BIRKENSTOCK opens new store in Chestnut Hill

Newton, MA BIRKENSTOCK Americas has opened its 15th company-owned retail store in the United States, in Chestnut Hill, joining the brand’s growing Boston-area footprint following last year’s Newbury St. opening.

Located outside the city, Chestnut Hill is known for its classic New England charm, retail corridor, and engaged community. Its blend of tradition, modern living and neighborhood energy creates a fitting backdrop for BIRKENSTOCK’s latest store.

The BIRKENSTOCK Chestnut Hill store offers products for women, men, and kids, including the brand’s iconic sandals and clogs, and a range of sneakers, shoes, boots, socks and more. Guests can also explore the BIRKENSTOCK Care Essentials collection, focused on foot and body care products. 

Designed through the lens of BIRKENSTOCK heritage, the space features signature materials such as cork, felt, and leather, creating a warm, tactile environment that invites guests to discover the full collection. 

“Chestnut Hill is a natural next step for us in the Boston area. This new space allows us to bring BIRKENSTOCK to both our loyal fans and those just discovering the brand, furthering our connection to an area that has embraced us for generations,” said David Kahan, president and managing director, BIRKENSTOCK Americas. 

The opening of the Chestnut Hill store marks the 15th BIRKENSTOCK-owned retail location in the United States and comes as the brand approaches the 50-year milestone of its iconic Boston clog in 2026. 

BIRKENSTOCK Chestnut Hill is located at The Street Chestnut Hill, 27 Boylston St., and is open daily.
