Birkenstock clogs are on sale everywhere - including up to £116 off our favourite Boston-style in the Amazon Prime Day sale
Not so long ago, if you'd announced that clogs were the height of fashion, most people would have laughed at the notion. However, that was before the Birkenstock Boston clog became the shoe du jour, worn by stylish celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Zoe Kravitz and Kaia Gerber.
Now, the cork-soled, suede clogs are hugely popular, and available in a vast array of colours and finishes to keep up with voracious demand. Although it might take a while to get your head around this type of functional, slip-on shoe being a style statement, part of the appeal is clear: the neutral colours complement most outfits well, and the footbed is wonderfully comfortable.

Styling wise, you'll spot Gen Z wearing these with everything from workwear to maxi skirts. If in doubt, a good starting point is to wear them with jeans or loose, wide-leg trousers – both of which suit the casual vibe of the slip-on Bostons.
One thing that might put you off, however, is the £140 price tag. Although the Birkenstock Bostons use premium materials such as suede, and have an anatomically-shaped footbed for extra comfort, this obviously comes at a price, and it might not be attainable for everyone.
Luckily, the on-trend clog design has become a go-to for many brands, with some of these currently on sale for Amazon Prime Day. Savings of between 15 and 29 per-cent put these shoes between £23 and £33, offering a good price point to get the Birkenstock vibe for less. Here are a few of our favourites…

Controversial BBC sitcom confirms return to TV after racist slur apology – and it's just weeks away
A CONTROVERSIAL BBC sitcom has been confirmed to return to TV despite the show's star being forced to apologise over a racial slur. The Beeb have officially revealed the show will be back for a fifth series and it's only weeks away. 3 3 Mrs Brown's Boys will return for its fifth series on Friday 1st August at 9:30pm on BBC One. The BBC tease: "Agnes Brown and the gang from Finglas are back! "Everyone's favourite Irish Mammy returns for a brand new fifth series featuring all your favourite characters, so get ready for more slapstick shenanigans this spring!" The BBC's head of comedy, Jon Petrie added: "Brendan has created an iconic comedy character in Agnes Brown. "Mrs. Brown's Boys is a BAFTA-winning comedy show and one of the BBC's most-watched comedies ever. I'm proud to have it in the BBC Comedy stable." The BBC have also reportedly commissioned a full series of a new comedy starring Mrs Brown's Boys star Brendan O'Carroll alongside Tommy Cannon. Filming on the series is due to commence in July and will air on BBC One. Titled Shedites, Mrs Brown's Boys star Brendan Carroll plays the lead role 'Jimmy', with Tommy Cannon starring as his best friend. Produced by BBC Studios, Brendan's Mrs Brown's Boys co-writer Paddy Houlihan scripted Shedites. Speaking to The Irish Sun in December 2023, Brendan shared: 'I've been advocating for the BBC to make this show for a long time because as well as being really funny, it highlights men's mental health. Mrs Brown's Boys star insists racist joke at Christmas special filming 'was a good thing' for the BBC because it 'raised awareness' 'It's not something men talk about, but it's got easier because of the men's shed movement which has sprung up in UK and Ireland. 'There's a kitchen, a card table and all that but even more important, men can go there and talk through their problems.' It comes following calls from Jon Petrie, The Director of Comedy at the BBC, to "save our sitcoms." He previously said: "If our comedy eco-system is shrinking, then it's on all us to fight for the right of UK mainstream comedy to exist. Best BBC comedies A BBC boss called on the industry to "save our sitcoms", but the corporation has a history of fantastic shows. We look back at some of the best to ever grace the screen. Fawlty Towers (1975-1979) - Only two series were made of the beloved institution. However, the cultural impact of the series starring John Cleese and Connie Booth spans decades. It follows rude and intolerant Basil Fawlty (Cleese) as he attempts to improve the reputation of his hotel. Only Fools and Horses (1981-2003) - The show was crowned by some as the best British sitcom of all time by a TV poll in 2004. Seven series were broadcast on BBC until 1991 with additional sporadic Christmas specials airing until 2003. Sir David Jason starred as ambitious market trader Derek "Del Boy" Trotter whilst Nicholas Lyndhurst played his younger half-brother Rodney. Set in working-class Peckham in south-east London, it follows the highs and lows of the lives of the Trotters', in particular their brazen attempts to get rich. Blackadder (1983 - 1989) - Four series were made of the iconic show, created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. Each series spans a different historical period as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder (Atkinson) tries to better himself in each society. Accompanied by his dogsbody Baldrick (Tony Robinson), trouble always ensues. A TV poll in 2004 found that Blackadder was voted the second-best British sitcom of all time Absolutely Fabulous (1992 - 2012) - Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley star as failing PR guru Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon and alcoholic fashionista Patsy Stone. The pair embark on heavy-drinking sessions and abuse drugs in a desperate attempt to stay 'hip'. Eddie constantly chases bizarre fads and fails to lose weight whilst her disappointed and neglected daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha) looks on. Little Britain (2003 - 2006) - The premise is simple. A sketch show which features different British people from all walks of life that are engaged in all sorts of comical scenarios. Starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the pair created iconic pop culture characters. Viewers loved obnoxious council estate teenager Vicky Pollard, morbidly obese scrounger Bubbles Devere, slimming coach Marjorie Dawes, despondent office worker Carol Beer, disgraced politician Sir Norman Fry, of course the iconic Lou and Andy! The Catherine Tate Show (2004-2015) - A sketch show starring the likes of Catherine Tate. She made iconic characters such as rowdy schoolgirl Lauren Cooper with her line 'Am I bovvered?'. Other characters featured Bernie the nurse, the aga saga woman, complaining couple Janice and Ray, and of course her infamous 'Nan', Joannie Taylor. The last character herself spawned multiple specials and even a movie. Gavin and Stacey (2007 - Present) The series tells the story of Gavin (Matthew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page). The pair embarked on an online and telephone romance for six months. But when they finally decide to be together properly, their friends and family get in the way. Ruth Jones and James Corden created the beloved show, which has been going for over a decade. The 2019 Christmas special was the most-watched comedy in 17 years and the most-viewed non-sporting event in a decade. "The sitcom isn't dead but it needs a couple of Berocca. And a black americano with two sugars." News of the Mrs Browns boys return comes after Brendan O'Carroll was forced to issue a grovelling apology after he cracked a 'joke' using the N-word in front of a junior member of production who was so upset they later quit. Last year, the BBC temporarily halted filming of the show's Christmas special after Brendan made the attempted gag which he later admitted it had backfired. A TV insider said: 'Virtually everyone in the room on the day that the outburst happened were shocked, but the reading continued for some time without anyone saying or doing anything as they were so stunned. 'There was no excuses for what he said or any kind of context or mitigation he could provide for making the slur, he just seemed to think it was amusing.' Brendan said of the incident: 'At a read-through of the Mrs Brown's Boys Christmas specials, there was a clumsy attempt at a joke, where a racial term was implied. 'It backfired and caused offence, which I deeply regret and for which I have apologised.' 3

