Summer is upon us and during this time of year, many of us (myself included) live in sandals. I have gone through many sandal phases over the years from flip-flops, to slides, and now to the double buckle sandal. I’ve never been a fan of Birkenstocks, but over the past couple of years, this style sandal has been on my radar. This is mainly due to my love of the Louis Vuitton Bom Dia slide, which has been on my wishlist for years, but I can’t bring myself to purchase. This summer, these Birkenstock-like sandals are all over the place and I have purchased quite a few to carry me through! Keep reading to see which ones I’ve picked up and others that have caught my eye!
The Ones I’ve Purchased
Let’s start with the most basic pair that I have. These are the traditional Birkenstock Arizona Softbed Sandals. These are all leather and have white buckles, which I prefer over the silver buckles that the normal white Arizonas have. I love that these are so casual that I can throw them on with any pair of jeans, shorts, or casual dress. They are also very comfortable. If you are interested in these, beware that they have a very similar style that has a vegan leather upper. The ones I have are full genuine leather so they cost a bit more, but I felt like it was worth it.
These were the first pair of actual Birkenstocks that I picked up. I like them because the leather is shiny with a black leather interior and a big buckle. These details make them a little more “fancy” and more my style. These even look a little dressy when paired with wide leg trousers. They tend to look like more of a slide as opposed to a Birkenstock.
These were the first sandals (besides the LV Bom Dias) of this type to catch my eye. I love the aged look of the leather and hardware. I also love that the buckles are reminiscent of bamboo earrings. These tend to look a little more elevated and work well with outfits that are casual, but cute! This color goes with so many things, but other colors are available too.
Anthropologie Double Buckle Sandals
These are definitely the dressiest of the bunch and I absolutely love them. They are genuine leather and feel glorious. Everything about them is luxe. Of course they can be worn casually, but this metallic gold can easily be dressed up. These would be perfect for a resort vacation because they are super comfy and casual, but you could also wear them to dinner with a maxi dress.
