I tell everyone I know how much I love clogs for travel days. And no one has put clogs on the map quite like Birkenstock. The 250-year-old shoe brand has honed the art of the comfy slip-on shoe, and today, its slides, sandals, and clogs are synonymous with easygoing comfort and effortless style.
A brand with this kind of reputation doesn’t often discount its shoes, but I found 10 styles that you can snag before the year is out, starting at $48. Some are beloved by celebrities and frequently-on-the-go travel editors. But best of all, they’re on sale for up to 70 percent off.
Men’s London Slip OnNordstrom
This classic style of clog adds a supportive heel enclosure, so the shoe fits more snugly to your foot. With a suede exterior and Birkenstock’s signature footbed, it shares all the same comforts of the traditional Boston clog, but with more protection for the entire foot. It’s on sale in black for 20 percent off the regular price.
Unisex Uji SlideZappos
This unisex slide is marked down 30 percent. Instead of Birkenstock’s signature buckles, this style features adjustable hook and loop straps that create an even more custom fit. Crafted from Birkenstock cork and suede, it’s a sleek slide that you can wear with or without socks.
Boston Clog EVAZappos
Modeled after the signature Boston clog but made of easy-to-clean, ultra-lightweight EVA, this water-friendly shoe is flexible and has Birkenstock’s same contoured footbed you see in its cork versions. Wear these for long days on your feet, post-workout, as a pool shoe, or when you need an easy airport slip-on that makes security a breeze. The white version is now 20 percent off, but you can also get it in five other neutral tones.
Papillio by Birkenstock Gizeh Platform SandalZappos
This dusty pink platform sandal is currently on sale, and begging for a trip to Palm Beach or the Caribbean. The buckle closure allows you to adjust the shoe to your preferred fit, and a cork and latex midsole is durable and long-lasting. Grab these ahead of your warm-weather trip while they’re 39 percent off.
Arizona Big Buckle SlideNordstrom
Birkenstock’s classic Arizona sandal is a whopping 50 percent off, and in a gorgeous Sedona-like red-orange color, no less. The smooth leather outsole and eye-catching gold buckles make this a fun statement shoe. But, with the foot-molding footbed, you’ll probably want to wear these every day.
Papillio by Birkenstock Ebba Wedge Bootie6 pm
Boots may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Birkenstock, but it’s no surprise the brand can make an impressive wedge shoe. Using its knowledge of comfy cork footbeds, Birkenstock transforms its classic sole into a heeled platform boot, with a rocking shape to support a natural stride. With a sleek silhouette and an ankle-huggling interior zip, these boots would look great with any pair of jeans or trousers.
Men’s Arizona SlidesBloomingdale's
These versatile slides are currently on sale in a light green suede. Wear them with linen trousers for an upcoming spring trip to the coast. Or, slip on a pair of cozy wool socks and wear them for your winter walks — after all, who doesn’t love the classic ‘stocks and socks look?
Arizona Genuine Shearling SandalNordstrom Rack
Birkenstock’s iconic footbed is made even comfier with the addition of skin-soft lambswool. These warm, shearling-lined slides are double discounted in lavender purple and olive green, bringing the price down to $53 for a limited time. The brand isn’t making this style anymore, so get them now because they won’t be available for long.

A nude walking sandal is a highly versatile shoe to pack in a travel capsule wardrobe — and this one is 21 percent off right now. This canvas and suede shoe goes with any outfit: You can easily style it up or for a night out, or dress it down for an all-day walking excursion. I could see these traveling well to desert locales, or all over the walking streets of Rome or Amsterdam.
