Secret Birkenstock Sale Hero Collage
Rue La La

It's possible to get through an entire summer without picking up a new pair of Birkenstocks—but I'm not sure why you'd want to, especially when you can snag a bunch of the famously comfortable sandals at a rare discount right now. That's right, y'all, I found a secret Birkenstock sale at Rue La La that saves you some major dough on the brand's leather and vegan leather styles. (I'm talking women's shoes starting at $72!)

To gain access, simply create a free account on the site by entering your email address, then proceed to the deals! Sounds easy enough, right? I certainly think so, which is why I plan on scooping up as many of the brand's must-have styles as I can before they inevitably sell out in my size.

After all, you can never have too many Birkenstocks. Personally, I'm eyeing this fan-favorite Arizona Big Buckle pair ($160; $130) in luscious burgundy, along with these fuzzy shearling slides ($140; $120) that are perfect for the colder months. But there are a lot more where these came from—and you can shop six of the best of them below.

The brand's tried-and-true Arizona style is always a good bet—especially if you're lucky enough to snag a pair while they're marked down. I'm loving this luxe leather pair in deep burgundy, which, combined with the gold-tone hardware of the oversized buckles, makes them perfect for wearing into fall. One former PureWow staffer owns a version of this style and had nothing but good things to say about it. "That big buckle makes such a difference in elevating the look of these crunchy sandals,” she explained. “I love pairing mine with a cute maxi dress for spring, but they also make me feel more put-together when I throw them on to walk my dog. They’re so versatile and oh-so comfy.” Thank the suede-lined cork footbed for that last point, as it conforms to your foot over time.

The white and silver combo of these Gizeh sandals make them feel straight out of the closet of a Greek goddess. (Paging Zendaya!) Another staffer is obsessed: "These give way more support than your average flip-flop, but are still a fabulous shoe to throw on with shorts, jumpsuits and dresses.” What she didn't mention is that the wider toe strap, adjustable buckle and signature cork footbed provide optimal comfort and functionality, so prepare to wear these thong sandals on repeat. Your feet will thank you—and at this price, so will your wallet.

Rustic buckles, oiled leather and a ridged EVA sole give these strappy sandals an earthy, lived-in look that's ideal for outdoor adventures. But are they comfy enough to wander in? Given that they feature the same contoured leather footbed that buyers can't stop talking about, I think they'll exceed your expectations for both style and comfort.

The single-strap silhouette of the Madrid slides makes them a favorite for achieving that "quiet luxury" look, and in this muted, gold-accented colorway, this pair totally nails it. The supple oiled leather and polished buckle take them up a few notches, and due to the contoured cork-latex footbed, they're a shoe you can step out in for hours. In other words, they're a suitcase must for that upcoming vacay.

If you already have a collection of Birkenstock sandals and have been looking for a style that stands out from the rest, consider your search over. These classic cork slides boast a unique three-strap upper in the brand's Birko-Flor vegan leather that looks like the real deal. The footbed is made of genuine suede, however, and comes complete with the cutest floral design. IMO, they strike the perfect balance between utility and whimsy.

Fall and winter will be here before we know it, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in some fuzzy slides you can slip into on chilly mornings. Enter: these beauties from Birkenstock's Papillio line. Crisscross straps made of soft suede are complemented by plush shearling lining, cradling your foot in what's essentially its own fur coat. Cozy comfort is a given, but I also like that the EVA sole is a thicker platform, providing extra padding and height.