EXCLUSIVE Ludvig Aberg on Sir Andy Murray's golf swing, the influence of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard and his hopes for The Open ahead of its Portrush return
'And I'm thinking to myself, how did I get here?' asks Ludvig Aberg with wide-eyed wonderment and it's not a bad question considering our conversation has wandered from Steven Gerrard to Sir Andy Murray 's golf swing to the possibility of a dream coming true. There is also an unexpected detour to his love for Bondi Rescue, a cult Australian TV programme, but first Aberg – the world's most exciting young golfer – is taking us vividly to the moment he knew life had changed in April 2024, on Augusta's picture-perfect eleventh fairway. Aberg had turned professional 10 months earlier and, in that time, he had accomplished what many tour pros could only dream about: he had been part of a successful European Ryder Cup team and won the European Masters, showing why there had been such hype around his rise. But this young Swede is like the rest of us. When good things happen so quickly that it almost seems impossible to process, there comes a point when reflection must be taken. For Aberg, it was a stroll with Rory McIlroy, someone at that point he had only really been accustomed to seeing on TV. 'Life has changed a lot, very fast,' he says. 'I remember I had this moment at last year's Masters. I was playing practice with Rory and we were walking down number 11. He was with Harry (Diamond, his caddie) and, just for a moment, I slowed down behind them to watch. 'You know the run around 11, 12, 13 (Amen Corner) – I'm looking at all thinking: 'I only turned pro a year ago.' I couldn't believe it. It was such a cool moment. 'It will stick with me for a long time and it's important to remember. You can't ever take these things for granted.' You can see Aberg, who actually finished second that week, means it. He has reaped rich dividends already through golf but it is the history that provides his greatest inspiration and what price would you give for him and McIlroy to be walking down the 18th together this Sunday? We can discuss that in due course but we have to return to not taking things for granted, for there was another ''is this really happening moment?'' when he was approached to give marks out of 10 for a YouTube feature on the state of Murray's game. Murray, ferocious competitor that he is, would love to get into a position where he could try to compete in next year's Regional Qualifying events for The Open and, from what Aberg saw, it might not be the flight of fancy it sounds. 'Hey, that swing was really good!' Aberg says, laughing. 'Like it was really, really good! Man, I was impressed! They told us: 'be as honest as you can with him!' but I just didn't know what to say. I think he's going to be able to play really good golf in the future.' Another man who would love to say he could do play to that level in the future is Gerrard, who was a bigger figure in his childhood than any golfer. 'Gerrard was my big hero growing up,' he declares, proudly. 'I played football myself and I loved him as a player. But I loved he was the captain and he'd carry the team. 'I supported Liverpool because of him. I'm a fan and always will be. The last few weeks have been awful. I just hope everyone is ok.' The reference to Diogo Jota's tragic death is the only time in this conversation, arranged by his sponsors Mercedes, that his demeanour changes. Aberg is respectful and courteous, a man who impresses with the clarity of his words and thoughts. It has been a privilege to see him striking balls so crisply on the range in recent days and the vibes he gives suggest he might not be too far away from emulating his compatriot Henrik Stenson, who made himself a national hero in 2016 when going head-to-head with Phil Mickelson at Troon. 'Oh I remember that day,' he says enthusiastically. 'We usually have a tournament that weekend in Sweden; in 2016 it finished on the Saturday, so we sat down to watch every shot. I thought that shootout was the coolest thing I had ever seen. 'Henrik has the biggest profile in Swedish golf and he's done so much for the game. That was the pinnacle. A couple of months later, Henrik almost won the Olympics as well, so for a little 15-year-old, it was incredible to see that. This is the tournament that has such history and means so much.' You can tell, clearly, that Aberg believes his game is in the right shape to contend. He has power and sorcery, intuition and imagination and there won't be any excuses if it doesn't go as expected. Deep down, though, you suspect he will be just fine. 'I definitely feel like I have the tools and the capabilities,' he says. 'The experiences I've had recently have made me feel like I can do it. I want to win here and I want to perform. Anyone who is in the field should be thinking like that. 'If there was one thing I learnt last year it was 'it is what it is' with the weather. If it rains, I'll get my rain gear. If it's windy, I'll keep the ball flight a little bit lower. It's all part of it. I will be ready for whatever comes my way.'
