Germany shoemaker Birkenstock continues to impress with its latest drop -- the Reykjavik clog. It boasts a rugged design that is defined by its borrowed elements. The heel is drawn from the London silhouette and the rest is taken from the classic Birkenstock clog.
To add another protective element to the shoe, it features a rubber protector from its Professional footwear series that is a go-to line for workers on their feet throughout the day, including doctors and chefs. The Reykjavik clog has a lightweight build and a rubber shell inspired by the Professional line -- this has a sturdy and weather-resistant sensibility. It is now available to shop online at Birkenstock with the option of carious nubuck leather colorways.
