Birkenstocks are Hot — But How?

Barbie can even make these sandals cool
Topics

This month, Google searches for Birkenstock sandals went up by 300 per cent. Birkenstocks are all the rage.

Wait, but how? When I wore Birkenstocks 20 years ago, they were super daggy. I scared away people, especially if I wore them with socks and cargo shorts.

But they're all the rage because Margot Robbie wears them in the movie Barbie. It's as simple as that.
