Birkenstock dupes

I can’t justify eleventy hundred pounds on Birkenstocks - which are the next best cheap alternative? Either the two strap ones or the Milano, with the strap round the back too.

Thank you!

I got an olive green suede effect pair that are great from M&S a month ago. They also had black. I was also recommended Moshulu which are a UK brand.

The Marks & Spencers ones are lovely and very comfy, I've bought 2 pairs over the last few years.

The M&S ones look good.

And the Moshulu range is beautiful 😍

I didn’t know about Offcuts - nothing currently in my size….

I remember when a leather pair were £55! And that was during lockdown anyway

I did get a pair of leather Milano last year and they are worth it I got 15% off with a new customer discount. I feel they will
lsst a good 5 years.

i think branded shoes are one of the better investments.

(although my post is almost identical to this I though it was my post!)

I came to say marks and Spencer’s too. They are about £20 and I can’t see or feel the difference to birks.

I brought my first pair 2 years ago and they haven't lasted as well as I thought they would , they look a bit tatty now but so comfy

I've had a couple of pairs from Sanosan, a Spanish brand. They were only about £20-30 each I think, but last at least a couple of years. In fact, the current pair are lasting for an irritatingly long time, because they are the toe post Giza knock off kind that have suddenly become uncool, but I feel I have to wear them out before I get another pair!

I bought some in Fat Face last year and actually found thek more comfortable than Birks

tralalal · 26/05/2025 10:10

The M&S ones are great. Mosulu are no where near as comfortable

TonTonMacoute · 26/05/2025 10:42

I bought some lovely yellow Moshulu two strap ones and they are quite good, the general fit and soles are fine, but the straps do catch my little toes which does make them less comfortable than Birkies

Have a look in TKMaxx. Various Spanish and other brands in styles similar to Birks. Leather and under £20 so great value.

Snap🙂 I got a brown Autenti pair just last week. BioStep are good too and also White Mountain, which I think is an American brand.
