Hi there,

A heatwave has swept Europe, and the global Good On You team has been spotting countless Birkenstock Arizonas on the feet of Londoners and Parisians alike. But the much-loved comfy sandal brand is rated “Not Good Enough” by our analysts, meaning it’s not taking sufficient action to reduce its impact or be transparent about it. And having sold so many shoes, Birkenstock ought to be leading by example here. 

In this week’s issue, we’re sharing some alternatives from brands that are doing better, plus our round-up of other sandals, including raffia options, clogs, cork wedges, and more, to keep your feet cool in heatwaves and many summers to come.

In this week’s issue:
  • More sustainable alternatives to Birkenstock, including vegan options
  • Stylish sandals to invest in: You’ll be wearing these for many summers to come
  • Warm weather wardrobe options from brands with Offers for Good On You readers 
In our last rating review of Birkenstock, we discovered that the lack of lower-impact materials, living wages, or animal welfare regulations put a damper on the whole outlook for this now iconic sandal brand, so we hunted down Birkenstock alternatives you’ll love even more. Check out these four picks, then click through to the journal for the full edit.

What makes a more sustainable sandal? Look for lower-impact materials like cork, raffia, more responsibly sourced natural rubber, and recycled materials. If you prefer vegan options, check out the range of alternative leather options, including some made from grape and apple skins, and be mindful of the use of plastics in vegan footwear. Our ultimate sandal guide has a host of options, including these four top picks:

Perhaps you’re in the midst of a heatwave in Europe, or you’ve retired some of your summer clothes at the end of the season in the southern hemisphere and need a few new options.
