Birkenstock is hiking its prices — and yes, you can thank Trump’s tariffs for that.
The universally beloved, celeb-approved sandal (worn by style icons from Zendaya to Sir Paul McCartney) is getting slapped with a 10% tariff, and Birkenstock’s response? Raise prices in the United States on select products. That’s right, your cozy, cork-soled shoes are about to become as affordable as a Sunday brunch in Brooklyn.

While no official date has been announced for the price jump, there is a silver lining: Amazon is having a Birkenstock sale right now. So if you’ve been eyeing a fresh pair, now’s the time to act, before they’re priced like vintage Air Jordans or, worse, a dozen organic eggs.
“We will be fully offsetting the effects from current existing tariffs,” Chief Financial Officer Ivica Krolo told Reuters in an interview. “We’re not raising in one region only, we see it as a global exercise.”
Believe it or not, Birkenstocks have been around since 1774 — yeah, the year before the American Revolution, and were first created by a German cobbler.

Fast-forward a couple of centuries, and these sandals — with their squishy footbeds, adjustable straps, and foot-hugging arches — are the go-to for anyone battling plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or just sick of shoes that feel like torture devices. But it wasn’t until the 1970s (nearly 200 years later) that Birkenstocks really hit their stride. The Arizona sandal dropped, and the world hasn’t looked back since. It’s still one of the brand’s top sellers to this day.
“The fit and comfort is exceptional. Very durable and lightweight! I love Birkenstock products,” said one Birkenstock customer. “These sandals are adorable and look cute with absolutely everything. You can dress them up or down for everyday wear. I will be buying some in every color,” said another Birkenstock customer.
