Birkenstock prepares for the Fall/Winter 2021 season with a new series of teddy sandals that are soft to the touch. The casual silhouettes are lined with shearling details across the upper for a cozy feel during the colder months. There are three styles offered this season the Arizona shoe, the Boston, and the Daytona.
The uppers and the insoles are lined with fuzzy materials and it all sits on top of a platform EVA outsole unit foundation to add some height to the silhouette. The Boston clog also joins the roster, paired with a big buckle and sitting on top of a chunky sole unit. All three shoes are made with Papoillio footbeds for a cushioned feel.
