Why We Love This Deal
Birkenstock’s closed-back styles don’t get as much attention as backless models like the Arizona Sandal or the Boston Clog, but if you had to pick one to wear all day through the spring and summer, it's worth looking at the London Clog. A product of the '80s, the London is one of the oldest closed-toe shoes in the brand’s catalog, and they’re over 40% off at Nordstrom Rack right now.
The $175 Birkenstock London Clogs are down to $100 at the Rack, a 42% discount. Sizes 8 through 13 are all in stock, but the only available colorway is the Antique White. White shoes may be a turnoff for some, but in most cases, including here with this casual pair of slip-ons, they tend to look better when life decorates them with bumps, scrapes, and scuffs.

What Shoppers Should Know
- Upper: Suede with adjustable metal pin buckle
- Footbed: Cork-latex with suede lining
- Sole: EVA
- Construction: Closed-toe clog, made in Portugal
- Best For: Everyday wear, casual styling, cool weather
The Londons are one of Birk’s oldest closed-toe silhouettes, and they've held up as well as everything else in the lineup. The suede upper and clean lines give it a natural, old-school look that pairs easily with denim or chinos, and the adjustable buckle strap keeps the fit dialed in without the break-in period you sometimes get with other clogs. They’re finished with the brand’s signature cork footbed that gets comfier the more you wear them.
The Londons are essentially the Bostons with a closed back, so it's worth comparing the two. The Bostons run $170 at full retail and have the same suede upper/cork footbed, but the London adds an adjustable back strap, giving it a refined look and a more customizable fit. Here, the back actually matters, unlike styles you'd see from Dansko clogs, where the back is simply for looks.

What Shoppers Are Saying
There aren’t any written reviews for the Londons at Nordstrom Rack quite yet, but there are plenty on Birkenstock’s site. One of them reads, “They may be the most comfortable I've owned ever.” A die-hard Birkenstock fan wrote, “I have three different pairs of Birkenstocks, but these take the cake.”
Another shopper found these to be great travel shoes, writing, “I like this model for traveling comfortably. For someone on the go, it’s a great pair with excellent support and a fully closed design.”
The Birkenstock London Clogs are available now for $100. Just be sure to take advantage of this deal while sizes are still available, because Birkenstocks sell out quite quickly when they’re on sale for prices this low.
