These clogs are dead ringers for a Katie Holmes-beloved brand — down to $40

'Better than Birks': Shoppers say these supportive slides look just as cool and feel just as comfy as the real thing (for about $100 less)

Feeling a little granola-curious? You wouldn't be alone. Sartorial trendsetters from Reece Witherspoon to Kendall Jenner to Katie Holmes and more are ditching their stilettos in favor of comfy slides and clogs. And their favorite pick for fall? Birkenstock Boston clogs. While we're right there with them and coveting their casual, "stealth wealth" style, you gotta admit, starting at $145, they're a little bit pricy. Thankfully, we found a pair that some shoppers are hilariously calling "Birkenstock quality on a beer budget." They're the Cushionaire Hana Cork Footbed Clogs, and the most popular colors are now down to $40 (from $60) at Amazon.

These cozy clogs are made with 100% genuine suede insoles, premium vegan uppers and high-traction EVA outsoles.

Why is this a good deal? ??

The Cushionaire Hana Clogs are comfortable, versatile, and available in a variety of colors; plus, they're on sale now for over 30% off at $40 (down from $60) — you're also getting one sweet deal compared to similarly-styled Birkenstocks, which can go for up to $160.

Why do I need these? ??

A good clog is really the ideal shoe for that strange weather time of late summer into early fall; still lightweight and open for hotter days, but providing coverage and coziness for cooler evenings. The Hanas are made with 100% genuine suede insoles and a cork footbed for soft, yet supportive comfort. The buckle closure gives an adjustable fit, and the outsoles offer long-lasting traction (important when walking on all those fallen leaves!). Plus, you can choose from 15 different shades to best fit your style, and they're incredibly easy to dress up or down, depending on your day's agenda.

What reviewers say ??

More than 4,000 Amazon reviewers have given the Cushionaire Hana Clogs a five-star rating, with many praising the comfort factor of the shoes — and how closely they resemble that other popular clog brand.

Pros ??

"Better Than Birks. ... Dare I say these are better than the real deal?" marveled one reviewer. "They’re unbelievably comfortable, the price cannot be beat, and they’re so cute."

"My boyfriend got the real Birks and I honestly prefer these," confessed another wearer. "They look more comfortable."

A final fan called them "Super comfy and versatile," adding, "They are one of my main shoes I wear daily. They don’t crease, and they hold up wonderfully through all sorts of wear and tear with no effect. They look just like Birkenstocks too! I wanted a good Birkenstock dupe that was a neutral white and these are perfect! They are so comfy with great support and cushion for your feet."

Cons ??

"I bought these shoes because I couldn’t bring myself to buy the Birkenstock clogs for their price. These shoes are super comfortable!" said one shopper, who added as a criticism, "I will say, the 'stone' color is beautiful, but does scuff quite easily. I probably wore them every day for a good month and a half before realizing that the scuffing was just too much and they no longer looked good."

Another customer agreed that "they get scratched up rather easily," but added that "a little buffing takes it out."

4,000+ five-star reviewers adore these supportive slip-ons — some say they're 'just as, if not comfier than, real Birkenstocks.'
