Scout's honor: I've been a die-hard Birkenstock fan for over a decade. Those classic slip-on potato clog shoes have had me in a chokehold since I was a teenager. And honestly, I’ve lost count of how many pairs I’ve bought. But let’s be real, my bank account hasn’t exactly been a fan of the $100+ obsession through the years. So when I saw that Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are offering tons of Birkenstock alternatives for literally a fraction of the price (ahem, under $30 to be specific!), I had to jump on it.

If I'm gonna be so for real with you, you'd legit have to take them off and inspect them to spot the difference. And don't you worry, I found budget-friendly versions of the cult-favorite Arizona Sandal and Boston Clog that are so on-point they'll make you do a double-take. The best part? You can grab a few pairs in different colors—without putting a dent in your wallet.

Keep scrolling to see for yourself! I made sure to find you lookalike styles that have the same buckled details, cushy footbeds, and that iconic laid-back, beachy vibe you know and love. And with deals up to 40% off, now’s the time to hit "add to cart" before they’re gone. Don’t forget: October Prime Day ends tonight, so these deals won’t stick around for long!

For most shoes, I instantly love them more if they’re platform—probably because I’m only 4'11", so every inch counts! The chunky sole adds a stylish, chic touch to the casual shoe.
