Yes, it’s true, Birkenstocks are BACK…but in many different ways. Gone are the days of this 70’s style slide sandal being only for hippies! Straight from the Spring/Summer 2014 runways, this shoe is all about comfort and utility, and is being worn by the fashion-savvy crowd along with the wedge and classic t-strap sandal this summer. In fact, it’s becoming such a hot shoe with the California fashion crowd that they are calling them “pool slides” and not Birkenstocks at all. In fact, the Birkenstock brand is not the only one taking part in this revived trend, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs and Loeffler Randall are among the many to give it their own twist. Even the sportiest of sandals like Adidas, Tevas and Chacos are enjoying a revival, also becoming a shoe to wear around town.
Keep reading to see some of our favorite styles and the best way to wear them…

How to Wear the “Sporty Sandal”
Go sporty chic! A baseball cap, track pants, and fabrics like leather keep these sandals sporty like intended.
Or…go feminine! A great dress or skirt and very feminine accessories will give this shoe a more girly twist.
Whatever look you are going for, there are styles and prints to suit…just don’t forget, ladies, to finish with a colorful summer pedicure!
Have a great weekend!
