need is an email address to create an account and access the deals.
Birkenstock Boston Suede Clog
Orig. $160 $147 at Gilt.com
In case you aren’t familiar with Gilt, it features premium brands—like Ugg and Birkenstock—as well as luxury designers for way (way) less. The catch? Stock is usually pretty limited and things sell out fast (so don’t wait to grab your size). Birkenstock’s Boston Clog is one of the latest styles to be added to the retailer’s sale, with nine colors of the slide starting at $130.

Made with a soft suede and leather upper, the Boston Clogs have an easy slip-on design and a buckle that allows you to adjust the snugness of the shoe—it also happens to look quite chic. And like Birkenstock’s famous Arizona sandals, this clog is made with a cushioned cork footbed that’s designed to shape to your foot. “The arch support is excellent, and the soft footbed makes me want to wear these shoes every day,” wrote a fan of the shoes at Zappos, while another said that the clogs offer major pain relief for their plantar fasciitis.

While the most popular version of the Boston Clog is the classic suede style, you can snag other bold styles—like shearling-lined pairs!—from Gilt’s Birkenstock sale before it ends.
