This season everyone is talking about the 90's revival - bomber jackets, florals, thick soled shoes and so on - and with it has come the "ugly sandal" which is actually cool, got it?! We are talking Birkenstock's or Birkenstock inspired flat, chunky, comfortable sandals.
The resurgence began back in 2013 when Phoebe Philo catapulted them back into the spotlight when she sent models down the runway in fur-lined versions at Celine’s spring 2013 show. It took a while, but since then models, celebrities and shoppers alike have realised that comfortable is actually fashionable (just in this case!).

Birkenstock's began in 1774 in Germany and have been known as the comfortable, 'sensible' choice in sandals for years. "Birkenstock are designed for the natural form of the foot to allow freedom of movement and all-round support. The Birkenstock footbed distributes the weight of the body evenly for comfort and well being, making Birkenstocks the healthy choice." www.birkenstock.co.uk
