Meghan Markle was spotted wearing a pair of Birkenstock rubber clogs in her Netflix show, and we’ve found where you can shop the gardening-perfect shoes for 20% off
Birkenstock’s Boston Clogs have cemented themselves as a fashion staple, loved by major celebrities from Kendall Jenner to Katie Holmes and Gigi Hadid. Although controversial to many, we think these stylish clogs are the perfect everyday springtime shoes.
However, the cork sole and suede upper can be slightly impractical, especially if you’re running errands. That’s where the functional Super Birki’s come in, and Meghan Markle is a fan.
When watching Meghan’s new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, we spotted that she was wearing a pair of Birkenstock rubberised Super Birkis (the 2.0 version) when feeding her chickens. And we think Meghan has made a case for these shoes being the ultimate pair of practical gardening clogs—sorry, Crocs!
The cork brown shade Meghan appears to be wearing is unfortunately sold out in most sizes. However, we’ve found that you can shop them in black, green, and blue on Amazon. The green and blue are priced at £59.95, while the black are actually on offer in most sizes for £52.87, down from £65.99.

Meghan isn’t the only one who’s a fan of these functional clogs. The shoes have over 3,000 glowing reviews from shoppers. One shopper wrote, “Brilliant quality that fits perfectly. They’re the perfect colour for my use in the garden.”
And a second added: “Sturdy, comfortable, protective piece of footwear for any weather. You won’t win a prize in a fashion show or at a dance evening wearing these slippers! But they are good for your feet; functional rather than fashionable”.

These practical clogs feature anti-slip soles that provide excellent grip on wet floors. They also have a comfortable raised back and are made from polyurethane to withstand regular use.
Protective against any weather; sturdy and well-made; perfect for use in the garden; and great value for money
Odd sizing; and have a stiff, solid feel that can be uncomfortable for some
It’s worth noting that quite a few shoppers found the sizing difficult, with their normal size being too big and the size down being too small. One customer wrote: “The sizing is odd. I ordered according to the chart, and they were huge, the next size down is too small ..toes hit up against the front of the shoes.”
These look like the perfect chuck-on-and-go clogs for gardening and other practical tasks around the house.
If you’re not convinced by any of the colourways of the Super Birki Clogs, Crocs are always a good idea, and the spring-ready lilac pair are currently on sale at Schuh for £35 down from £50.
