Birkenstock Boston Pony Hair — Leopard

The Boston is the closed-toe clog that has spent the past few years as Birkenstock's most requested silhouette, and the pony hair version is where it stops being purely practical. The leopard print sits on a short-pile hair-on finish, which catches light differently than printed leather does — the pattern has depth to it rather than sitting flat on the surface.

Underneath, it's the same construction the brand is built on: contoured cork and latex footbed that moulds to your foot over the first few weeks, raised arch, deep heel cup, and a single adjustable buckle across the strap.

Leopard has settled into something close to a neutral over the last few seasons, and on a shoe this simple in shape it reads as texture more than statement.

Now reduced. While stock lasts.
