Where to shop Barbie's Birkenstocks and why they're the shoe of the summer
Now that the long-awaited Barbie movie is in cinemas, we can finally get a full look at the most maximalist, pink wardrobe the world has ever seen.
While in Barbieland not a day goes by without dolls donning skyscraper heels, here in the real world, comfort is key, and we can't be without a trusty pair of sandals for summer.
Luckily, when Barbie, played by Margot Robbie, steps into the world of us mere mortals in the new film, she thinks the same and opts for (spoiler alert!) a trusty pair of Birkenstocks.

Not just any Birkenstocks but a baby pink pair with adjustable straps, silver hardware and supportive soles. We'd even go as a far to say they're the perfect summer shoe.
Costing £80, they can be all yours to shop now, whether you want to embrace your inner Barbie or simply want a comfortable pair of shoes.
Here's why we love them and what the reviews say.
Why we rate them
Birkenstocks almost need no introduction, thanks to their cult status as comfortable sandals that can be worn with almost anything.
This pair in particular have the same supportive footbed with deep molding in the heel area to provide enough comfort to allow you to wear them for hours on end, alongside interior and exterior arch support.
I've owned a classic black pair for years and can attest to their comfort. Once it's warm enough and summer starts approaching, they become the only pair of shoes I wear, whether I'm on holiday or walking around London.
Better yet, Barbie's pair are 100% vegan, despite having a matte, brushed finish that's reminiscent of nubuck leather and are available in sizes three to eight.
What the reviews say
It's no surprise that they come highly rated by satisfied shoppers at Office. Here's what some had to say:
"Lovely pair of sandals! I recently purchased these Birkenstock Arizona sandals and I am glad that I did. They look very similar to the pictures - the subtle pink and brown sole compliment each other nicely. I would definitely recommend these shoes to others - they are comfortable and look the part too!"
"Really wanted some cute and comfortable summer shoes that would go with dresses and shorts. Never had a pair that could handle a lot of walking and didn't give blisters until I tried these Birkenstocks. The pink is such a cute colour too and will go with everything."
"Nice fit and lovely colour. Its very supportive and my first pair however they're great so far and perfect for on holiday and in the summer!"
"Super comfortable from day one. I had heard that Birkenstocks needed breaking in and i was prepared for that but these were like slippers straight away. So comfortable and great to finally have a vegan option."
"Can’t beat Birkenstock! My fourth pair of Birkenstock Arizona, as always great comfort and quality, delighted customer."
