Why We Love This Deal
Birkenstock’s Arizona sandals are some of the most iconic shoes in the world, thanks largely to how comfortable that classic cork footbed is. But the brand offers more than supportive sandals, and many of those shoes still use the same cork construction. This pair of sleek Chelsea boots is one of them, and right now, they're over 40% off.
The Birkenstock Bend Chelsea Boots are usually $170, but this Nordstrom Rack sale brings the price down to $100. The only colorway on sale is the cognac one featured here, but you can head to Birkenstock’s site to grab the black boots for $114.

- Midsole: Cork-latex
- Outsole: Rubber
- Lining: Leather
- Best For: Casual wear, dressing up, city life
These boots, which are part of the larger Bend collection, take the brand’s comfort-first approach and apply it to the classic Chelsea style, boasting a smooth leather upper, elastic side gores, and a flexible rubber outsole. The standout feature is definitely Birkenstock’s cork-latex footbed, which will mold to your feet over time and give you built-in arch support (something that’s not common in a lot of Chelseas).
One of the most popular Chelsea boots right now is Blundstone’s Original 500, which retails for $200 (and rarely goes on sale). Blundstone’s version originated as a farm boot, so it's no surprise that it's worn today as a more rugged, workwear-style boot. Birkenstock’s boots are a bit more unique, toeing the line between a work boot and a fashion boot. The main upside is that you get a hint of ruggedness with the legendarily comfy footbed that forms to your feet, making them a battery everyday pick for some.

What Shoppers Are Saying
This is a relatively newer silhouette for Birkenstock (it dropped in late 2024), so reviews are on the lighter side. But if you take a look at the Google Reviews, you’ll see that they’re a hit. One shopper said that most Chelseas they’ve tried have been too heavy, but these were “lighter weight but still sturdy enough.” A second shopper wrote, “Comfy from the minute I put them on, no break-in time at all.”
Birkenstock’s trademark support makes their shoes a great choice for those who need it, and these boots are no exception: “I have lots of foot pain, so I live in Birkenstocks as they are the most comfortable shoe for me.”
The Birkenstock Bend Chelsea Boots are a classic pair of boots that make full use of the brand’s legendary cork footbed, and $70 off is a big deal. Just be sure to grab your size while it’s still in stock.
