I haven’t really worn shoes all that much since March. Sneakers to work out in and walk the dogs, my UGGs back when it was still freezing/snowing in March, and then now my Jack Rogers. It’s been a lovely break for my feet. (In fact, my right foot had been so swollen for three years while I dealt with a sesamoid issue and it’s 100% back to it’s normal size… I will never take that big toe for granted again!)
I was on the hunt for a pair of waterproof shoes I could wear up at the lake this week, but also to have for our backyard. Just something super casual and comfy that could easily be hosed off. Ashley posted about these slides– that she called “Birkencrocs” and let me tell you, I was SOLD. I bought them for comfort and honestly didn’t think I’d love how they looked… but I totally do.
They are definitely super popular right now so it can be hard to find your size in your preferred color. I ordered a few different colors so I could decide what I liked the best. I thought the pink was going to be the winner, but I ended up loving the silver so much more. I am keeping the silver and returned the others.
If you’ve been looking for a summer shoe that’s extra comfortable, get these.
WHERE TO BUY:
I’m including a bunch of places because as I’ve mentioned it can be hard to track down your size in the exact color you want. (I ended up placing orders at J. Crew, Tuckernuck, and Saks.)
SAKS (where I bought mine)
HOW DO THEY FIT:
I think they fit true to size, but if you’re in between sizes, I’d size down especially if you have a narrow foot. I am a “true 7” and ended up with the 37/38. They fit perfectly length wise and are plenty roomy width wise.

LOVE these! I have them in black. Such a great option for the beach/pool/lake. Also fun to wear while floating in the water, they give a bit of extra buoyancy. Have a great week! (Also, congratulations!!)
These are so cute!! Also, love your nail color 🙂 And, of course, HUGE CONGRATULATIONS, Carly! So happy for you!!
These are so cute – but most importantly, they look super comfortable!

These have been popular summer shoes (and rightfully so!) for years now! How are you just finding out about them? They’re the best! I’ve walked miles around LA/Hollywood/Santa Monica in them along with over 10 in one day at Disney.
I have the actual Birkenstock birkencrocs with a single strap in navy and I’ve been not really wearing Flipflops since getting them last summer! Such a great addition to my regular leather birks. Love the color of yours!
Birks are THE best! So comfortable and easy to wear. It took me a minute to get on this bandwagon too!

Wanted to point out that these aren’t Birkenstock brand, and shouldn’t actually be called “Birkencrocs.” Actual Birkencrocs will cost about the same and offer way better support.
Also, the buckles on the actual Birkenstocks are adjustable. The Freedom Moses ones have fake buckles.
I have a few pairs of these shoes and I only wear them in the summer. One pair broke after ten wears, the company refused to replace them and instead offered a discount code, which they never actually sent me. And they haven’t responded to any emails since. I would not trust this company.
