It’s 2022 and the years of gendered shoes are over. To some extent, gendered everything is coming to an end; my sister got a shower set of Lynx Africa for Christmas, although when I congratulated my Grandma on her – perhaps ironic – progressiveness, she merely mixed up the labels. Oh well.
Admittedly that’s by-the-by. Gendered shoes, however, are things of the past, as Birkenstock’s Zermatt slipper range redemocratises comfort with a minimalist non-gendered design. The shoe features a removable footbed, which allows you to mix and match insoles, staying attuned to the nuanced shapes and sizes of feet. The Zermatt from Parasol comes with a snug shearling insole, bringing cork and comfort together.
Parasol has a great collection of other Birkenstocks, all built around comfort and accessible style.
