It makes me happy to see the Birkenstock Boston resurgence. I had a pair in high school and actually wore them quite a bit. The clog look isn’t for everyone, but neither is the Jesus sandal. It’s a personal preference.
My dear friends at Res Ipsa have created something that should not only quench the thirst but in a handsome way that only Res Ipsa can do: they created Kilim Clogs:
They are designed in the same manner as the Bostons, but with a one-of-a-kind kilim rug as an upper, and a lightweight foam sole that makes them extremely lightweight. The rubber outsole is perfect for grabbing mail or picking the kids up from school.
It’s the style that I love. I’ve been a HUGE fan of the Kilim Loafers for almost ten years, and wear them all the time. These are a great addition to the Res Ipsa lineup and will get a ton of wear this Fall/Winter/Early Spring with jeans/khakis/5-pockets. Let these be the star of your wardrobe, opting for solids and basics for pants, shirts, and sweaters. I like to wear these with socks, more for a warmth thing at the time of year these get sported.
Casual? Yes. High style? Yes.
