Whether you’ve dedicated fall to clogs or are just looking for something comfy to slide into as you bop around town — we’ve got the perfect pair for you. Made with a soft suede upper, cork footbed and an oversized buckle, they’re visually similar to the famous $170 Birkenstock Boston ones — only they’re currently on sale for $16, aka literally less than 1/10 of the price of the brand-name option. Even better? Per reviewers, these things run circles around Birkenstocks. People call them roomy and comfortable, with quality that’s “better than what you’d expect for a $20 pair of shoes.” You’ll probably want them in every color, so it’s a good thing they’re under $16.

These budget-friendly clogs have everything you’d expect to see in a more expensive version — a genuine leather upper, cushioned insole and textured sole that provides traction on uneven surfaces.
While they officially come in men’s sizes 6-13, they’re loved by reviewers of all genders. “This clog is everything, sooooo comfortable. I got them in a size 7,” a reviewer who typically wears a women’s size 8 wrote. “For the price and brand chefs 💋 …you can smell the leather.” In addition to slate gray, olive green, dark brown, and classic black, there’s a lighter tan shade that would be perfectly paired with jeans or dress pants alike; some reviews even call it the perfect workplace shoe for fall.
One reviewer dealing with “swollen, angry” feet from gout called the clogs “magnificent,” as they “gave my gouty feet enough room to exist without screaming.” “They’re comfortable, roomy, easy to slip on, and somehow manage to say, ‘I have a respectable office job’” they said. “…If your feet are swollen, weird, rebellious, or simply unfit for public exhibition, these are the shoes for you.”
One shopper calls them, “the best knockoff I’ve seen, or that my feet have felt for a 1/13th the price.”
Of course, for $16, you’re not going to be getting an exact replica of more expensive brands, yet when it comes to ratings, reviewers agree that these clogs are a win. One user notes that “they’ve handled daily use beautifully — no discomfort, no loose threads, no early signs of wear” and another gives them a “10 out of 10,” pointing out that they “look exactly like the expensive brand.”
“I recently purchased this brand for the first time, and I must say, they are absolutely perfect,” Ilia wrote. “This is genuine leather, and the color and quality are stunning. I would definitely explore more of their collection because these shoes are an unbeatable deal for the price. I highly recommend them!”
Our verdict? These clogs are a great option for anyone who wants to keep their feet comfortable and their wallets full. Ahead, see what a few more reviewers had to say — or just keep scrolling to grab a pair for yourself for $16.
“I have bought these twice now for my son and he’s very happy with them. He is normally a size 13 shoe, but he wears the 12 in these, so I would say they run a bit big. Great look to these, very similar to the expensive brand, and they wear well and seem to be good quality. The price can’t be beat and there are lots of colors. I purchased black and the dark brown.” — karen
“Bought two pairs for both my boys. They love the fit and they said they are very comfortable. They came in dark grey and light grey. A good buy for the price.” — Walmart customer
“Can’t believe the price for all leather clogs! Excellent!” — Walmartcustomer
“The best knockoff I’ve seen, or that my feet have felt for a 1/13th the price. So far, these slip in clogs are well built and comfortable. The price was unbeatable too! 2 negatives dropped them a star; the footbeds, although comfortable, are not like the real deal cork footbeds. The other neg. is the soles are much harder (cheaper) than the copied clog.Overall, I recommend them. I’m a 13 in US sizing, 47 in EUR. They fit true to size.” — Robert
“Here’s the thing, I was originally going to rate them 4 stars but then I remembered the price, $20! For a the price these shoes are great, they’re true to size, comfortable, and the quality is definitely better than what you’d expect for a $20 pair of shoes. They are a great value, and I good casually show you won’t be afraid if they get a little beat up.” — anonymous

A bunch of blister bandages that will stay put
This 12-pack of Dr. Frederick’s blister bandages is a good get because it has bandages in three different shapes, designed for different parts of the feet. The hydrocolloid bandages are cushioned to protect and heel, and are waterproof so they’ll stay in place through sweat, rain and whatever else you might be up against.
Promising review: “I’ve had months to review these. I’ve tried them with water shoes, new leather boots, boots on the Burning Man playa, new shoes walking around DisneyWorld – and they are just great! Water rides? No problem. They stay on. Alkaline desert and dry heat? No problem. They stay on. Walking 12 miles in a day at a theme park? No problem. They still stay on and they add that extra bit of cushion and comfort that keeps my mood in a positive place. I’ll definitely be ordering these again once I’m out. This little pack has lasted me a surprisingly long time.” — M Camacho
A set of two shoe stretchers to shape your new pair
If your shoes are uncomfortable because they feel a bit tight, you can use shoe stretchers like these to adjust both the length and width within 24 to 48 hours. While they aren’t designed for boots, they can work with plenty of other shoe styles, like flats, sneakers, loafers and more. They come in various colors and sizes.
Plus this shoe-stretching spray to aid in softening the fabric
If you want an extra boost to help stretch out your shoes, this shoe stretch spray can be used in addition to a shoe stretcher or instead of it, if you walk around in the shoes after application. This one does work on boots, as well as heels, flats, dress shoes and more. It can soften and stretch fabric like suede, leather, canvas, nubuck and more, without staining or discoloring your shoes.
Promising review: “I had bought a pair of leather boots two years back but they pinched my feet so terribly that I was almost ready to give them away or sell them on marketplace.
Wasn’t too hopeful but thought I’d give this product a try. So so glad I did! Sprayed it on and wore the boots with a thick pair of socks. The boots were so tight, they were painful to walk in. Had to use the spray a couple of times but now they are all stretched out and I even have the space to wriggle my fingers. So glad I bought this.” — Gargi CD
