Birkenstock Boston Clogs
Hey 👋🏼 Just some Birkenstock education for everyone looking to buy out there.
As a long time wearer of Birks, it has been appalling to see so many fakes out there trying to be passed off as real.
So here’s a guide of what to look for so you don’t get tricked into paying hundreds for fakes.
Photo 2 shows the different strap studs. Real Birks have a dot and elongated text.
Photo 3 shows the number of strap notches. Real Birks have 4.
Photo 4 shows some obvious sloppy printing on footbeds and a stamped number that I keep seeing repeated on fakes. It looks like 8967 or 896Y.
Photo 5 shows inner stamp font differences.
Other notable differences: The construction! Look at that sloppy glue job of the inner right clog. Red Flag! Birkenstock would never!
Also, Real Birkenstocks have a darker hue to the stud, leather and cork.
Notable similarity that can fool you: The soles are nearly identical.
Beware of language like “AAA” or “made in same factory”, as 99% of the time that is not true. Also real Birkenstocks arrive with tags attached to the LEFT shoe, never anywhere else. So misplaced tags can also be a red flag.
I hope this helps some of you! Please “share” this post to inform others here on the platform.
Thanks! xo

I’ve seen dozens of these lately and have reported all of them and tried to politely inform seller and potential buyers in the comments, but no matter how many time “replica” is reported, Poshmark rarely takes them down and they end up still getting sold for extravagant amounts of money.
The differences are obvious in a split second, a mile away, to me. 🤦🏽♀️

@parrkparquet I’m already bothered by the price gouging of actual Birkenstocks, but to see price gouging on fakes!? It’s insane. I’ve reported a few as well, but nothing has seemed to happen. I figured the best I could do is inform buyers through this post.

Another dead giveaway is when you see a brand new pair of “guaranteed authentic” Birks listed for a fraction of the price of other Birks. The old saying if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is, applies.

The Birkenstock website has great sales. Often less expensive than here and you know they are real.

Hello! I’m selling a pair of authentic birks, take a look if your interested! This post helped me find a real pair, unfortunately they don’t fit right.

This makes me so sad bc I actually fell for a fake one being fairly new to birks. Thank goodness Poshmark refunded me. Sadly, that experience has disheartened me against buying them on this site. 😔

I have purchased 3 suede bostons and from pictures they look authentic. When I receive them, they are not what was pictured. I have received refunds but it is so hard to get authentic ones on posh…😢

@figi0802 That’s really upsetting. I’m sorry that happened to you. I’m happy you received a refund.
