Birkenstock Boston clogs have been around for years but are still as popular as ever thanks to their laid-back, comfy style. They can be worn with pretty much anything, slipped on and off, with fans saying they keep them as a sturdy house slipper or wear out and about with slouchy socks. If you love the look but hate the price tag, we've found a very similar pair on the high street that are a fraction of the cost.
