7 Ways to Wear Birkenstock

With a rich heritage stretching back over 225 years, Birkenstock re-emerged as a fashion must-have in the summer of 2014 after appearing in Céline’s SS13 collection. While they might have originally been designed to give exceptional comfort, Birkenstock sandals have since been spotted on the catwalks for shows by the likes of Prada and Marc Jacobs as well as on the feet of fashion influencers including Chloë Sevigny, Billie Piper and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Birkenstocks are also a favourite among bloggers, providing an artistic, edgy aesthetic for men, women and children. AllSole caught up with some of our favourite fashion bloggers for inspiration on how to style and wear your Birkenstocks this season.
