@patmenziesshoes: First released in 1976, the BIRKENSTOCK Boston took the brand's iconic contoured cork footbed and wrapped it in a closed-toe clog. Practical, comfortable, and a little bit quirky, it was never designed to follow trends - which is probably why it's outlasted so many of them. Nearly 50 years on, the Boston remains a go-to for effortless comfort and timeless style. The beauty of the Boston? It just works.
