Dream Barbie wakes up easily to a pair of high heels every morning. After all, her plastic feet were angled perfectly to accommodate exaggerated stiletto arches. But what happens when (spoiler alert) her worst nightmare comes true? In the Barbie

movie, when everything in Barbie’s utopia begins to crumble and her pointy toes become flat-footed horrors, she reaches for a pair of shoes that are perfect for the real world: the Birkenstock Arizona.

Of course, the podiatrist-recommended adjustable strap sandals are nothing like the Barbie logo Sexy stiletto mules are so charming. But there’s no denying that comfortable shoes have been Barbie’s savior as she endures her new life with flat feet.

Over the years, the Birkenstock Arizona has evolved from a simple wardrobe staple to a fashion-forward casual staple. This is not surprising, as many celebrities (like Kendall Jenner and Zoë Kravitz) and designers have a penchant for turning the most mundane sartorial ideas into stunning looks. Remember when Dior brought slouchy two-button silhouettes to the runways alongside luxuriously soft felt and suede, or when Valentino stamped its signature on minimalist collaborations? The Birkenstock Arizona has become fashion’s favorite comfort-first shoe, and now it’s a new favorite for Barbie dolls too.

What could be better? These timeless sandals are available in a variety of colors, whether you’re sporting bubblegum Barbie pink or not. We’ve listed some of the best below.
