Birkenstock sandals are Barbie-approved – these are the pink styles to buy now

The movie has caused a 340 per cent surge in demand for the cult shoe brand

Barbie mania has swept the world – the movie has hit $1 billion at the box office in just 17 days (making history for female directors) and women are allegedly breaking up with their boyfriends if they don’t “get” the film.

From that viral “I am Kenough” hoodie to Margot Robbie’s covetable press tour wardrobe, fashion has provided a main talking point – including a certain scene-stealing shoe courtesy of Birkenstock. Appearing not once, but twice in the film, there’s been a reported 340 per cent surge in demand for the cult shoe.

Of course, Barbie isn’t the first to put Birks on the style map. Plumped for by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber and Gigi Hadid, the brand has enjoyed somewhat of a renaissance in recent years – particularly its Arizona sandal, worn by Margot Robbie in the movie.

Styling with a white tank top, blue jeans and a khaki blazer for her first trip to the gynecologist, the shoe choice represents Barbie’s acceptance of the real world.

The exact rose hued Arizona sandal with silver hardware is sold out (naturally) – but if you’re choosing flats over stilettos this season à la Barbie, you can shop near-identical pink Birkenstock’s below.

Birkenstock Arizona sandals in rose pink nubuck: £105, Asos.com

Finished in a muted blush “rose” pink, Birkenstock’s classic Arizona silhouette is worn by Barbie in the movie. The only difference to this pair is the gold hardware. The slip on style and open toe design is nice and airy for hot summer days while the adjustable straps adds to their comfort appeal.

As with all of Birkenstock’s shoes, the contoured cork footbed conforms to the shape of your feet over time for the perfect fit. We reviewed the matcha coloured vegan Arizona’s for our round-up of the best summer shoes for women, describing them as comfortable, durable and timeless.

An earthy twist on the classic style, these Arizona’s are entirely vegan and feature the same silver hardware as Barbie’s pair.

With September around the corner, we’re already giving thought to our transitional wardrobe – and Birkenstock’s A-lister-favourite Boston’s are a cult choice. Lean into Barbiecore with this pink clay pair of the clogs, featuring a blush finish and matching adjustable buckle hardware.

The white sole provides some contrast while the suede outer adds texture. The OG Bostons earned a spot in our round-up of the best clogs, where we said: “The soft footbed and additional foam layer helps hug the foot, and there’s even the helpful choice of a narrow or regular fit.”
