Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You don’t need us to tell you that Birkenstock shoes are everywhere. It’s hard not to scroll through Instagram without seeing the brand’s fluffy Arizona sandals (£130, Birkenstock.com) or its Boston clogs (£120, Birkenstock.com).
The brand experienced somewhat of a renaissance in 2020 when comfort was, rightly so, given priority, but its popularity is showing no sign of waning. Particularly considering its latest collaboration with Manolo Blahnik, which we’ve been seriously eyeing up.
Owing to the craftsmanship, these sandals don’t come cheap. But if you’re looking to recreate the Boston clogs look for less, we’ve spotted a pair of suede mules on sale at M&S for a pocket-friendly £35, which is a whopping 70 per cent cheaper than the German brand’s pair.
The shoes in question feature the traditional buckle and a similar-looking cork coloured footbed that looks as though it’ll provide good arch support.
If you’re looking to recreate the Instagram look for less, read on for everything there is to know about the Birkenstock Boston clog dupes.

With clogs everywhere on Instagram, if you’re looking for a new spring/summer tread, this is it. These feature a strikingly similar look to the Birkenstock Bostons, with a cork outer and buckle, at a fraction of the cost. According to the retailer, the footbed has been designed for maximum comfort and they’ve been finished with a stain-resistant coating.
With spring very nearly on the horizon, these would make a great everyday shoe, paired with jeans and a hoodie, or your favourite pair of joggers. We’ll certainly be adding these to our basket ASAP, and recommend you do so too.
