I went digging through Zappos for the Birkenstocks I'd actually want to wear, from the classics to colorful versions and a few styles that are a little less expected. If you're looking for Birkenstocks, this is where I'd start.
This is a good one for anyone who likes the look of a clog but wants something a little more streamlined than the classic Boston. The Lutry 365 has a suede upper, open sides and an adjustable buckle, with the recognizable Birkenstock footbed undernea...
Birkenstock Lutry 365 Clog - Suede Women's
The Boston gets a little more personality here. Those metal rivets give the familiar clog a tougher, slightly rock-and-roll edge without messing with the very recognizable Boston shape. It's still an easy slip-on, but this is the pair I'd choose when...
Birkenstock Boston Clog Rivets Women's
Now this is a different Birkenstock. The Fanny takes the familiar clog idea and puts it on a wedge, with a suede upper that keeps the look relaxed rather than dressy. It's a good option when you want the comfort-minded Birkenstock aesthetic but still...
Birkenstock Fanny Wedge Clog - Suede Women's
The Boston gets a little chunkier here, with a substantial platform sole that gives the classic clog more presence and a bit of height. You still get the familiar suede upper, adjustable buckle and contoured footbed, but the deeper tread and chunky s...
Birkenstock Boston Chunky Platform Clog Women's
Okay, this is basically the Arizona sandal that decided winter shouldn't mean giving up your Birkenstocks. Soft suede, adjustable buckles and a real shearling-lined footbed make these warm and ridiculously cozy, while the contoured footbed keeps the ...
This is one of the more interesting Birkenstocks if the usual two-strap look isn't doing it for you. The Oita has a slimmer, more feminine shape inspired by the Kyoto, with a soft suede upper, a wide adjustable strap and two little decorative rivets....
Birkenstock Oita - Suede Women's
Now we're getting somewhere. The Arizona gets a much more colorful personality with an all-over floral print on soft suede, while the familiar two adjustable straps keep the whole thing unmistakably Birkenstock. It's a fun way to wear a classic witho...
Birkenstock Arizona Flower Print - Suede Women's
This is the Gizeh in its most naturally worn-in-looking form. The oiled leather has that rich, slightly rugged finish that develops even more character with time, while the simple thong shape keeps it classic. Add the contoured cork footbed and adjus...
Birkenstock Gizeh Oiled Leather Women's
The Madrid gets a serious upgrade with that oversized buckle. It's still a wonderfully simple one-strap sandal, but the big metal hardware makes it feel much more like a fashion shoe than basic summer footwear. The oiled leather adds a little richnes...
Birkenstock Madrid Big Buckle - Oiled Leather Women's
The Granada is a nice change from Birkenstock's usual two-strap formula. Instead, you get a wide, wraparound design with crisscrossing nubuck leather straps that give it a more substantial, almost woven look. It still has the classic contoured footbe...
Birkenstock Granada - Nubuck Leather Women's
This one looks more like a proper sandal than the usual Birkenstock lineup. The Sylt has a soft suede upper with multiple adjustable straps that wrap around the foot, giving it a more secure, substantial feel while still keeping that relaxed Birkenst...
Birkenstock Sylt - Suede Women's
This is the Oita with a little something going on underneath. The soft suede upper and double hook-and-loop straps keep the silhouette clean and minimal, but the printed footbed adds a peek of pattern that makes these more fun than the usual Birkenst...
Birkenstock Oita Printed Footbed Women's
Now this is a Birkenstock with a little more drama. The Florida Platform has three adjustable straps and a chunky platform sole, while the printed finish gives the whole thing a much more playful look than the usual Birkenstock lineup. You get the fa...

Pink, oversized buckles and an Arizona silhouette that somehow manages to look completely different in this version. The lightweight EVA construction makes these waterproof and easy to rinse off, while the big shiny buckles give the classic two-strap...
Birkenstock Arizona Big Buckle EVA Women's
A rugged, outdoor-minded take on the Birkenstock slide, with a waterproof contoured footbed, adjustable buckle straps, and a grippy PU outsole. It has a sportier, more utilitarian look than the classic Arizona, which is exactly what makes it interest...
Birkenstock Mogami Terra Slide
A sleeker, more modern take on the Birkenstock sandal, with soft suede, an envelope-style upper, and adjustable hook-and-loop straps. The streamlined shape makes this one feel a little more unexpected than the classic Arizona, while the contoured cor...
Birkenstock Kyoto - Suede (Unisex)
The classic Gizeh gets a little more attitude with metallic rivets across the soft suede upper. A contoured cork-latex footbed keeps the familiar Birkenstock feel, while the studded detailing makes these feel more distinctive than the standard Gizeh.
