Crocs Classic Metallic Buckle Clog vs Birkenstock Boston Big Buckle Shearling Clog

Buy the Birkenstock Boston Big Buckle clog if you want a contoured cork-latex footbed that molds to your foot and a plush shearling upper for cold days. The Crocs is lighter, fully water-friendly and simpler to clean; the Birkenstock is heavier, warmer and built around long-term arch support. Owners of the Crocs praise the fit and complain about thin arch support; Birkenstock's cork footbed is the main reason people step up.
